“We have three rooms for exhibits, a room for a gift shop and classroom space,” said Melodie Koher, LAA board president. The center will continue to offer classes for adults and children. “All artwork is for sale, so if you are looking for art for your home, come in.” The art work displayed, in various genre, is mostly from contemporary, local artists.

“We are excited. It is a very nice space and we are very excited to be back in Warsaw,” said Koher.
