The quiet reverence for 'true art' is overwhelming as the gallery manager stands quietly 'at your service' but not 'in your face'. The experience of slowly walking through this true gallery is so refreshing and a great place to find your center and open your eyes.

With a focus on diverse creativity, the space also hosts guest artists who contribute to Roanoke's growing art scene.

These activities provide a fun, interactive experience for people of all ages and skill levels. Additionally, the gallery offers custom picture framing services, perfect for preserving personal artworks or showcasing your favorite pieces. When I visited the Art Space all the artists there were very welcoming and hospitable, providing me with much information about the place. It was clear that they loved creating their art and also enjoyed sharing the process, as well as the art itself, with visitors and art enthusiasts who visited the place. I walked around observing the artworks being exhibited and the tags with information about the art and sale price. It was a great opportunity to purchase a reasonably priced artwork to decorate a special space in your house, while also supporting and encouraging the local growing art talent. I would definitely encourage all those reading my review to take the time to visit this Art Space and take advantage of all its has to offer. Mingle with the artists here and watch their artistic creative process firsthand, ask questions, and grow with the experience, for art is the food of our souls and enriches our lives.

Fortunately I called ahead to set up a tour (205-5404754) because they are only open Saturday 11-4. What a gem in local history and artists. They had just opened a section on "Wheels" by George T Anderson, Jr on the history of wheels brought to life with hand carved and handmade examples throughout time. There was a native American section with more arrowheads than I have ever seen collected. A 2 seater outhouse and an African-American musician section. Loads of local history and so many other sections to see. We were there almost 2 hours and you could easily spend more time if you wanted. If you are looking for a unique experience this is the place to go!

Notably, you might think that an underground mine would be open all year, but apparently there are still enough safety concerns that it is closed for a large part of fall and winter. This led me to check it out in a hurry before my opportunity disappeared for the year. After waiting in a museum outside the mine itself, a tour guide escorts you in for a tour on foot (they apparently tried and failed to do golf carts instead, and useless display screens from this experiment are still standing). This is a small section of mine that apparently was used specifically for display purposes for quite a while. The style of mining here was known to be both sociopathically cruel but also a major part of this country's internal development and its projection of power during war when coal was still king. In addition to these stories, there are also a number of fossils and other interesting sights. It is a small section of mine, and a tour with relatively few questions ran about 45 minutes. There's more to learn about the area and about coal than you could get in that time, but I certainly got enough detail in my tour to be worth the trip.
