The hallways of the buildings were lined with art and artists also had individual rooms or 'galleries". There was natural light and lots of people looking. It was actually quite busy, even at 2pm when it was too hot to be outside perusing the crafts booths. Some breweries and bars are nearby. They have foodie-type dining. One could make a whole day of it, but I think it is better to see the work a bit at a time. There is so much variety.
