Where art meets science and history connects to what’s new
The Shop – which was built in 1930 and served several uses, including its most recent as an auto mechanic – is part of the Hydro building but offers a unique space that brings together water nonprofits and educational organizations under the same roof and is also home to seven artist studios where the public can watch artists at work.
