Where are the workshops?
The Thomas Center
302 NE 6th Avenue
Map
Gainesville's cultural center is a beautifully restored Mediterranean Revival-style building listed on the National Register of Historic Places, containing art galleries, period rooms, local history exhibits, performance space, and meeting rooms. Our thanks to the City of Gainesville for use of this space.
The Creek
Cross Creek, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings' home, will be open especially for members of our workshop. From the restored citrus grove and barn, to the farmhouse with floor-to-ceiling French doors, to the replica of an old outhouse with it’s screen door and "signal flag" (to warn those approaching if the outhouse is occupied), you’ll be charmed by this journey back to the days when Ms. Rawlings lived, wrote, and entertained.
