“What a space: An art gallery in an old train station! The Petaluma Arts Center team were amazing hosts for our little daughter's party. We wanted a creative environment and this more than hit the mark. Would recommend to anyone looking to create a unique and memorable experience! We left inspired to plan another event there...!” - JP Defaut
