The Painted Turtle Studio has a mission to cultivate and provide a safe and inspiring space for people of all ages and walks of life to explore the world of art and their inherent creativity, curiosity, and playfulness.

Committed to making art available to people across the spectrum of artistic skill levels, they offer a variety of ongoing classes and workshops, a Paint-Your-Own ceramic studio, Clay Co-Op Memberships, an art store, an ethnic arts and crafts boutique and gallery exhibitions that include the works of local artists and studio members.

Mt. Lookout Grange improves the economic well-being, social connectedness, and quality of life for agricultural producers and all in our rural community.
