The Artist Bloc, “Where Creative Minds Meet”, is a fine arts gallery, coffeehouse and retail art supply store.  They strive to cultivate an environment that serves as a place for the arts community to gather, work, and socialize.  In addition to the retail component, they host several events including film screenings, children’s art classes, poetry readings, live performances and a weekly event they call “Paint N Sipp”, in which a professional artist guides the guest in creating an unique painting while indulging in their collection of wines.
