They provide everything you need for the painting and offer clear directions for making your own version of whatever the painting is for that night (you can see ahead of time on their calendar).

The crowd definitely skewed female - obviously a great girls night activity - but we had fun doing it as a date night and I highly recommend it for other couples or for anyone just looking to meet new people.

Alan LeQuire is one of Nashville's renowned artists. He is the sculptor of the Athena at The…read moreParthenon, for one. This is his gallery and workspace. Like another Yelper said: I ain't fancy enough to visit LeQuire Gallery to purchase artwork. But if you are, then you can! The gallery sells a nicely curated selection of contemporary sculptures and paintings -- some of them by Alan LeQuire himself, and some by other artists. If I were fancy, I would have purchased a sculpture of LeQuire's that depicted a mother breastfeeding her baby. It really spoke to me, as a mom who breastfed her children for a total of five years. (I know!) I couldn't stop looking at it. Alas, I'm not fancy, but I am curious, and so I was able to visit the artist's workspace in the back to peek around. If you're able to go behind the scenes to the studio and see the workspace, you should. You'll see sculptures in all stages: from sketches to blobs of clay to semi-formed blobs of clay to fully detailed, fired and glazed works of art. It's amazing how an artist's mind works! LeQuire Gallery is open by appointment on Tuesdays through Saturdays. If you're interested in local art and sculpture, this is definitely a great gallery to visit in Nashville.

I'm not nearly fancy enough* to afford a piece of art from the gallery. So, I am reviewing the…read morespace as a venue, rather than a place of retail. The gallery is a deceptively large space that offers one-of-a-kind conversation pieces and plenty of room in which to mingle. I'd, gladly, return. In a city brimming with delicious restaurants and cool concert halls, I feel like art galleries get overlooked for event venue spaces. I have fallen into this trap, myself. I can't remember the last time I thought to pair with an art gallery. That's an oversight. I'd never been to the LeQuire Gallery before and was anxious to check it out. I don't spend that much time in this part of town so when I have good reason to do so, I like to take it. The building looks shallow from the outside but once you step inside, you see how much it opens up. The main gallery space is abutted by 3 ancillary spaces for display, storage and office space. The entire venue was open to my group. As you might imagine, art is everywhere. From sculpture to paint, there's something interesting and eye-catching no matter where you look. And when meeting someone new or having a lull in conversation with someone you know, talking about art is always a safe go-to. The white walls and high ceilings don't absorb sound, though. So be prepared to talk loudly as the night progresses. By the end of the evening, my voice was a bit shot. The gallery is a bit by itself on Charlotte but if an event or a purchase puts you on track to cross paths with it, make sure you take the opportunity. Having done so, I realize the need to put more art in my life. *Yet.

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!
