Mystic arts center is a great local asset. Well-curated shows and great classes for kids and adults. Well done social events and fund raisers.

This is a large venue, well-situated along the banks of the river with parking in front. Well worth a visit, as you stroll about this otherwise very gift-oriented shopping district.

We visited this place. They have paintings, photographs etc displayed. Some of them are for sale. Many of these display are by the local artist displaying local scenes. We enjoyed it very much

It was a treat to visit this gallery filled with various art forms. Quiet and no pressure. Just a chance to view the local artists. great and easy parking too!

We were actually there for a wedding reception but we really enjoyed the displays of art. It is a smaller venue but the art and photography was high caliber. I am not sure if there is an admission fee but it is a nice center.

It's a beautiful place to come in and appreciate some amazing art work, no pushy gallery girls trying to get you to buy art or acting snooty because they think only they get the art. And even if you are clearly just a tourist in shirts and a t-shirt you aren't looked down on by the well dressed attendant who is always happy to chat about art or recommend a nice place for lunch!

We were wandering through Mystic when we came upon the Arts Center and decided to see what was inside. We didn't know what to expect, as there was a kids' art class being held on the lawn, but inside was a small art museum that had a donation box instead of an entrance fee. We wandered about for quite a while studying the impressive, if not huge, array of art. This is a 100-year old artist's colony, and one can really get the feel of how the town grew up around it. An excellent visit and a nice break from our hectic day.

Charming center with a wide variety of art open to the public for free. Current exhibit celebrating the history of the center.

Mystic CT doesn't have that much to do - if you have a quiet moment you'd do well to stop in here. The art is "real" meaning it isn't a lot of big name junk. Much of it is beautiful and harmonious. The executive director has a mustache like Salvador Dali, and in my opinion he merits it. He literally digs into thousands of pieces to find the best, and several promising artists and younger (or newer, I should say) artists are on display there. The setting is serene and contemplative, and even if you have only 15 minutes you can find some art that will bring joy to your day.

Wonderful regional juried art shows and home of the Mystic Arts Cafe on about 4 Fridays per year with poetry and music of National reknown. the Mystic Art Association is a regional focal point

The MAC is a great place to go and view the permanent collection and whatever else is showing. I have taken one night craft classes called Artini as you receive a great martini and interesting art class for about $15. It's a fun night out in a welcoming place.

Last weekend we were in Mystic and took a walk through the Art Center and thought it to be a very nice gallery. The exhibit had a large variety of works which made it interesting, definately work checking out !

The shops here had a very nice town-like atmosphere. Very cute shops that had a little something for everyone. For the very first time my husband purchased some items and I didnt, so that should say something!

On the "other" side of the river, check out the latest art show. There is always something interesting and worthwhile.

This is the second year my wife and I attended the Mystic Arts Center which has a permanent collection and a juried art show. The art is beautiful and affordable. It's becoming one of my favorite stopovers on my northern vacations.
