Wheeling Heritage’s Artisan Center Shop Expanding with Second Location at Oglebay
WHEELING, W.Va. – Aug. 6, 2021 – The Wheeling Artisan Center Shop, operated by Wheeling Heritage, will open its second location at Oglebay on Monday, August 9. Located at 83 Mansion Drive inside the Carriage House Glass Museum, the store will feature unique, handcrafted artwork and products made by local artisans.
The Artisan Shop’s flagship store is located on the second floor of the Wheeling Artisan Center and has served as a home for creativity and innovation for over two decades by providing a local platform for artists to sell their goods. With a second location at Oglebay, visitors at the resort will have a chance to take a piece of Wheeling home with them.
The shop will offer a curated selection of apparel, art, glass and more, in a variety of price ranges. Given its location in the Carriage House, glass and ceramics are expected to be popular among shoppers. The Artisan Shop will offer such products from Blenko Glass Company, Aaron Anslow, Ron Hinkle Glass, Lambros Pottery and several others.
“The Artisan Center Shop has been a great asset for Wheeling as a space to showcase the region’s makers,” said Walker Holloway, Chair of the Wheeling Heritage Board of Directors. “We’re excited to partner with Oglebay to expand the reach of the shop to both residents and tourists.”
“The Carriage House is a center attraction in The Hilltop area of Oglebay Park, and the addition of The Artisan Center Shop will showcase the talents of West Virginia artisans to our park patrons and resort guests. Our goal has been to reimagine this space with local products that will create memories for those that shop with us. We welcome the team from Wheeling Heritage as our first partner in this space, and we look forward to expanding the offerings throughout the year,” said Oglebay’s President and CEO Bob Peckenpaugh.
The Artisan Shop at Oglebay will be open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. beginning Monday, Aug. 9. Shopping can also be done 24-hours a day online at artisancenter.com.
