The goal of the Arts Center is to "engage people in a creative experience" and it delivers. It's…read morefun to stop in at times to browse their exhibits which includes a faculty student gallery, the Wallace and Foyer galleries, as well as a main gallery. The best part is they are free and open to the public. They offer a range of classes for different age groups such as creative writing, performing arts, culinary arts, digital arts, studio art, crafts, dance, and more. I found out that the last Friday of every month being Troy Night Out, makes a great night out exploring arts and culture. The exhibits are open during the day and seem to draw me in after brunch in Troy. I find them pretty unique and definitely one of a kind. I'm hoping to take some classes in the near future such as sculpting with clay or a few of the culinary classes. Overall a simple and neat arts center with plenty of activities for art and culture seekers.

Definitely stop by you won't be sorry.

Many huge pieces that really grab your attention as well as some very cool smaller pieces that are much more subtle.

There are many nice geocaches hidden all over the property as well and hunting them will provide you with a fantastic tour of both the artwork and the beautiful natural suroundings. Well worth your time to come check it out.

This past summer I had the opportunity to take a writing workshop with Gabrielle Danchick and Alice Smith Duncan. The workshop leaders spent six full days looking at book outlines for three separate genres: Middle school fiction, historical novel, and memoir. A very practical, hands-on approach, with time built in for writing and critique, made this an exceptional experience. In the setting of the SAW environment, we were able to choose different venues to read aloud, make suggestions, and work as a group or individually. I highly recommend this workshop for anyone striving to write prose and complete a published work. Food, coffee, tea, and other offerings are healthy and plentiful. Lodging available on site or in area establishments. Fee of $50/day was very resonable for the amount of attention I got for my writing project.
