After months of study, the Spurgeons building on South Main Street in Monmouth was selected to house artist studios and a retail shop to sell their work.

The choice was made by city representatives and members of ArtSpace, which is a non-profit arts development and consulting organization from Minneapolis.

The Spurgeons building has a limestone front and was built in 1940.

“It's really a great space. You walk in and you kind of go 'Wow, I can see this,'” said Susan Twomey, Director of the Buchanan Center for the Arts in Monmouth.
