Great date night for my wife and two of our friends! Last time I tried art I was in elementary…read moreschool.

So much fun! I went here with my family (husband, sister, cousin and her husband) on a rainy Friday…read morenight at 9:30 and we had such a great time! I've never done a 'paint and wine' thing before, but I had a blast! Canvas on Broadway supplies the necessary paint tools, paint, canvas, easel, aprons, and an instructor to create the themed painting. Beer and wine are available for what I'd consider reasonable prices. The music mix was a total great--the genre varied and everyone was having a good time. I started to follow along, but then went off and painted my own thing, and the instructor was encouraging and kind about it. Another woman would walk around and pick up dirty brushes out of the water jar and drop off fresh brushes. Both were very friendly, so service gets an A! The venue itself is fantastic. Big, open space, plenty of places to sit and hang your personal belongings, good elbow room, all around really great. I even noticed there's a sectioned off private area that will seat a decent sized party for a private event, which was pretty cool! If you ever want to venture out and try one of these "paint and wine" places, The Canvas on Broadway was a great first!

This is a really cool building which houses artists studios. It also opens to the public…read morefrequently to have receptions and showcase its artists' work. The building is somewhat industrial-looking, like a warehouse/small factory converted into art studios. The mastermind behind this conversion, a thin, charming gray-haired man with glasses (I can't remember his name!) is an artist himself and crafted the enormous sliding doors to each artist's studio. Each door is custom, unique and impressive. It utilizes ordinary and construction materials in sort of a flat, yet dimensional sculpture. The lighting is professional. The building's exterior has few opaque walls, and uses tinted windows from floor to ceiling in most cases. The artists featured here are all either aspiring or actual professional artists. I find most of them to be very talented. The famous MIssouri water-colorist Paul Jackson maintains a space here. Come here on a weekend during the art crawls, or artrageous friday's or whenever this place opens its doors. There's usually free wine and cheese and you can talk to the artists (and maybe buy their work!).

This guy was a joke. I heard he was good at his craft, but that must have been many moons ago. I…read moretook some beloved antique furniture pieces to him for repair. Not only does he NOT do any work, he leaves that work to a couple of back end guys who, after receiving my pieces back, not only lack the attention and detail to the repairs, but the repairs were simply shoddy and hurried with no care given to the furniture at all. One piece that they were supposed to reconstruct and stabilize came back to me with the side coming off the dresser, literally, they did not do the work I paid for. They loaded the piece before I could inspect it, but I trusted them. Never again. And on the day I picked up the furniture, I ENTRUSTED JIM with an original 1880 oak spindle from my front staircase to have it turned and duplicated. The guy LOST IT!!!!! HE LOST IT!!! But was he upfront to let me know this??? NO! He dodged my calls, went hunting, gave me excuses and then when I became irate in like my 8th call over a three month period, he states that he gave it to this guy up the road that is 94 years old to turn for me. WHAT???? So, again, he doesn't do any of this work, he either lets his cronies in a back building do it or he hands it off to the elusive "94 year old up the road" who he admitted "forgets where he puts things". OMG. What a horrid experience all around. So now my beautiful 1880 staircase that was only missing one spindle, is not missing two. And this guy just shuns his responsibility and accountability. As far as his antique shop, I can't say either way. I'm only reviewing his furniture repair. Steer clear.
