Thanks. Good idea on the magazine coverage. It is indeed a trippy place, worth a visit if you are at all within reach of it.

Wow. Wonder stuff. Some very good art is shown here. Color me surprised... and Bluefield Proud! - Compliments go to the video makers as well, very well done.

You ought to try and get WVVA in to do a piece on this (though they wouldn't do it justice... I have no doubt). Maybe a magazine like Art in America. It deserves more recognition.

I'm originally from Bluefield and I think it's fantastic that such a place like exists. I'll check it out next time I'm in town.

Dear Shelia: You are welcome. It is truly an innovative place in a town in need of such. Shows how a handful of dedicated folks can raise the spirits and energy in the midst of trying times.

I walk/ drive past this place almost everyday and I've always wanted to go in and check it out because I love the art that's displayed in the window. One day I'll get my nerve up and gather a few of my friends and we'll have to check it out! Great info!!
