The Muse was opened in 2003 with a mission to create an environment that stimulates creative inspiration and supports the community and the handmade revolution! Our carefully selected, ever changing inventory is 100% handmade with over half of the items being created locally! Monthly artist receptions, craft parties, and in-store demonstrations are designed to introduce our customers to well known and breakout artists, and to foster an appreciation for Handmade.
Giving back to our community is a top priority for us. The Muse collaborated with artist, Courtney Prahl to start Lend a Hand, an annual community wide charity art auction that has raised thousands each year for various charity organizations.
We are a four time winner of Niche’s Top Retailer of American Craft Award including Best In-Store Promotion and Community Outreach as well as being chosen among the Top 25 Top Retailers of American Craft in the US and Canada.
