What brought me here was that it was the setting for a pie contest, hosted by Sweet Potato Comfort…read morePie. I was in the audience. I don't get to many art galleries. Wall to wall paintings. Many would be good for a child's room and would make a great gift. For a shower as well. They have such novelty paintings i.e. the history of jeans, Dad's rootbeer, Rod Serling from the Night Gallery days. I loved meeting Kelly and was in awe of this place. Another reason to come to the West Bank. It's on the block for the Wednesday weekly West End days with all the vendors.

Gorgeous, beautiful store. I adore this place. I will be coming back. Art heaven. I love the staff,…read morethey are so helpful and sweet and patient and willing to work with you for as long as you need. They have an awesome selection of art supplies, they had everything from homemade paper to fountain pens. This is a gem of a store and so welcoming. You can tell that the staff are artists. Prices fit the products well, but they are a bit high. Granted all good art supplies are expensive these days. I would love to work here if it wasn't in St Paul. I love this store and I absolutely recommend.

It spread to be small but once you go inside it's bigger than I expected and they have packed the store with goodies. Amazing collection of fountain pens and inks, regular pens and markers as well.

I have to be honest. Making art usually makes me uncomfortable. I am married to an artist, but…read morecreating art is not an area of strength for me. However, I came to Oya Arts with my Education Evolving team and I truly enjoyed making art thanks to Karen and the way she supported us and encouraged our creativity. It was probably my favorite team building event ever in along history of team building events. We created our art surrounded by her beautiful and inspiring works and in the presence of her incredible kindness. You will not find a better way to build team connection.

Articulture is a great community organization. I took an adult art class and the instructor was…read morefantastic. The main aspect of this particular class was advertised as centered on creativity as opposed to learning how to draw a vase which is a point I feel is important. Philosophically arts education is beyond just learning how to paint or draw etc. It is primarily about how to think creatively which nets life long benefits. For the class I took, I felt the value was great considering the caliber of instructor and the experience. The classroom was pure art class where you could see evidence of years of creativity in the tables. Overall I highly recommend checking Articulture out. They do programming for adults, kids, camps, groups etc.

Ok. A friend of a friend had a opening night photo exhibit here so I made this page, made a Yelp…read moreevent, all in the hopes of getting people to the show because the photos were that cool. And now a review of the space, because like the photos, this place is that cool and now, I have a better understanding of what it's all about, sort of. So the place has been open for about 5.5 months. A warm inviting storefront with the inside filled with local artist inspirations. Prices range from the Wow! That will look kick ass in my place (for the most frugal shopper) to Wow! That will look kick ass in my place! (for the person with some deep, pockets). Everything that's sold are one-of-a-kind pieces and are quite amazing. From paper mache' sculptures (definitely worth checking out) , New Zealand reclaimed wood tables, low temp fired ceramics, paintings with prices all over the spectrum and of course, photography and more. The cool thing though is that with the gallery owner, Nance, has space in the back which could be used for other events besides showings. Not big events, but smaller ones and obviously you would need to talk to her about what your trying to do but she came off as pretty cool and open to ideas. Nance has history of doing things in the city around the arts scene and if you've been to Macy's for their holiday display, you've seen her work. This part of West 7th (3-4 block area?) is really starting to pop and one could park in the middle and walk around, eat, drink, and shop their way to the different businesses and this place, is definitely worth a stop.

I went to my second ring stacking class on a Sunday at 11am. They were also holding a cookie decorating class too. Lola helped sign me in and did an excellent job teaching the class.

Excited to go back to make more jewelry!

We had such a fun class at Simply Creative…read more They offered DIY classes and we booked it last minute (like 2 hours before the class). They are very accommodating on the late notice. Taylor was our instructor, she's very patient and kind on repeating herself many times for us until we fully understand the process. They even helped me print out my own design. Oh they also offers yummy drinks. It was a very nice experience for us to be there, we enjoyed a nice 2-2.5 hours girls time together, chatting while working in our project. Highly recommended.
