This new art gallery is in a renovated funeral home from the 20s! The building is beautiful and the…read morenew owner (an artist herself) has helped to restore many of its wonderful and historic qualities. I attended an opening night event here and was delighted to hear from one of the artists who drove in from Chicago. Two separate artists were featured at the time. Both had art having to do with repurposing items. I also got to see the basement where studio spaces are rented. Definitely a nice spot for an artist in need of such a space. Admission is FREE! Also, check out their gift shop of original, artist- made items.

The staff is lovely, but the owner is a jerk. I wanted a small reframe done, but he didn't want to…read moretake the frame apart to do it. So he sent me home to take the frame apart myself. When I returned with the pieces, he quoted me three times what he had originally, claiming the parts would damage his machine (not true). When I called the original Madison framer who did the work, they told me that they wish I hadn't taken it apart because there's a "correct" way to do it. This guy is just in it for the money. So if you have enough to buy an Hermes bag. You can always get the box framed there-- happily I'm sure.

What a neat idea for making abstract art! We tried the paint fluid art and Marian taught the…read moredifferent types of fluid paint pouring techniques before we got into the action of pouring. She was super helpful and patient with us while we tried to pick what technique we wanted. They also offer all sorts of art and crafts you want to try. Great ace to make your own art and gift them to friends and family or for yourself! We used a Groupon for the base canvas that came with the 10"x20" size. Resin was $25 extra, which I think would be worth it!

This has been my second time visiting. The first time I was impressed by their inventory as they…read morehave some pretty unique home decor. I was happy to show my friend this boutique. They have a grapefruit mint candle that is natural and smells refreshing, and I wanted to get that again. When we arrived, it was about 20 minutes prior to closing, but we decided to go in for a quick looksee. I pay attention to customer service and if the vibe is welcoming and this visit it was NOT! We did not get a hello or welcome. When paying for my candle, the owner said hello, my total, and asked me to punch in my card pin. Honestly, it felt as if we were stepping on toes for entering their shop close to closing. We weren't the last customers in the shop, and we were left the store 10 minutes prior to closing. When we left, the owner immediately ran outside and pulled in her sign and closed the door. My friend and I both talked about how unwelcomed we felt, and unfortunately, we decided we will not be coming back here. It has nothing to do with the items inside the shop, but it is a crummy feeling when you want to support a small business but are left feeling rushed and unappreciated.

Mr. Robinson helped me look through so many beautiful framing and matting options not getting the slightest bit frustrated when I changed my mind a million times. Ms. Billie is a gem and a wealth of knowledge in all types of art. This is where I will be getting all of my portraits and art framed here forward. Super reasonable pricing as well. Can't wait to go back!

I wanted to love this. I really did. Early Mother's Day with the family. Wheelchair accessible…read more Tables are low not a high table/stool for my mom. Painting and margaritas, sounds good, right? We arrived on time- not set up for us yet- We looked around super cute space, lots of fun art supplies- would be fun for kids. We were down one in our party. We sat down and their completed example was on an easel- there were 4 of us and only 3 pieces of paper (shaped like an easel) with paint (red, white, blue, and yellow). I asked for one more- and it felt like I was asking for too much and putting them out. We were given 2 brushes each- my larger brush - the bristles were stuck together- I asked for an alternate one- and I was given another. (We were the only ones who signed up/showed up?). Also, we were surprised for a margarita paint and sip, we had no margaritas/ only hard seltzer margarita flavored- I am not supposed to drink anything with bubbles/carbonated. Ok, I drank one anyway.... I was disappointed when we found out- this was a "self-guided" painting experience. We had no idea that no one was going to teach us anything. The picture example was up there and we were told it was best to paint the background first. The margarita glass was drawn on our canvas. I have been to other paint and sips- but with an artist walking us through the steps. This felt more like open art space hours. I was disappointed. I wanted to love this space. It's close to home, seems woman owned, and has great potential. For Me, and my group, I don't feel we had the experience we expected. I wish the staff was more interactive, provided guidance; instead the 3 of them were at a nearby table creating social media and we listened to the same playlist overhead on repeat. It's a great space, I'd call and ask how the paint/sip was run if you are looking for a guided paint class.
