Opportunities to Learn

Art 'N Oddities strives to be one of the most unusual studios you will find.  The studio was once a showroom for an Appliance store and still sports the Whirlpool signs out front, but below those signs are fun string art paintings.  Inside you find whimsy and color to feast your eyes and spirit. The no threat environment is great for creativity.
