It's the easiest way to enjoy the evening, without driving around and looking for a parking space in town. Start at the High School and have a good time, take the shuttle to see the rest of Jerome, have dinner, a wine-tasting, visit the galleries, and then take the Shuttle back to wrap up your night at the Old Jerome High School. The choice is yours! It's the most convenient and stress-free way to experience your time in Jerome.

WE ARE OPEN!

Taking the necessary COVID-19 Precautions, we are open to the public with social-distancing of 6-feet from one another. Please check with our artists in advance to see if they are open before arriving at the Old Jerome High School.
