The Calico
Inspired by artist’s lofts of yesteryear, this 6,800 square foot former warehouse with 18 foot ceilings, exposed wooden beams, enormous windows and whitewashed brick has been filled with art, artifacts and furnishings to convert a grand industrial room into a gracious gathering space.
Featuring Garner Historic District artists and artisans along with reclaimed and re-purposed furnishings, this venue celebrates the past, present and future of the communities that continue to reinvent it.
Located on the first floor, it is easily accessible to our collection of charming Outdoor Spaces– Brick Alley, Dye Works Square and the Creekside Sculpture Trail, which provide unique settings for every stage of your celebration.
