Whether you're clocked out for lunch, exploring the area, or visiting Alcove, join us for hands-on art activities, live music, and artist talks. Plus, complimentary coffee and refreshments are provided!

This month join us for a crafts day with clay, paint markers, yarn, and more while DJ Dex One performs!
