The Park Trades Center...one of my favorite hidden spots in Kalamazoo. You may have gone past this building a million times and never noticed it. It is right in downtown Kalamazoo, on Kalamazoo Street and Park (just past McDonalds). This old building has been revamped inside and taken over by local artists. It is a maze of stairwells and creative studios that you have to visit during Art Hop. (Next one is January 6th) There are artists that do metal work, glass, paper, painting, jewelry, pottery and everything else you can imagine. It is free and makes for a good night out!
