My husband and I recently participated in a stained glass art class at Preston Arts Center. From…read morethe moment we entered I was impressed! The store was full of natural light that highlighted the rooms, and the steps to the upper classrooms were painted in colorful hues. The staff were super friendly as we strolled through the center prior to our class. The selection of art supplies was quite impressive and seemed to include most anything a person could need for art projects (colored pencils, paints, brushes, pens, markers, canvas, children's art kits, and so much more). The prices appeared to be fair and in line with box stores and chain craft supply stores. They offer an array of workshops and classes for all ages that include both one-day and weekly offerings.The class that we participated in was phenomenal. The instructor was very patient and quite knowledgeable. The price of the class included all materials. There is plenty of parking in a dedicated lot.

They bring a passion with them to the expertise they offer you. That's what it's like to step into Ms Audrey's Emporium. The entrance is filled with art projects that invite you to explore within yourself- What do you wish to create? What crafting skill have you been meaning to pick up or grow? What part of you haven't you had a chance to express yet? And then Ms Audrey will ask you what you're interested in making, so she can help you bring it from idea to life! My artistic, seven-year-old daughter and I came to Louisville for spring break and enjoyed spending more than two days with Ms Audrey. We had stopped at the Speed Art Museum on our way into the city. Pro tip: The speed is free on Sundays. My daughter was inspired by some community artwork with mixed media on canvas. We showed a picture of the inspiration to Ms Audrey. She had the perfect materials and know-how to help us create our own masterpiece, inspired by the art we saw at the museum. My daughter did not want to do anything else in the city besides make art with Ms Audrey- we even skipped the children's museum. We learned different techniques for using the materials and I'll definitely be incorporating them as we continue to create at home. Ms Audrey helps you not only bring beauty into the world, but she makes learning a new craft accessible step by step. Her process helps you create while expanding your crafting skills along the way. She offers such a unique experience. As someone who continually strives to bring analog experiences to the younger generations, I fully approve and value the service she brings to the community. Her prices are absolutely affordable for the value and materials she has to offer. If you're considering starting a crafting hobby or working on a specific craft project, go see Ms Audrey.

I am a student here and I am having a fantastic time. Graduate school is really a lot of work but…read morethe Seminary works really hard to provide the students with support and human care while enrolled. I already have a graduate degree so this isn't my first time in "even higher Ed" but this is my first time in such a gentle community of scholars and feeling really supported not just by the faculty of the school but the professional staff as well. As a student I have not only enjoyed great classes but my internship opportunities have been fruitful as well. There are extra lectures that are open to the community, opportunities to provide public, AND because it is Presbyterian everyone is welcome to attend and participate fully but also there are committees where you get to frequently use Robert's Rules of Order. So many committees, so many motions. The Seminary also features a counseling center where you can recieve low-cost therapy for yourself or your family, couple, etc. This is a chill Jesus type of Christian institution and there are several students who are not Presbyterian (I'm not) and even students who don't practice a form of Christianity. These are the most earnest and sincere people I have ever studied or worked with. If you're looking for angry Jesus, he's across the street.

I stayed at a conference on the grounds of the Louisville seminary. While I was a bit hesitant…read more(was it going to be a dorm?), I was really surprised at the very professional accommodations, and the amenities for the room and the common areas (good wifi, coffee, cable tv, the important things). My room was very clean and spacious. It took me a while to find the business center; they had two computers with a printer, but i couldn't get online. The grounds and the locale were particularly impressive, reflective of a very affluent "Kentucky" neighborhood: old trees, endless manicured lawns, a golf course nearby. Considering the political reputation of KY, and the notoriety of a neighboring Southern Baptist Seminary, I was somewhat hesitant about excessive rules or a dominant religiously evangelistic culture, but I thought this location had a good balance, lots of opportunties for spiritual reflection and practice, but not an oppressive expectation of uniformity. Finally, we had breakfast at the school cafeteria, and while it was quiet and typical of a buffet/cafeteria, the grits, casserole, and and eggs and ham were quite adequate. The fruit seemed sort of generic... I would have preferred peaches, pears, etc., that I assume would be plentiful in the autumn, in the south!

The painting and pottery options were both great…read more What wasn't great was one of the younger employees appearing to openly mock another staff member. The older staff member who was being mocked was seemingly deaf/hard of hearing. We heard the younger employee (early 20's girl, seemed to be a supervisor) get frustrated with the other and openly mock the way she spoke. Both my partner and I were pretty uncomfortable. But from the sound of it, the younger staff member was leaving for college soon, so it's possible she won't be there if you go.

I was enthralled walking into this space and the gallery displays were phenomenal! One of my favorite artists was actually there talking about her pieces- and it is always wonderful to meet the artist behind exhibited pieces! She made wonderful sculptures of busts and heads with what I would call brain chaos sprouting out of the tops of the heads. For me- I love art that sparks an emotional response, is something relatable, or something that just sparks my curiosity and imagination. There were plenty of other artists work there too and I loved several different pieces. On this particular evening I was sprinting through town hitting up several galleries- but this was my first stop and made a huge impression on me. The space itself is also wonderful. We were only allowed access to the downstairs gallery, I assume classrooms were upstairs or downstairs (or both) and I could see there were other exhibits, but those were closed. Cincinnati really embraced the NCECA pottery crowd and made sure to have as many exhibits across town as possible!

They used to be located in Mt…read more Adams but recently purchased a larger building in Over-the-Rhine and have moved everything downtown. It's a beautiful building on Jackson Street that was re-done to fit the style of the Art Academy. Inside there is a sprawling atrium that looks up all the floors around the staircases. There is gallery space all over the building and chances are there is some show up. Right now the SOS Political art show is hung up as well as the Visual Fringe Gallery for the Fringe Festival. The Art Academy generously donates a classroom to the Fringe Festival as well for it's use for a few plays and it's a great space for them! The Art Academy unfortunately had a rapid decrease in enrollment since their move downtown, which was to be expected. However, with the revitalization of the gateway quarter (as it's now being called) things should be looking up for them. If you are looking for a great art school for all aspects of visual art and design, this is the place to go!

This review is for the annual fish fry…read more The set up is somewhat confusing, there is a line that you stand in to get food and pay, but then there is another line that had no payment at the end so what was that food? I never found out. Then there is a whole other table for drinks where you have to buy a ticket for, which didn't concern me because I just had water. I got the fish with rye bread and tartar sauce. My side was mac and cheese and I tried a couple of my friends fries. Everything was hot and fresh although taste was lacking. The fish was pretty bland and the mac and cheese was so yummy looking in the pan, very thick and cheesy, but it hardened in my bowl and was pretty flat overall. Also we got there early which was a good idea because 5 minutes after we sat down a huge wave of people arrived and the dining room filled up to capacity. If you are in the area this isnt one bad, but for me I am still on the hunt for a better fry.
