"Let’s head north on Broadway or Central from downtown – there are loads of artist spaces and galleries around, you just have to know where to look! Stop at Emory Place to peruse Lilienthal (before or after grabbing a beer at one of the nearby Ale Trail breweries like Crafty Bastard!). Lilienthal Gallery is a conceptual space with avant-garde artists from around the world. Their exhibitions completely transform the gallery, and no two are alike! “Expect the unexpected” would be good advice here, where various mediums from oil to collage to sculpture make the space come alive.
Just around the corner across Broadway behind Remedy Coffee on Tyson you’ll find the Artisan Woodworking & Design Gallery. There is an expansive workshop in the rear of this building with a gallery in the front, where their own work is displayed alongside local and regional artists representing various mediums including wood/mixed media art, paintings, pottery, glasswork, mosaics, fiber, photography, and more. Their First Friday events often feature Maker demonstrations, so you’ll want to add them to your route!"
