There was 80s music videos playing for us and our stations were all set up and good to go. She walked us through the steps and let us be creative, but we were happy to know that she was there with us watching as we worked. We needed a little hand holding at first, but she gave us confidence that we could get our piece finished and helped touch up our mistakes. We are proud of the art we made.

The Ballroom Dance center, I am sad to say, has poor business practices. It is why I left for…read moreanother studio. I also found my teacher to be abusive in the methods employed. There is more of an interest in getting money from clients versus anything else. Any dance studio will have professionals who can teach dance but this is not the place to go if you value diversity among human beings. It's not the place to go if people whispering and pointing at you makes you feel unsettled. It's not the place to go where after asking for over a month for a new contract, the person in charge ignores you and pretends their phone isn't working properly, though no such glitches occured during hurricane Helene. You can certainly learn to dance but at what cost, I had to ultimately ask myself? I left for another studio. My dance life has flourished and it is the absolute best decision I made concerning my dance life!. Good luck to you

I joined AIKEN SENIOR LIFE hoping to find a SOCIAL outlet 10 YEARS LIVING DOWN SOUTH WHEN I WALKED INTO AIKEN SENIOR LIFE, I THOUGHT I FOUND MY "NICHE" I LOVED IT THERE. my home situation is not good. This forced me to cancel most of the groups that I had signed up for and I only attended to groups consistently. my safety was at risk due to criminal neighbors. This lead to a misunderstanding with a group leader over a text message. Group leader, kathryn isaac refused to accept my apology. most recently attended a BUS TRIP with AIKEN SENIOR LIFE to AIKEN MUSEUMS. of the free museums I went to. I only had a problem in one museum I do not feel I was treated properly by the Director/ tour leader in this museum. two days after this trip on Friday afternoon after 4 PM, I received a call from Aimee Hanna Executive Director at Aiken Senior Life Services. prior to her calling, I didn't know who the Director was Ms. Hanna proceeded to yell at me about the museum incident. I was not allowed to speak. I tried to tell her that I have Asperger syndrome she would not allow me to get a word in edgewise. I was then told I AM PERMANENTLY BANNED FROM AIKEN SENIOR LIFE Ms. Hanna spoke of the incident at the museum; did not mention the misunderstanding regarding the text message she then LIED -- saying that "you have been a problem in every single group that you attended; have been disruptive, and I have received multiple complaints" THIS STATEMENT IS 1000% FALSE! I only attended two groups consistently throughout never had a problem in any of the groups, the group members and the group leaders excepted me fully. The only problem was the misunderstanding of the text message and I did apologize. However, she would not accept my apology and the problem at the museum. Combined this would not warrant being PERMANENTLY BEING BANNED FROM AIKEN SENIOR LIFE My limitations and differences as an adult with Asperger syndrome are no more severe or different than other seniors, who attend that have dementia or Alzheimer's disease Ms. Issac used my text message for purposes of which it was not intended. This led to the misunderstanding. She refused to accept my apology. All groups at AIKEN SENIOR LIFE are led by volunteers. Ms. Issac is one of the few professional volunteers. She is a retired RN. It would be detrimental to AIKEN SENIOR LIFE to lose a professional volunteer such as Ms. Issac, but I AM DISPENSABLE The decision by Ms. Hanna was prejudicial and discriminatory. I was never allowed to even try to explain anything. She was screaming at me throughout the call that she made to me. given that Ms. Hanna has absolutely no flexibility with an adult with Asperger syndrome that has limitations, it calls into question her flexibility and patience with seniors with Alzheimer's and other dementia's

Is it in this building? Yes, despite the "Office Building Parking Only" signs, the Morris Museum of…read moreArt is on the second floor of this otherwise boring office building in downtown Augusta. I don't know about parking. Mrs. K. and I found ourselves lingering longest in the glass gallery, where the craftsmanship becomes almost hypnotic the more you study it. Some pieces feel impossibly delicate, others bold and architectural, and tucked among them was the one name I recognized immediately, Dale Chihuly, whose museum we last wandered through in Seattle. Seeing his work here, in a completely different context, gave the whole collection a sense of continuity across regions and styles, almost like running into an old friend in a new city. Beyond the glass, the museum opens into a thoughtful survey of Southern art that moves easily from landscapes to portraits to sculpture and even furniture, each room offering a slightly different rhythm. The landscapes in particular have that quiet, atmospheric quality Augusta does so well, while the portraits feel intimate without being fussy. Sculptural pieces and period furnishings round things out, giving the galleries a sense of depth and texture rather than a single through‑line. It's the kind of museum where two hours pass without you noticing, and you walk out feeling like you've had a conversation with the region rather than just looked at objects on walls.

The Curated Palette experience Westobou was fantastic. I learned how curators select art and had the chance to curate my own art with food. The featured artist during my experience was aort1982 . You can find his recent work tacomadreoriginal . I enjoyed following the story he told through his art and learning how the curators chose to tell the story with the placement of the pieces. Group Recommendations: Book as a group or at the same time as space is limited for this experience. Solo Recommendations: Come to enjoy being with others but honestly I really enjoyed this as a solo excursion because I like admiring art in silence . #authenticaugusta#visitaugusta#csra #augusta,#georgia

The inside had Art exhibits that were a part of the Westobou Festival. The outside had a stage setup for a concert, a Ferris Wheel, and tons of games for kids and adults. The space is only occupied by the Festival for about a week. Other than that it is free for rental. Because it is located downtown off Telfair Street the parking situation is tricky. There is street parking and once that is all full, people get a bit creative. Overall, I like the venue. I'd visit again.
