Wondering how you can enjoy unique experiences downtown? We are here to show you some of the experience based businesses located in our award winning downtown.

Our second stop is 4th Street Studios - an art cafe and Victorian greenhouse.In 2017, René and her husband bought the property on 4th street - transforming it from abandoned property on its last legs to an artist gallery and event space. Originally built in 1926, the Victorian Greenhouse and the original Laramie Flowers is a place René and David would like to share with the community. See before and after photos on the website.

We stopped on a rainy evening to experience all that 4th Street Studios has to offer. René was our gracious host and made us peach lavender spritzers, appetizers of fresh hummus with vegetables and charcuterie. We were able to pick our own craft which was Suminagashi paper marbling but she has many art projects to choose from and will help customize the perfect project for your group or just drop in with friends during open studio hours, grab an art kit and enjoy the greenhouse. See the online calendar for events and open studio dates.

René is an expert teacher and demonstrated how we can achieve paper marbling with ink and water. From there she let us loose and we created tons of pieces to take home with us. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening spending time together, being creative and experiencing the peaceful atmosphere in the greenhouse.

Don’t forget that you can purchase finished artwork, gifts and handmade items created in the studio, or grab an art kit designed and assembled at the studio by René and Science Loves Art, a nonprofit that René founded to bring art and science together through events, exhibits and community collaborations. Art kits and gifts are available on 4th Street Studios online shop with free shipping, wrapping and handmade cards available so share the love of Laramie with friends and family near and far.
