Madison Arts Exchange/MAD Arts — Local services in Orange

It’s rare that I’m as delighted with what I find when I walk into a new shop as I was walking into this one. Honestly, the outside is extremely unassuming - we very nearly kept on driving, and weren’t even sure it was open. Once we took the plunge, however, we found ourselves in a kind of wonderland. Quirky, kookie, a bit whimsical and a tad wild - there were books, bracelets, notecards, knickknacks, paintings, prints, teas and towels and all sorts of fun items. With a strong emphasis on local artistry, this place delights the eyes, lifts the spirit, and expands the soul. The lady working there was kind, bright-spirited, and genial - an excellent fit for the atmosphere of the place. Suffice it to say, I’m not from the area, but if we are passing anywhere with 100 miles of this place, I will consider a detour to stop by to be a very worthwhile consideration! Just...

Love this place. Great place to find one of a kind hand made gifts or treat for yourself. Staff is friendly and helpful . All merchandise is local artist and in some cases you can make special request. They offer fun class the paint parties are good for a group of friends to do. They carry some local fresh meats and honey. You can't go wrong...

Interesting and eclectic offerings from local artisans including pottery, felted creations, paintings, sculpture, jewelry, and so much more. Add in some local treats and art classes, and you will see why Mad Arts is a treasure.

be sure to look in all of the rooms to find...
