Octagon Center for the Arts Reviews

I am so thankful for the Octagon and the incredible people who work there! The employees and volunteers are so dedicated and genuine! Keep up the good work!

Bought some pieces when on a recent trip and enjoyed the studio. I bought a couple of pieces from artist in Payson, AZ which is close to my home. I would return and obtain another piece if I lived close and one day that may happen... thanks again for the art pieces!

Nice place! Great place to have graduation parties. Great location and easy to access!

I loved the class my daughter and I took. It was very informative and fun!

The Octagon offers visitors the opportunity to purchase art and support local artistry. From vases to paintings to glasswork and woodwork, their gallery shop offers art using a large number of media and styles. Also, they have various creative programs and classes throughout the year for community members of all ages. So, wether you are looking for a special anniversary gift for your spouse, an inspiring work of art for your office, or to jump-start your own creativity, the Octagon provides everything you need!

I took my first ever ballet class there decades ago, and did a guitar solo recital as well. Love the Octagon...so glad you are still in operation. You will always have a special place in my heart!!

A great exhibition center/store/ public art space. This is a great location to admire and purchase artwork from local artists to take an art class. I took the pottery class and I can highly recommend it thanks to the enthusiastic instructor.

I work here. So I'm biased. But it's wonderful here, honest.

Neat little place! I really appreciate how they support local artists.

Something for everyone. Lots of artwork for sale and display.

View and purchase art here. Wonderfull indie artist supporter.

Beautiful artwork, a variety of mediums, easy to locate

The Octagon has great programs and is worth a visit if you can arrive before closing. Gallery layouts are varied and flow well. Look a little closer and you will also appreciate the maintained beauty of an older building in downtown Ames.

The best gallery I've ever been to and Terry is just amazing, the sound exhibition is really interesting
