My friend and I have Autism and with that brings a special interest in elevators of any kind. When we arrived to check out the elevator in the Octagon space, the studios upstairs had closed for the day, but the staff couldn't have been more supportive of our hobby. They welcomed us to videotape their very unique elevator and were super interested in our hobby. This place has friendly people all around and for that reason I recommend supporting them.

A wonderful community treasure! Heather and her team always have engaging and inclusive art programming, exhibitions, along with a wonderful selection of artful gifts in the shop.
Miss Beth's educational programming is helping to foster new generations of Ames area youth that are confident, supportive, and supported in their artist journeys.
Stop in and make your day an art-filled adventure, you won't be disappointed. Support what they do, and the artists they serve, by becoming a member, and finding your next favorite artist in their store.
