Each studio and shop at reflects the creative pulse of the County, blending craft, design, and story inside spaces that once trained airmen and now support makers.

B31 District Art Walk

Discover a curated outdoor exhibition featuring contemporary sculptures by Canadian artists, set throughout the historic grounds of Base31. Developed in collaboration with Oeno Gallery, the Base31 Art Walk brings together works on loan alongside sculptures from Base31's permanent collection, creating a dynamic outdoor gallery that evolves with the site itself.

Many of the artists and retailers here work on-site, making the District part studio, part storefront. That means you’re not just buying something beautiful, you’re stepping into the process behind it.

MELT STUDIO + GALLERY

A creative space within the District dedicated to contemporary work and craft, the gallery showcases rotating exhibitions and features work by artists and makers connected to the region and beyond. Step inside to explore what’s currently on view and discover pieces that reflect the creative energy of the site.

The Arts Collective

The Arts Collective at Building 3 (B3) is a vibrant, multi-use creative hub at Base31, designed to showcase local and visiting artists, and cultural programming. The space serves as a central gathering point for exhibitions, and community engagement throughout the season.
