At usual food truck events there is many trucks(10?) with great selection. These music tickets(15-25$ per ticket) we attended recently and paid $60 for a table. Only 2 trucks there- selling either waffles or hotdogs!! What a total disappointment! Music acoustics were also poor. There was also a roving drunk attendee not wearing a mask arguing with people who were trying to hear music, not cool and staff was not to be found and didn't do anything. Trash barrels overflowing as well! Waste of money and night!

It was a good time. It was a little stressful because it was our first time coming. The person that…read moreexplained what to do was nice, but it was still a little confusing. It was fun to paint. The only thing is they stuck us in a corner with other people's painted pottery so it felt like they were just throwing us somewhere. My biggest issue was the fact it was $60 for 2 mugs that we painted ourselves. I understand they have to bake it. But $60 for 2 mugs really just feels extremely steep. I could see $40-$45 at the most. Especially since I picked the most basic standard coffee mug. The dinosaur mug I can see being a little bit more because it's not just a standard mug. The paints were also majority empty. I kept having to find one that wasn't empty.

Fun times at the Firehouse this past Friday evening taking in a Bit Players Improv show! The Bit…read morePlayers is a great evening activity, reasonably priced at $18 per ticket, BYOB and bring your own food, too. We got a box of Crab Rangoons from Ching Tao down the street, and sat in the first row nibbling away. The show is a fast paced 80 minute romp with no intermission. The troupe takes suggestions from the audience for the skits, and hilarity ensues. If you are celebrating a special occasion, they may even call you up from the audience for a personalized skit of your own! The Bit Players excel particularly in their song-prov sketches, I have been coming to these shows for years and the ability to make up verses on the fly never fails to impress. JT and Danny stole the show the night we went with their Shakespearean sketch about Chuck E Cheese.. still laughing over some of the great lines! I would recommend this night out to folks ages 14+, as the humor skews to a PG-13-ish range. That being said, if you're looking for a fun and different activity, the Bit Players is worth a visit!

Highly recommend this affordable and enjoyable hour+ of entertainment. Contrary to previously held…read morebelief that Improv would heighten my anxiety, I thoroughly enjoyed every second.

I have to compliment the people who curate/run the gallery for their bold approach to art in an area that is so damn conservative in approach. They got some balls, fer sure. This is better than most of what you'll find in Providence, and would fit in well in any hip, urban art area. The fact that it's in a beach community dominated by tourist schlock is amazing. And I didn't find the prices high at all - some of the work would easily be triple the price in Boston or NYC, so show some love to this place and the talented roster they've assembled. I am definitely a fan!

I had been here years before when some friends had showings here, but now its a bright, clean, professional studio! A great crowd, with an awesome DJ spinning old skool hip hop. Who doesnt love a little OPP while checkin' out some dope art!? The front is like a little gift shop, with books, t-shirts, wallets, etc. Being that it was the opening for this show, there was wine and ice cold PBRs ready for our consumption. I love me some art, dont get me wrong, but daaaaaamn, this stuff was pricey. We are Narragansett people, not NYC. Just sayin'. Over all, I was pumped to see so many young people out and about and being part of something that other people worked really hard for. Its nice to see that there's a solid art community down here that doesnt consist of just pictures of lighthouses (no offense to you lighthouse photogs!).

I cant say enough about AJ and Hammer and Stain in North Kingstown. We had the absolute best time…read moreat my daughter's 8th birthday 'art' party! AJ was amazing with the kids, guiding them through exciting art activities with so much patience and enthusiasm. She was able to keep a large party of 16 kids engaged even though the age group was a tad on the younger side. One of the coolest parts? AJ even took music requests! The kids got to rock out to Taylor Swift while they painted, crafted, and danced around--it added such a fun, lively vibe to the whole party . We also found out she has a Taylor Swift summer camp posted. The space was bright, colorful, and perfectly set up for little artists to let their imaginations run wild. There's even a Moms' night out option where you can bring your favorite cheese platter! Every child left with their own artwork and a huge smile on their face. It was the kind of party they'll be talking about for weeks. If you're looking for something creative, engaging, and truly joyful for your child's next celebration, we can't recommend AJ at Hammer Stain in North Kingstown enough!

Great for kids, girls (or guys) night out, or even a team building event!
