Art is all around us, but these three galleries surpass the rest. Moving up a spot from last year, 2 Roots Art & Wine Gallery (214 S. Barstow St., Eau Claire) takes the lead. Pour yourself a sample or a full glass of wine as you peruse art of all mediums. The galleries at the Pablo Center at the Confluence (128 Graham Ave., Eau Claire) remains a favorite. Come early before a show or stop during regular hours. Be sure to check out their annual Fabulous Florals and Fine Arts exhibit! Between browsing bookshelves for the perfect read, check out the rotating art gallery at the L.E. Phillips Memorial Public Library (400 Eau Claire St., Eau Claire). —Stephanie Nesja
