NANU Gallery

A genuinely contemporary gallery in Old Fort with quarterly shows, a locally-made art store and a shared clay studio, led by artist-designer Katie McWeeney. It's a real step up from the usual mountain-town craft, and a good reason to see Old Fort's revival. Open Thursday through Saturday.

Lexington Glassworks Locals’ pick

A working glassblowing studio on the South Slope where you can watch pieces get made right in front of you, furnace roar and all. Grab a beer, pull up a bench, and stay for the live blowing.
