Despite its modest size, this self-described “creative hub” for the local art community has regular gallery openings on the first Saturday of the month. Doors open at 7pm for shows that start at 8pm. ArtLab can fit about 65 people inside. Shows are free; donations gratefully accepted. Past events have included the “Assembly of Awesomeness,” a group show that featured 25 local artists. In addition to the openings, a blues band plays on Wednesday nights, a classical quartet on Friday nights.
