We’re loving the expanded hours 🎨

ARTifact has new hours!! Now that we have been open for a few weeks we are noticing some trends - especially that Friday and Saturday people are wanting a little more time to paint in the evenings. Starting the week of 9/29, we will be open Fridays until 8pm and Saturdays until 7pm!

Weekdays we will now be opening a little later at 12pm. If you have an upcoming reservation prior to 12pm, we will honor that time.

Do you have a large group looking to do a before or after hours event? Give us a call or text at 507-351-3111 to chat about our options ☎️
