I co-work a lot, so there are two main things I look for:…read more Outlets Parking This place is great at 1/2 of these things. Parking is perfect. Plenty of room to park. They have started doing a little better about having outlet options, but mainly at those tall, long skinny tables. The ones that aren't necessarily great for working because they're so high up and can make your legs feel weird after awhile. Haha. The other semi complaint I have is that they close early. 3 pm is early when you want to try and work. Drinks are good. I don't drink a ton of coffee these days, but what I've had there was good. I get either their chai or matcha. Both of those I enjoy! I had a sandwich there recently. I wanted to roll my eyes at the price truthfully. However, when it came.. WOAH. It was GIANT. I was thoroughly impressed. It was really really good. I had to take half of it home and put it in the fridge. When I came back home hours later... it was STILL GOOD. The bread was not soggy either! That's HUGE! Ok so overall, I highly recommend this place and it's one of my go to spots.

I'd still consider going back since they're open fairly late, which I really appreciate. There's a small parking lot next to the shop, which is convenient. Overall, a fun spot for the atmosphere even if the coffee didn't quite hit for me.

He is skilled and helpful without being intimidating. The kids were free to explore their personal gifts and visions but had Billy there to aid them in how to do it.

His studio always had a good vibe and lots of interesting artwork hanging and things for sale that would Inspire their creativity further. San Diego took a big loss when neko press relocated . Nashville, consider yourselves lucky!

Get your hands dirty and develop a new hobby!…read more This art studio and gallery offers 2D printing, painting, drawing and ceramics classes. I've taken the ceramics classes here with a focus on wheel throwing and I love it! Becca is an awesome instructor and allows the class to be free to create, but also helps to steer you in the right direction. I'll be taking the summer class here in May. I've been throwing on the wheel off and on for about 15 years now and the intermediate class offered here is perfect for shaking off the cobwebs. They do offer beginner ceramic classes if you're looking to just dip your toe into the ceramic slip. The classes are about $100 for 8- 12 weeks and the cost includes your clay. For comparison other ceramic classes can start $300! I know I'm about to blow up my own cozy quiet nook of Nashville, but if that means the community discovers and supports this arts center... I'm here for it!

Ample parking, two large classrooms. One for painting and one for clay. They offer classes several times a year, usually about 12 weeks each. A nice place to create, learn, meet, network, enhance your skills.

Art & Soul is a Nashville TREASURE when it comes to gathering creative, welcoming, non-judgmental,…read moreauthentic artist-types! I have LOVED everything I've ever participated in at Art & Soul over the last 18+ years. Yowza. Classes and workshops are playful and supportive. There's drawing, clay, collage, movement, sound, creative writing, painting, mixed media, book & paper arts, printmaking and more... but Art & Soul also puts on monthly fun and interesting FREE community movie nights, FREE poetry & spoken word parties, special events, & arts shows. The cost is reasonable and in-line with what many other studios charge but this place is different -- the people are grounded, seeking, magical folks. They really build community -- you feel A PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER. It's also group-owned by local artists who sustain the space cooperatively and use it when there are no classes going on. This is a HIDDEN GEM! It's right in the 12th South area, which is cool, but they need a satellite in East Nashville too!

Branded as a "makerspace", memberships start at $150/mo and cap at $500/mo. Open 24 hours a day (to members only), this is the perfect resource for artists looking to get their business of the ground without the commitment of purchasing studio-space. The shops include screen-printing, metal work, and wood. You can use your reserved space for pretty much any type of art if you don't want your livingroom overflowing with tools and clutter. You are responsible for providing all material supplies, the equipment is the responsibility of the establishment. While some might have a hard time justifying the cost of a membership, I personally don't have the funds to purchase the equipment they allow members to use for free. For me, this is the key selling point. There is a gallery on site and a cafe which features some of the artists work on its walls. During off-hours the space can be used an event space. Scheduling and availability is all done online. All in all, it's a very straight forward agreement, and a fun space to collaborate with other artists.
