A landmark, pre-Civil War factory complex, the Garnerville Arts & Industrial Center is a former textile mill that now houses light industry, wholesale distributors and artists and artisans. According to the site: “This mix of tenants has led to the development of a flourishing and vital industrial and arts community. The company has supported the influx of artists and artisans through the creation of artist studio spaces and the designation of two spaces as galleries for annual open studio/art expo weekends and other arts-related exhibits and events.”
