If you like art, this is a pretty great place to spend your time. They have pieces that span the entire gamut of affordability, there are many different styles and techniques represented, and the artists staffing their booths are very friendly. In addition, there are some truly formal-gallery-worthy pieces on display. I've actually gone several times now just to kill time and enjoy myself. I very much recommend it.
We were under impressed after expecting a little too much. I expected more history and displays with the building being a munitions center. The art is great, and it's great to stroll by or into the store fronts. However, if you want to buy, it's expensive and there's not a lot of art under, say $300. There's also only 1 small place for food and refreshments. The location is excellent, right by the ferry boat docks, nice restaurants, and it's a great place to start a walk down King street.
I always find something new here. It's such a coil place with galleries interwoven with working studios. You could have a scavenger hunt in this one building and you'd spend the whole day trying to complete it. I hope it never goes away.
Such a unique part of Old Town Alexandria. Tons of unique art studios. There is a small restaurant inside well but it's always next door to several other restaurants on King St. Amazing to just walk around or to purchase all kinds of fine art. Sometimes you can even catch the some of the artists working on their craft.
Love this place! Historic torpedo factory-turned art studios. There is a cafe and three floors of studios to visit, plus an art school that offers a variety of classes. Check out the Second Thursday open studio event they do monthly!
