Community members can also learn new skills and meet like minded locals by joining a Phoenix art workshop. The Phoenix Gallery and Café is open Tuesday to Friday from 8am to 2pm. “There are monthly exhibitions, local fresh food with vegetarian and gluten free options and the cutest gallery shop,” said Alejandra Ramirez, Phoenix Gallery and Café.
