Raleigh Hidden Gem:

Artspace in downtown Raleigh is one of those hidden gems that locals love. It’s this old warehouse turned creative hub where artists actually work in open studios—you can watch them paint, sculpt, or design in real time. There’s always something cool happening, from new exhibits to hands-on workshops. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel connected to the local art scene, whether you’re just browsing or actually chatting with the artists. Definitely worth wandering into if you’re in the area.
