The Rocket City’s own Lowe Mill is the largest privately owned arts facility in the United States, and the Huntsville Museum of Art hosts rotating exhibits from world-renowned artists.

There are beautiful masterpieces everywhere you look, but where can the Average Joe or Jane go to scratch that creative itch? I searched the streets of Huntsville to find the best places for you to create a masterpiece of your own.

Whether you are looking for a fun night out, a new hobby, or a way to hone your craft, a great place to start is with this list.
