The gallery features ten exhibitions a year that showcase the works of over 100 local artists, ranging from emerging to professional. The gallery also has a boutique gift shop where the work of local artisans can be purchased year-round. Often referred to as “the little red house on Mill Lake,” nearly 12,000 people visited the gallery in 2012.
