What is Hudson really, without a place like this?! We were tipped off about it by a local shortly…read moreafter we moved here and are grateful to be members of this incredible community. What a miracle this place is, really. Fascinating, meaningful programming and events. I find myself thinking that there might not be another place quite like this anywhere on the planet; it truly deserves the word "unique". We love to browse the art gallery before or after a show and, embarrassingly, have yet to check out the bookstore. Sure, some of the seating isn't plush but there's couch type seating and if you're a movie lover who focuses on more than your hiney, there's plenty to love. Don't just go, join and support this treasure of an institution. My only gripe, which may not be real, is that someone told me there was a swing dance event here and I didn't hear about it.

This review is limited to the used book store that TSL operates - in short, it's among the very…read morebest used book stores I have a visited in quite some time, and that's really saying something. They have an extensive number and wide range of books, including art books, most in very good or better condition. The organization is largely by subject (and even then, assignment to a particular subject area seems somewhat whimsical), but within categories, they are not well sorted - so it does take some time to browse. Pricing is a very modest flat fee, given the condition and rarity of some titles (currently $4 per hardcover, $3 per paperback). Thus it's possible to find many titles, including first editions, well under typical pricing found elsewhere. The staff people are really nice. When bagging up my purchase, one of the larger tomes ripped the paper bag slightly, so the staff person got some gaffer's tape to repair the bad and prevent it from continuing to rip apart. Thank you, TSL!

I booked Cindy for a paint and sip for my best friend's bachelorette party. We rented an Airbnb…read morehouse near Woodstock, and Cindy came and did an in house party. Cindy was such a professional, patient teacher. She made the class fun but I still feel like I learned something. It was so relaxing! All the girls afterward couldn't stop talking about how fun the class was and what a great experience we had. It was such a fun opportunity to bond. Plus, Cindy's prices are a steal for the quality of the service. I can't recommend this business enough. I would gladly hire her again if the occasion ever arises. Thank you for a wonderful time, Cindy. We will certainly treasure this memory!

I've been hunting for the perfect piece of art for my Manhattan apartment -- you know, something…read morechic, sophisticated, worthy. I was walking along Church St. in Lenox, and decided to check out this so-called "gallery" -- Sohn Fine Art. I stroll in with high hopes, and honey... big mistake. Stay FAR away from this sad little wannabe "gallery." The owner, Cassandra Sohn, is out here acting like she's Norman Rockwell's long-lost twin -- please. She's not visionary; she's just delusional. Her attitude? Rude. Her so-called "art"? Tired. Dated. Like, if dust could be pretentious, this would be it. In my opinion, you're better off buying in the art section of Five Below.....

***** WARNING ARTISTS *****…read more I entered a fee-based competition for possible inclusion in a Soon Gallery exhibition. Instead of adhering to the acceptance/denial notification date she originally stated in the specifications, the gallery director switched to a Hollywood style maneuver and told me I was, "shortlisted", with a NEW notification date a month away, thus rendering my artworks in limbo and unavailable for exhibition elsewhere. I contacted Ms. Soon and demanded a refund. After her sad attempt at convincing me that by having shortlisted several of my pieces she had indeed fulfilled her obligation of timely notification, I contacted my credit card company. Bank of America has no tolerance for this type of manipulation of terms and upon their investigation granted my full refund.
