Covington: Creative, Vibrant, Gracious. YOU make it so!


**GPS Alert! If you have not yet been to our Gallery, please note that we are on West Pike St in Covington. Two people in the last week looked for Pike St without the 'WEST" and were taken by their GPS to Ludlow/Bromley.

• West Pike in Covington is a street between 6th and 7th Streets when you're on Madison Ave (the original main throughway).
  
• Passionate Arts Center/Gallery 31 is just one-half block off Madison Ave, next to Klingenberg Hardware. (Burgundy awning, beautiful window boxes!) Turn onto W. Pike at the clock by Motch's Jewelry.
  
• Other West Pike galleries include Encore Design (2 w. pike, 2nd floor), Covington Clay (16 w. pike), The BLDG (30 w. pike) and Sandra Small Gallery (124 w. pike).
  

• If you come off I-71/75 on the 12th Street exit, go straight to Pike Street and then head east toward the downtown area, not up the hill. (We are east of the interstate, but 'west' of Madison.) Taking Pike from that point will bring you in to Duveneck's statue and the 7th & Washington St intersection.
• Just grab a parking spot and enter from the 7th Street door to Passionate Arts Center. On the Seventh Street side, we are right across from the Artisan Enterprise Center, which is at 25 W. 7th Street, and a great place to get a map and start 'hopping'.
• If you need directions, please call 859-393-8358 and we will talk you in!
