“avolio is primarily a teaching facility. They do have a small shop with completed artworks for sale, which was very nice. But I was very impressed with the teaching program they offer. I'm hoping I get back to Kalamazoo sometime in the next year so to take advantage of some refresher instruction and studio time.”
“Such a neat place. Artwork is produced by the students that are enrolled there. It's almost magical there is a lot to see and choose from. The best part you are greeted by the happiest, sweetest people. Highly recommend”
“Such a cute store! With lots of very unique items and lovely things you won't find elsewhere. They had the store front painted and it's beautiful! I only bought one thing as we'll be traveling, but I'll be back.”
“Kalamazoo is a great place for artists to live and work with the fantastic and unique support from the Arts Council of Great Kalamazoo! Opportunities abound for exhibiting through their Art Hop program, and several grants are offered each year. These kinds of opportunities are rare! I have been a recipient of many of the benefits available and whole heartedly appreciate all that the Arts Council has done to support and promote the arts community-wide and individually.”
“This store makes me happy. When my sister comes from Columbus, OH. we always stop in to explore. Local art by local people and many other fun things. Make sure you find the fairy door and leave some words in the journal or a trinket for the fairies.”
