Nowadays, Auburn is the perfect place to be for artists. This small community is a mingling of times where the 1800’s meet the 21st century. The only changes are the building facades and the paved streets and streetlights. It’s a painting waiting to happen for artists. Plus, the town of Auburn continually invests in the performing and visual arts.
