The space is really nice, restored but not overly so (floors still creaky, love that). It comes…read moreacross as sort of a hobby studio for the ultra rich. I've seen a lot of artist lofts/shared spaces like this and to be a working artist, it's just not feasible to afford space this nice. The art was pretty typical, loads of painters. Mostly landscapes and the such. Not much in the way of multimedia or 3D. Very little in the contemporary arts which is what we were looking for, I think this is a fair representation of Charlotte in general. Very safe art. The hunt continues for something a little more cutting edge.

Located in the right wing building of the Johnston YMCA, several former daycare classrooms were converted to accommodate artist studios.

Great Art Space! Went to their June Juried Show (opening and award ceremony) and saw some really…read morecool work. It was definitely a great mix of mediums from photography, to sculpture, to paintings, and mixed media. It was very interesting to meet some of the artists and see the work that won in their categories. It was also nice to see the camaraderie between the artists since the place really keeps to its "small town" roots and everyone was really familiar with each other and their works. They also offer classes and workshops along with studio space rental for artists and members. My one gripe is the lack of parking. There is a gravel lot out back, but if there is a first Friday or gallery opening, it's hard to find a space. The building they are in is very cool (renovated warehouse) and is right off the street - unfortunately the parking is meant for warehouse parking so they may remedy this in the future as they grow.

There were plenty of places to sit and enjoy. There was plenty of room for everyone to read without standing on top of one another. We spent a full half-hour in the final immersive room lying on a rug propping ourselves on plush pillows. We watched the entire 360 degree show. Hats off to the creators! The entire experience is a history lesson disguised as artwork. If you love history and/or art, you will love this experience! MOST SINCERELY

A nice experience but not worth the cost…read more While visiting one of my besties and her baby, she really wanted to check this Immersive experience of Van Gogh artwork. She's a huge fan, and use to do some kind of work at an art museum in Washington DC, so this place seemed up her alley. She graciously paid $90 for our tickets ($40/adult + taxes and fees), and was sorely disappointed. The old huge warehouse was renovated into a small showcase of Van Gogh art via a few tv monitors and interpreted art sculptures that represent Van Gogh's themes. The main event is the 30 min art instillation that projects on the walls, with strobe lighting and loud music..which is the immersive experience that you're essentially paying for. Of course, there's an overpriced gift shop area..with posters, t-shirts, and art jigsaw puzzles..and a mini bar with over priced snacks items. We were happy to support the culture..but this not truly worth the cost. Thankfully the restrooms were clean (but did not contain any changing tables..and auntie Nneka changed a poopy diaper!!). Also, there was air conditioning and welcoming staff members who were helpful and offered to take our pictures with any of the life sized sculptures. So, its a nice effort..but only if you trying to be supportive of the cause..otherwise..semi hard pass on this one.

Ask her about her custom art projects. It's fascinating...take a photo of your own in to her studio, and she can digitally turn it into a custom painting. It's an amazing process, and it's a great idea for a special gift for someone.
