chicken farm art center

We stopped in early on Wednesday. Although not many studios were open, we enjoyed walking around and looking at the art on display. I'd like to go back on and Saturday and enjoy the live music in the courtyard!

The Chicken Farm Art Center is one of a kind!! It's not only funky but has a lot of different arts to choose from & see. On the 1st Saturday of each month Roger & company put together quite a show of different artists from around the area showing off their wares! You have folks that work in metal, others in pottery, jewelry & the list goes on! Then throw in a few musical groups with guaitars & singing along with some good food from the silo restaurant there & call it fun times!! My husband & I have been to several 1st Saturdays & I've become one of the artists vendors there on several 1st Saturday's. Even as a vendor I have fun visiting with people who come by. They also have a B&B there with 5 rooms to chose from. The beds are comfortable & Jerry & Susan who run them are nice folks. They even have a kitchen there for your convince during your stay. If you can't make it for the 1st Saturday go by & visit with Roger & see his wonderful pottery of many colors. Also other artists maybe there at the studios painting, throwing a pot on the wheel or some other creative process. It's always fun to go by.!!!

I spent one night here while in town for business. The owners are lovely and saw to it that all my needs were met. I had a private tour of the shops, even though most were closed. The history of the center is very interesting and it is a fun place to stay. The kitchen is available to guests by key and very well stocked. There were some cats roaming around to add flavor, but they aren't allowed indoors. They were under construction while I was there, so I look forward to seeing the update. I stayed in the room that had been the grain mill. The TV was only visible from one side of the bed, so if that is important to you, pick another one. It's not fancy, but is has a lot of personality and history.

I stayed at the B and B located on the premises. It was very cold when I was visiting so there wasn't a lot of activity but it is an interesting place covering about 3 acres. Put it on your itinerary as you will find these artist studios worthy of a visit. I could easily see having a beer on the patio and listening to some live music on a summer's eve. I was lucky enough to have a look-see into the Ceramicist's studio and see a bit of his work. If I had the funds I would definitely order place settings.

very eclectic! always something new to look at and so much talent in one area. Haven't been here for a few years but it defiantly a place I need to visit more often.

The Chicken Farm has a significant history for arts in San Angelo and that's continued on to this day. Between the unique items offered by the vendors, the jam sessions and the eclectic mix of options, this is where to shop for something unique.We've been a number of times as well as just a couple of weeks ago and it was as good as it always is. It's one of the few shopping places that I really like to go since there's plenty of seating if you don't want to shop. However, I think the mix of vendors makes it a pretty cool place.We take as many visitors to San Angelo as we can and they always take home something unique.

Interesting place to visit. Local art colony. My daughter and I went while the boys played in the pool at the hotel.

For first time visitors its very enjoying with the array of items that are hand made there and to buy. Very interesting to see how things are done, more of a crafty place, but it also has food and drinks.

I have been here many times and am always amazed at the talent we have in our community. This is the perfect place to buy a unique gift or something for your home.

I look forward to going to The Art Center every time I go to San Angelo. The selection of crafts and on site created art is wonderful. I take an extra bag so I can bring home the goodies that I find on the airplane. First Saturdays for each month brings a fun day with lots of crafters and entertainment.

I attended the First Saturday as a vendor and made friends for life! A wide variety of offerings by fellow artists make it a great place to shop for holiday gifts in the Fall and year round.

I always look Forward to the shopping here ,and the People & the Entertainment was so Country,and very Hospitable...

Although it is costly, the Salt Restaurant at the Chicken Farm is absolutely worth every penny. I go here at least once a month for a dining experience. It is a classy place, with classy food. The head chef dresses like a teenage pot-smoker, which is strange, but he is an artist in the kitchen, so I overlook it.

This place is neat, and ecletic..And inexpensive. The Chicken Farm Art center has several indoor, outdoor artist. Some are residents. The chicken farm is old and really cool...the various artist have awesome displays including rock and stone art, beads, jewlery, pottery, glass ware, paintings..and much more. There is only a certain weekend where everyone is open and there is live music and food. They fire up the outdoor wood burning/oven and serve really good wood fired pizza . Guest can sit on the patii and listen to live music. There are several small rooms to choose from. The smaller rooms have a private shower, bath, and the kitchen is inbetween the rooms and has a microwave. There are various snacks, and games available to guest.The silo house inn also has a great restaurant for dinner service. Reservation only. price for dinner for two ranges between $75-150. I believe guest are allowed to bring their own wine..dinner menu posted daily on facebook. The Inn is located (in an actual silo) the one room available for overnight guest usually gets reserved in advance. prices range from $80-$165.

A really unique collection of shops. From mesquite creations, to original paintings, ceramic and pottery and even blacksmithing. If you have the chance, try and schedule for the first weekend of the month when guest artists are present, live music is playing and the place jumps.
