If you aren't coming here for an after-school program as a kid there isn't much reason to stop by when the library has better art, is right across the street, and is free.

The exhibits are always interesting, the…read moreowners of the gallery are eccentric and pleasant, and the space is a renovated church, so it is quite lovely. Its a typical local gallery, local artists, local art, etc. I was recently there for a private event. A wedding to be precise. It worked out well for the amount of people that we had, though I would not suggest doing so with more than 50 guests. It was a bit of a squeeze to manage a dance floor. There is a kitchen downstairs to allow for food service/catering. Overall a lovely place for a small event.

Located conveniently between Artificial Marketplace and the super hot spot eatery No Problemo, TL6 offers many fine gifts from local artisans as well as a few retail items like Maruca handbags and Jenness Farm goat soap.TL6 always participates in local events such as AHA! Night, the Holiday Stroll, and Summerfest. The owners are knowledgeable jewelers who will take their time with you, if you require it. They have a wide variety of gifts, of many different price points. Support New Bedford and support TL6 The Gallery!

Rude Salespeople. I…read moream shocked and appalled that the salesperson hung up on me. I represent a really well known designer in the NYC area. She is currently exhibiting in Paris with another designer they represent in their gallery. Although I understand a lot of retailers aren't interested in new talent right now, there was no reason for this person to hang up on me. If that is how they treat their artists I can only imagine how they treat their customers. I will never work with this gallery and strongly suggest to any artist displaying their work in Rogers Gallery to watch out!

I don't want to oversell because it's not like there's much to do exactly. But the history and display of intricate and exotic glass is truly amazing. I had no idea this existed right around the corner and so much was produced right in New Bedford back in the day. The curator, Kirk was fantastic in explaining and demonstrating some of them more unique and interesting pieces.

The highlight was the personal guided tour. We learned so much from Kirk. You could tell he loves glass and was able to share his knowledge in an interesting way. We ended up spending about 2 hours here. It's not huge but with the information given about each section, it was well worth the admission fee.

So for the adult admission it's worth it.

If you had asked me before I attended a uPaint! event of my interest in/ability to paint I would…read morehave said very little and none at all. Having been invited to a private event with my co-workers, I said what the heck. New to the job, this event was a perfect way to socialize with my colleagues in a relaxed, fun, and comedic setting all while delving into and learning a little bit about an art new to me. uPaint! is described as a mobile paint studio, and mobile it is! My facility's dining room was transformed into an assortment of tables wrapped in brown paper, easels presenting fresh canvas, mason jars full of water, towels, aprons, paintbrushes, and paints all set up and ready for our artistic flare. Miranda, our very enthusiastic, engaged, and funny instructor, created an environment that was not only physically organized to participate in painting, but mentally comforting and supportive of our novice status. It can be scary to put paint to canvas... the permanence of paint vs. pencil per say can be anxiety provoking in the wrong setting. Step-by-step we walked through the basics of painting (like brush types, blending of colors, etc.). We were given time to work through each direction. Miranda demonstrated techniques which we then put to use... along with her assistant, we received tips, tricks, and suggestions on how to achieve our artistic visions. Here and there I had to take a break to build up my confidence in going forward. As a perfectionist, the uncertainty surrounding my final product made me hesitant... but there was plenty of support and positivity floating about the room to help me continue! With the wine flowing, laughter rising, and brushes alive with vibrant colors, time flew by and our interpretations of the intended "beach sunset scene" came to closure. Delighted by the experience, I was proud to stand amongst those I now knew a little bit better (perhaps on an artistic level I may have otherwise never encountered) to take photos and converse about our masterpieces. In my opinion, there is no better way to try out painting for the 1st (2nd.. 3rd... and beyond) time! Though I didn't have to personally pay for this session, in researching the cost on the uPaint! website, I found it to be quite an affordable way to set yourself up with the equipment and expertise needed to try out painting. I highly recommend this company and all it has to offer to all of the undiscovered artists out there!

She responded that day only to say she was busy and would get back to me. About a week later she responded and confirmed a date after that I kept trying to get a response for things such as the picture we would be painting. Like two days before I was suppose to have my party she responded and said don't worry I don't work for free. Still have no idea about anything the day of my party so I sent her a email telling her no thank you ...
