This non-profit gallery was opened to help the people of Bangladesh receive help and funding through the expression of art. The community has helped her keep this gallery a float by doing a total remodel of the place. They've broke down walls and made the place more open and suitable for the gallery. She has begun to hold art classes every Wednesday. The classes are open for many local artist to come bring their creativity and for those wanting to get a better understanding and introductory to art. The place still needs a little more work to be done to get to bring art awareness. Perhaps 3/5 stars as far as presentation. But I'm in full support of raising art for a cause. It will be good to get this organization with full attention. I feel fine arts now a days has been lost with having technology. This is great for our local artist who are struggling and can get some recognition. It's nice to have local artist in the area come together and have their work on display. The gallery is beautiful and can't wait to try one of the classes.

We were greeted by Kathy the owner along w/ her husband who does all of the woodwork. Such a sweet couple and so accommodating. We were allowed to bring snacks so we had a charcuterie board, cooler w/ drinks, and a birthday cake! We were the only people booked for this day which was perfect. I'm pretty sure we overstayed our welcome but Kathy and her husband were totally chill. We all had such a great time and loved that we were able to take our crafts with us. With the husband doing all the wood work, they accommodate custom orders. I certainly plan on returning.

Went here Friday for Valentine's Day date night. This was my first time attending a Muse Paint bar…read moreclass. Upon walking in, we were directed to our assigned table and easels. We were originally assigned to a table with only bar stools, but asked to be moved to a table with actual regular chairs. At first, one staff member seemed like it was an "undoable" task until I spoke with a different person, the man who led our painting class, who easily said it was no problem. That was a little weird tho. Took us a min to get started, not sure what the hold up was. Once we began, I feel like our instructor went at a decent pace and explained directions thoroughly throughout the night. As the night went on, there was a staff member who consistently went around all night collecting trash and telling everyone their painting was "beautiful" and "nice." This made all of us attendees laugh because we all felt our paintings were actually looking crazy lol. Had the option to order food and drinks directly at the bar or to scan a QR code attached to our easels and order from our phones. We didn't get any food because we had dinner plans, but from what I saw other people order, the food looked pretty decent. I did try a drink, the White Peach Sangria (8/10) it was decently sweet and refreshing. I can see myself going back for another painting class. We did the individual paintings side of the building, but on the other side, the easels are coupled together for the paintings to be "connected" so I think we'll do that painting style next time. My overall rate of experience : 9/10

Walking you are surrounded with a free space and vibrant atmosphere full of art that master create as well as pieces you can even purchase that are displayed on the wall. The instructor was phenomenal she guided us through each way and make sure we were happy with the piece and if there was any edit that we needed help with they were willing to help. And this was definitely beginner/advanced class but definitely a good start to those that want to try to look what masterpiece you can make. They do recommend you getting there the time the bar/kitchen opens to get time to order food and drinks .The service was good and the food and drinks were good I was recommended to try there pepperoni flatbread and that was honestly a good piece as well as there drinks are nice and light and not to heavy on you a perfect way to just unwind and let them you guide throughout the night. They do offer paint your pet might do that for our pet and. I did see a piece on the wall that I want to do that is happening tomorrow. And I did like the way they showcase Each of the painting so you can see it in person for the first time or when you visit you can see what each painting they're doing for that month. If you are first timer or pro all welcome here and I would come back again for another painting it was definitely a great time. Perfect way to start the new year to make artwork I did rebook for an afternoon and want to check out both day and night and for day it's all ages and night depending on what the event is.

There were 9 of us in this session with room for 10. Everyone had their own wheel, apron, and 3 balls of clay. Angela was very inspirational. She shared her background story for us and I love that the number one rule is to not stress. When making pottery, it is your one and only focus or else your pottery will show and boy was that the truth. It was a great experience to just focus on being in the present. She took us through all the steps and I was a bit nervous I would forget them but she was hands on as needed and even had instructions on the board of each step. One practice round and two pieces to take home, I can't wait to see and use our finished products!

It was so much fun, perfect for all levels of creativity/skill, and the instructor/owner was delightful. I changed my mind on my project shortly after beginning & asked if I could do a different design, offering to pay for the supplies I'd used. She was fabulous, gracious, & generous. Another aspect of her teaching style that I really appreciated was that she would help as much or as little as a student wanted. If we had done this craft earlier in the week, we all agreed that we would have gone back again, there were so many cool designs and it was so much fun. If I could give 10 stars I would.

Higher Vision Studios is located in the Kempsriver Crossing Shopping Center. You can enter the…read moreshopping center from several directions, such as from Kempsville Rd, Indian River Rd, and Kempsriver Dr. The road within the shopping center is Fordham Dr. My visit here was on September 14, 2025. The reason for the visit here that day was to celebrate my nephew's birthday. Many of his friends were there too. The storefront for the business is similar to how many other places are, but you can definitely see the big Ninja Warrior sign across the windows on the outside. After coming inside, there was a table area for everyone to sit. However, at that time, it was playtime for the kids. They were running through an obstacle course to try and beat their prior timed attempts. They were at this for quite a while, and it was fun to watch them try, especially after doing it awhile as you could tell they were getting tired out. I'd call that part mission accomplished. Once the obstacle course time was done, everyone came back to the table to celebrate my nephew's birthday. The staff were getting the next event set up during that time. Everyone had a great time with the cake. The second part of the play here involved the kids vs. adults. The lights were turned off, and it was basically like a Nerf War between them. I didn't do that part of it, but I did watch it all unfold. The kids were very quick to get the adults. There are several hiding areas to avoid getting caught or to sneak attack with the Nerf gun. There were also some mini snowballs you could throw around too. Once that part was done and the lights were back on, you could see everyone was tired out. Overall, this was a great place to have a birthday party. The staff were welcoming, and they were patient with the kids too. The atmosphere in here was tuned to the level of fun. They also have weekly summer camps and other offerings as well. There seems to be something for everyone here. If you are looking for a place to go for a birthday party or some other type of event, be sure to check this place out.
