See tons of local artists in one spot and be prepared to spend money because the art is so outstanding that you will feel compelled to pick something up while visiting. Think of 30 artists and all their studios on three levels of an old torpedo factory and that's this location. It's awesome and as an artist I love to visit and see what the art world is up to in Alexandria. Summer hours after 11AM and before 5PM are the best times to visit. Make sure they are open before making the trip! Check their website for open dates or call ahead.
