Love this little museum with great art from the community. The glass blowing exhibition around the corner is excellent and not to be missed.

The Morean Arts Center is a great place to spend an afternoon. The Chihuly exhibit is impressive and beautifully presented, and afterward you can head across the street for a glass‑blowing demonstration if you choose — a really cool way to see the craft up close. The whole experience is well organized, interesting, and worth the visit.

Love this local gem of an art gallery! Wonderful showcases to be seen here by some talented artists. Check out the talent they have when you can. I loved seeing some of the SHINE ON Festival Artists on display & capturing it in a creative, unique way with my glass spheres. Never a dull moment of creative viewing at this charming establishment with friendly staff! I'm excited to see what future shows they offer to the public & and the majority of the time is free. I've even been to a cupcake contest and tasting here! I highly recommend it!

I’ve had the wonderful experience of taking Tidal Tuesday pottery classes from Paul Dobelhoff. His passion for pottery is very contagious, he creates a positive, welcoming environment for students of all levels. What truly sets him apart is his generosity with his time and knowledge. He is always willing to offer extra guidance, answer questions, and provide thoughtful feedback, never making you feel rushed. Whether you’re a beginner or more experienced, he meets you where you are and genuinely wants to see you improve and create amazing pieces. Paul adds topics and instruction that you won’t find in any other studio such as, how to fix/repair any problem with breakage and glazes, and how to make your own underglazes!! I’ve learned so much from him and always look forward to each session. I highly recommend Paul’s classes to anyone interested in pottery—he’s not only a skilled instructor but also a truly kind and supportive teacher.
