Business of Art Center

The Business of Art Center is an award-winning nonprofit art center open to the public with ongoing art exhibitions in four separate galleries. The seven equipped art studios occupied by more than 20 artists, along with a gift gallery, help support area artists. Convention, meeting and event facilities are topped off by a tantalizing espresso bar.

      This is a small exhibit, but one packed with imagination and artistic insights. For example, the different approaches taken to the presentation of the work are very intriguing. Highly recommended.
