Welcome!
We believe we are all called to be creative. We want to spread joy by providing a space where visitors can come, and enjoy positive, uplifting art created by local and regional artists of all ages and renew their own creativity.
Our hope is that after guests experience The Joy & Whimsy Depot, they will spread joy and kindness in the world.
The Joy & Whimsy Depot is a non-profit entity that is free to the public (donations graciously accepted). While we are Christians, and the Depot is housed in a church building, we welcome people of all faiths.
Joyfully,
Dave & Jane Wickham
