Aria Studio Gallery, located one block east of the fountain on Main Street, is run by Joan Archer. The gallery displays Archer's work, which can be viewed during business hours. Patrons can also arrange for private showings with Archer as well. In addition to displaying her work, Archer teaches classes at the gallery Tuesday through Saturday. Her experience includes teaching in Italy in 2007. Archer specializes in watercolor, acrylic and oil.
The idea for Aria came from the concept of having a gallery with studio space, which would allow the artist to create as well as have an open door to the public, which can enjoy watching the creation process.
