Five years of The ArtRoom ❤️

What an incredible night celebrating this little community we love so much. Thank you to everyone who came out for our 5th birthday and First Friday celebration, and to everyone who has been part of the ArtRoom story along the way.

A very special thank you to Charles for starting The ArtRoom five years ago and creating a space where artists could make, share, connect, and grow.

And thank you to our community. For buying the gifts that brought someone joy. For hanging local art on your walls. For showing up to First Fridays and events. For taking classes, bringing friends, cheering on artists, and supporting us in all the big and little ways.

Every purchase, every conversation, every visit, every kind word...it all matters. We are so grateful.

We asked everyone at the party:

“What do you love most about the ArtRoom?”

Now we want to hear from you ❤️

Maybe it’s the art.
Maybe it’s the people.
Maybe it’s the history of the building.
Maybe it’s finding that perfect piece.
Maybe it’s simply having a place to wander in and feel inspired.

What do YOU love most about the ArtRoom?

Tell us in the comments. We’d love to hear it. 🎨✨

Here’s to five years, and to the wonderful journey that comes next.
