Making art part of life

Our newest exhibit at Fareways opened with a reception for the community on Saturday, January 18th. The exhibit will be on display until mid-May. All artwork is available for purchase directly from the artist.  As pieces sell, new work goes up. So always take a look around for new artwork when you visit the cafe.
