    This place has a nice variety of local artists on exhibit, which they change out from time to time. It is fairly small, and doesn’t take a lot of your time, but is worth seeing if you like a variety.....  more »

    Foothills Art Center was the perfect destination venue to host our 60 guest wedding on July 5, 2019. The exhibit on display and the flow of the entire reservation was perfect. We had our ceremony on their beautiful lawn, the cocktail hour was in the sculpture garden out front and we hosted the reception in the main hall indoors. The acoustics were excellent, and the venue is well air conditioned. Maura worked closely with each of our vendors to make sure they would fit with the venue comfortably. My now husband and I had one of our first dates at this gallery, and I’m so grateful will be able to go back and celebrate our wedding every time we visit! Love you Foothills Art Gallery!
