    Our family has been visiting Wheaton Arts for many years! It's our favorite go to place in the…read moreFall! We have many glass pumpkins made there. Anytime we have out of town relatives visit, we take them there. It's so peaceful and also educational. Winter of 2026 was very bad this year and we noticed it has also taken a toll on their landscaping. With time, I'm sure it will be repaired. This place is worth an afternoon visit! Be sure to check their calendar for special events.

    Glass, yo, it's from Joy-zee!…read more This is a weird but cool arts campus in Millville, mainly about glass, but also housing a decent-size pottery guild, and a small building of textile/tribal arts. In addition to live glass blowing demonstrations, and special classes or make-and-take events for glass/pottery pieces, they have a glass museum with tons of history on glass in the USA. NJ had all the right conditions and materials (wood, sand, soda ash, and silica) for glass so it was the nation's main source of glass for a long period in US history. They make pottery and glass items on site that are sold in the store, and visitors can observe all of this being made. There is a long nature trail, a lake, historic schoolhouse, and various other interesting buildings on the campus. There are at least two stores, both with tons of glass and pottery/ceramic gift options, among other artistic mediums. There is finer art glass sculpture available too, in the gallery store. Wheaton offers a handful of free admission days every year (mostly in summer), including the Fire Muster, with a bunch of fire engines and firemen! They also host craft shows, holiday themed weekends, and other festival events. Live music and food trucks are normally part of any event day. It's a very fun place, and easily can take 2 hours to explore everything. My last visit I was there 3 hours and still didn't get to the nature trail. Nearby Vineland has many great food options, especially Puerto Rican.

    The first time I met Dennis Tawes was in the very beginning of this whole Arts District Project. He…read morewas the very first person to leave his old life behind him and step out on a limb and come to Millville to be a part of the Millville redevelopment project. I stopped in the first gallery he had (which was very traditional) and chatted with him for a while-- nice guy. But I figured that he had to be nuts to leave everything and come to a town like Millville to sell art. But I was wrong. Dennis Tawes has become known as Millville's pioneer artist, and he is, because he really did journey into the unknown when he came here. He's been here the longest and has the coolest art gallery/studio in Millville. Unless you make an appointment you can only see it on 3rd Fridays. I highly recommend you don't miss the gallery on Third Friday's, it's definitiely the wildest. There's crock pot with some grub, appetizers, wine, lots of comfy couches and hires INCREDIBLE musicians to provide ambiance. It's the kind of place you could just sit on a filthy couch in a wacky gallery and relax for hours and people watch. Great vibe. The gallery is the wildest hodgepodge of art and garbage I've ever seen. Dennis is a real artist through and through and is not constrained by conventional aesthetics. Follow the sounds of live blues, and when you find a store with a ratty moosehead in the window and a bunch of dirty hippies hanging around outside, you've reached your objective. (On 3rd Fridays there's no cover charge although he appreciates donations of course to cover the cost of the food & wine.)
