I took a terrific class at the Galena Center for the Arts. It's a nice facility, with a bright clean classroom on the lower level. The staff was helpful and friendly. The center is undergoing a significant remodel, and it should be positively beautiful when it's done!

Founded in 2013, the Galena Center for the Arts strives to make the arts accessible to the local rural area as well as showcase the best talent in the region in a professional art setting. Located at 971 Gear Street, off U.S. Highway 20, near Greenwood Cemetery, the center is open from 11 to 4 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It displays historical photographs of Galena and Jo Daviess County and features themed exhibits of solo artists from the surrounding region, works by artists from the local area and works by student artists. See oil paintings, watercolors, sculpture, pottery and prints. Among the artists whose work is displayed on a regular basis are John Martinson, who operates the nearby West Street Sculpture Park, photographer Alfred Mueller, Barbara Baird, Beth Bird, Gerit Grimm, Joan Grippo, Mark Skudlarek, Richard Pearce, Rick Hintze and Richard Moninski. Galena is emerging as a popular and productive art colony a la Taos and Santa Fe in New Mexico with many galleries displaying artwork from many artists living in the Galena area.

A great play and location is good. Chairs are a bit uncomfortable when sitting for an hour or more.
