To inspire creativity and foster connections through the appreciation of arts.
The Arts & Crafts Center is home to the Frame Shop, Engraving Shop, Auto Hobby Shop, and multi-crafts art studio. We can meet your squadron needs for trophies, plaques, retirement gifts, embroidery guidons, and more. Located within McBride Commons, our studio is a place where all are welcome to release their creativity. If you're more of a car enthusiast, our Auto Hobby Shop gives you the freedom to improve your vehicle with the help of an experienced staff member. Whether it's participating in one of our instructional classes or giving our pottery wheel a spin, our creatives leave feeling just a little bit more inspired than when they came in.
