It was a GREAT way to spend a vacation day. No beverages or food and not a very walkable local, so know that.

Unfortunately, I do have to update my review. We bought an $100 gift card which they put a 6 month…read moreexpiration on in fine print (no fine print provided when you purchase the GC, only after it has been purchased). Was about to spend $500 when I was told my GC of less than a year was "expired" which is against Oregon and federal law. They are trying to get around GC laws by claiming it is studio credit but website clearly states "gift card." Overall very disappointing as we have spent $1000s at this studio and weren't finished with piercings or jewelry. Have even worked with them to design/specially order jewelry. Beyond that, tried to be calm and respectful but was obviously upset at them just taking $100 from us and the sales person was incredibly snotty and rude in response. While we enjoyed our piercings and they have good jewelry, we'll take our business elsewhere as Oregon, luckily, has lots of great studios.

In the past I have wanted to go inside but it is closed Mondays and Tuesdays. I was excited that this time (my second in 3 years) I would finally be able to visit the museum. I checked ahead of time to see what exhibits were on and hours, they were listed to change over a day or so after the last day of my visit. Open 10-4 Wednesday through Sunday, wonderful! Went for a cold and windy walk in the beach, changed clothes in my car and went to the museum. People inside, but doors locked. A woman came to the door and said that they were changing the exhibits and closed for the week, and that she had left the sign up stating that the center would be open Wednesday by accident as her "printer wasn't working". She let me walk as far as the front desk to see the wonderful are coming down and going up. Said she might let me go upstairs to see the other exhibits, but on second thought no, because not everything up there was "secured". Then she also explained that usually the Visual arts center was closed one week per month to change exhibits over. I suppose staffing might be tight, but I have never before known of a museum to close during regular business hours to change over an exhibit (not to mention advertising the old exhibit would be displayed for a couple more days after they were planning to take it down. The person in charge suggested I should come back another time. Maybe I will the next time. In a year or two. To sum up, the museum is open at random times, closed for a week or so once a month, call first because this is not mentioned in the web site. The art looks beautiful, and the museum has good lighting, from what I could see. Decent parking, at least in on a weekday.

Upstairs the display was just mind blowing, the sculptures, and the painting, I took a picture of it, was so amazing. The artist was there working on a new sculpture, an owl, it was beautiful. I found a print from another artist who had a small display downstairs, of something that really spoke to me that day, it was a very sad day, and this picture really helped me. The staff is just wonderful, they explain everything, and were amazing.

Technician took a week to come and then stated it was the intake valve and would need to be ordered. Another week went by and another week to schedule once it came in. Also had to hire a floor specialist to remove part of floor to get dishwasher out before he agreed to come back. Next trip he states the water shorted out the control board and that was the issue. I stated the control board was working before he came and was registering E24 and now it was not working at all. He stated he called tech support and that was what they said was the problem and they had control boards in stock and would schedule a return as soon as came in. That was 10 days ago (not heard a word) so called again and they left a message. I called Thermador and they walked me through a process, as now I notice control board stating E24 again so it could not be shorted out. I did as they instructed and dishwasher working on cycle... so far a month without a dishwasher and money wasted with nothing done
