Overflow Parking

Posted on

Construction for new studios to start after Labor Day!

We are making our campus better than ever! Please be patient as we make a little dust and mess this fall, expanding the ceramics, sculpture, jewelry and young artist studio spaces. It will be worth it!

Overflow Parking

During construction, parking in our lot may be a little limited. But we have good news! We have secured the use of the two rows of parking spaces across from Publix for overflow parking through December. Thank you to Crealdé Business Center for leasing the space to us.

There will be directional signage in place indicating where you can park if our lot is full.
