    Coolest place downtown!!! This art co-op has something for everyone on your list. Local artists have a place to show case their creation and tell a story. I got to meet one of the artists during my visit, who told me about how she made her pieces. Such a neat place!!

    This artist co-op is full of such creative and wonderful items. There is pottery, clocks, jewelry, hanging art, etc. prices are affordable and expected from local artists. Take a moment to look around and support the local artists. I bought a pottery bowl and a necklace. Both are beautiful and unique. This is a great place to find gifts for you or others in your life.

    What a cool place! This little shop has just locally crafted pieces and is run by the people who make the art. They have great jewelry and really neat art pieces. The clocks and the wild flower art were my favorite. Swing by next time you are in the area and enjoy this shop. They are super nice and you’ll love what they have to offer!
