I am so happy that this art center opened so close to my neighborhood! I have visited Gasper Art…read moreCenter quite a few times and I have been impressed and really enjoyed myself every single time. Gasper has a variety of all things art. If you are looking for an art studio space to rent, they have them! I'm not an artist but the studios appear really spacious and inviting. We have attended a open gallery night and got to walk through all of the incredible artists studios while they were showcasing their work. It was a truly lovely event and I can't wait for the next one! Not ready to commit to renting a space but would love somewhere to create? They have studio memberships where you are able to utilize the equipment 24hrs a day. My favorite part of this art center are their classes. I have taken two beginner wheel throwing classes and they were so fun, I'm already signed up for another one! With the beginner wheel throwing class you get two hours of guided wheel throwing and enough clay to create two different pieces. After the class they will let your pieces fully dry out and then fire them in the kiln. After the pieces are fired you are able to come back and paint your own pieces by hand for another small fee or they will use one of three house glazes in blue, while, or black. My pieces turned out beautiful and I love that they are food safe and can even go in the dishwasher! There's a Sip n' Spin class hosted on Saturdays where you get to create and drink wine! Another great option for classes is the 4 week series if you'd like to be studio regularly and learn more complex techniques. If pottery isn't your thing they offer a mosaic class where you can create a custom mosaic piece. If you have ever wanted to try an art class, this is your spot! Currently (5/31/23) they have many classes on Groupon for a discounted price! I cannot recommend this great little studio enough.

After some beginning exercises, you get to pick whatever you want to paint. I have never seen anyone leave with a bad painting. I don't even know how Tom does what he does, but he manages to coax the best out of every student. I've been going for three years now. I had never taken painting lessons before. I'm always surprised by how good my paintings look. My classmates have all created really excellent work. Some of my fellow students are art teachers. Some are art students putting together portfolios. Most of us are just hobbyists. The classes are de-stressing and fun. They always go too fast, even though they are 3 hours. I highly recommend these classes for anyone who has ever wanted to paint. I can't speak for the other classes, but there other types of art taught like sculpture and fashion design. The work I've seen from those students is really terrific too. I'm no Monet, but I've included three photos of my work so you can see what to expect in the way of results. I had never done an oil painting in my life before joining the class. I had never had a painting lesson since 8th grade. If I can do it, you can do it.

She has a deep understanding of composition, color, lights and darks, and important painting techniques. She has helped me to grow as an artist.

Great 20min glass blowing class! We enjoyed getting to build a large, beautiful item. A few things…read moreto note: - most items cannot be built as a couple/together. I called ahead & asked about booking 1 slot/item for 2 people, and was told that's okay. When we got there they clarified that only certain items can be built by 2 people (fish, turtle, flower), but they allowed us to also built the vase together. That means if you do this as a date night/group activity, the other person will sit on the side while you build your item. I believe they host couple specific nights (or you can choose one of the few items that is partner friendly). - this is a QUICK guided activity. There wasn't any pre-education on glass blowing, techniques, advice, etc. You are allowed to pick up to 3 colors and then you basically follow the teachers instructions for each step with heavy assistance from the teacher on each step. This isn't a class for someone who's wanting to learn glass blowing basics, be creative, or do most of the process themselves. It's VERY guided and directed. Granted, it takes people decades to learn large scale glass blowing, so I understand why it's designed that way. But if you're looking for more creative freedom/independence, I'd recommend checking out Glass Bubble in Miami. - In addition to the above point, you're not really sure how to make the piece "good". For example, our vase had a ton of bubbles and I'm not sure there's anything we could've done differently to prevent that (and we weren't warned about it). Overall though, this is a cool art activity and you get exposure to some of the tools of glass blowing while getting to go home [the next day] with a cool item!

In all my time living in South Florida and my interest in Art and Culture, and the many art shows,…read moregalleries, and museums I've been to, I've never been to the Arts and Culture Center of Hollywood... Until now. Located in a preserved, historic building which was built in the 1920s, you might miss it if you weren't looking for it. It's on the edge of a residential area, and just east of Young Circle, so it gets a little lost in it's surroundings, but it's definitely worth exploring. The parking lot is free, and there's also street parking available. Entrance is $10 for adults, discounted for kids and seniors, and free with membership. The Center holds three exhibition spaces downstairs and one upstairs. The main exhibit space is rather large, which you can tell by looking at the current exhibition (ANIMALS), which showcased various media depictions and representations of animals. Behind the main space, there are also desks and drawings from patrons or the students at the school. There is also an artistic garden which may be a lot more enjoyable when the temperatures cool down. I met Joanna who did an amazing job of providing me with updates about events, history, and meet the artist days, which I believe are also free. I will definitely be back to check out other exhibitions and hopefully be able to attend an exhibition opening or two in the near future. If you're looking to improve your cultural aspirations for you and your family, come check out the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood. Be sure to tell Joanna I sent you

The best word for this museum is eclectic…read more While in Florida for a few weeks, the honey and I treated my MIL to a guest pass with our reciprocal NARM membership benefits. Check in wasn't smooth, but the space is definitely much larger than it appears from the outside. The honey enjoyed Environmental Futures III on the first floor and I enjoyed the 'Somewhere I Belong' installation and the community art upstairs, which was fantastic. They also had a piece by a local glass blower Brenna who participated in the Netflix show Blown Away. The piece had an inverted color scheme, but was otherwise a duplicate to the piece she created when she was eliminated. I would have loved to have seen an entire section dedicated to her pieces because beyond the glass and the art upstairs, the general curation wasn't really to my taste. All in all, the service was upbeat and helpful, but with general admission at $7, ($4 for students) I would call the experience slightly overpriced unless you're here under NARM.

Hi Everyone!…read more I am not going to make believe like I know everything that C By Me has to offer. I mean, I know they do parties and offer a camp where children have an opportunity to express themselves through myriad artistic venues, but I think it would be too limiting to say that's where it ends! More than what C By Me does, is how they do it! The care and attention that every child and every family receives creates a space where children have a truly stimulating time that is safe and nurturing! At the end of the day I am just a parent on the other end of the review that you are reading. So, why take my word for it? If you are being honest, you shouldn't. You should take the time to read the other reviews as well, and see if there is enough overlapping information to create credibility. (Spoiler alert - there is!!! :-) ) For me, though, the proof is in the pudding. I have been sending my children to C By Me for years. They regularly come back with a day's worth of experiences to share (and boy can they share!!!), as well as projects they have made which they enjoy making, playing with, and are very proud of! I know these results can only be brought upon by a caring and child-oriented group of people, and, as the old adage goes, everything starts at the head! So, a special thank you to C By Me and Jessica for everything you do for our children and our family!!!
