ART FOR ART'S SAKE!…read more This gallery is really a co-op for artists. It has five rooms and is currently hosting approximately sixteen artists. There works are varied and include paintings, jewelry, sculpture and other mediums. When I walked in, I was immediately drawn to a black and white portrait of a man in a cowboy hat. It was very interesting because the artist had captured the very character of his subject. As I am bent over, I hear a voice and when I look up I see the artist and the subject standing there. Crazy! I go back to the art because it just draws me in. As I am exploring the piece, I learn that the subject is an actor, voice over artist and a poet. He actually performs what he describes as "cowboy poetry" but says "you probably won't like it". Wow, what a salesman. Never assume! I wish that he had a sample of his poetry available because a CD of the poetry was paired with his portrait for sale. I just don't purchase material unless I am familiar with it and somehow feel a connection. I feel that this was a missed opportunity. However, I did take a business card to follow up on the cowboy poet and his specific type of poetry. It was nice to talk to some of the artists and to look at their work. This was a very unique space and I noticed that it also hosts wine tastings which for wine drinkers is a great way to enjoy art. Art and wine just pair together quite nicely. If you are interested in their special events, you can check their Facebook page. This was a nice gallery and a nice departure from the hustle and bustle of the Gold Rush activity. It would be a nice destination on your journey through Dahlonega.

I've been every year since 2014 and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Enjoy some of the local food while stopping into the booths to find one of a kind trinkets or maybe some larger like a painting or custom knife. The selection and quality of things offered here is top notch.

For the price $9/adult, it was mostly worth a short stop on our trip. The small butterfly…read moregreenhouse had far fewer butterflies than I expected to see and just took a few minutes to circle. There's a pleasant nature walk and lovely unkempt gardens overflowing with native and tropical flowers for the local bees and butterflies. There are two bee hives on the property. The monarch butterflies we saw were outside in the garden, so don't skip the outside portion. They have a small plant sale with a lot of cuttings. If you need a place for a toddler to run around on a car trip, this would be a good place to stop.
