Ruth West was a patron of the arts purchasing from famous artists as well as the up and coming. View several floors in a beautiful setting. Educational programs are also available. That have a special yearly exhibit, including community members as designers of table settings to match with a piece of artwork. 2024 is the 50th anniversary of a tradition started by Ruth West with the display up until the end of October.
