Be sure to check the operating hours of Artspace and the surrounding area. Finding artists at work is a real plus, as they are usually very willing to explain their techniques. Even if they are not available, it's possible for other artists to open some studios to allow you to browse and purchase artwork. Or, when all else fails and... More

Artspace is such fun to walk thru, browse the wonderful studios and engage the artists--unique collectibles, great art of all mediums. After Artspace--take a stroll around Moore Square, stop for coffee and lunch--makes for a great lazy afternoon with guests or friends "hanging" together. More

What a great find! It is a large building filled to the brim with talented and eclectic artists studios. The first Friday night of each month is a FIRST FRIDAY.

My 16 yr old daughter and I really enjoyed the Artspace. Great galleries with lots of different mediums shown. We also talked to many of the artists and it was fun to hear their stories! More

I love this place. It has some gallery space on both levels. And then there are the individual spaces for artists to work and show off their pieces. The arists are so friendly to talk to. The location near City Market and Moore Square is great. The first Friday of every month the whole place is alive with live music... More
