Granite AC is VERY expensive, and to fill up a high ceiling brick building will be even more expensive. The bands that play inside are local musicians, sharing their talents through performance art. With the wide variety of music that comes through their it is bound you will find someone you can enjoy. Now on occasion it can be to loud to talk or even hear yourself in their. Besides that, the people are cool that work and keep this place up and running. The artist that are there are talented and fun as well. I am a local artist there that has my art hung up sometimes and sells my clothing in the front room for gallery hop. For the location and the fact that this is a legit gallery the hanging fees and commission are fair. Each month is different, and you can not control the weather or how the economy is. It is hard to sell at galleries in general because of restricted hours usually. I wish there was a way to better view the art that is hung closer to the ceiling. Sometimes the detail of some ones art is missed out because of were it is paced. With such tall walls and so many artist wanting to hang up their art it makes it challenging, almost like a giant game of tetris. There is a wide variety of art/artist to choose from inside and outside of 83 gallery, so what ever you are into I am sure you will find it in there. The art in there has a wide spread of quality and talent as well. So check out 83 Gallery and support a LOCAL ARTIST!

Local art adorns the place, some of which are sold on T-shirts, and apparently the establishment supports numerous charities. :-) But 83 Gallery has room to grow, I think. It just didn't "arrest" me as other galleries in the Short North do. However, its location is prime, sharing space with Mikey's Late Night Slice. 3.5 stars, rounding down.

The outside of the building is painted with gorgeous mural artwork that I wish I had snapped a photo of! It's worth going even to see the outside. The exhibition itself was incredible and the performances by local circus artists was a great touch. I was extremely impressed by the amount of carnival-style decor that the staff was able to fit into the one room gallery, which also featured a corner bar serving some of your favorite fair food snacks to match the theme. Though the space is super small, the staff and curator clearly go above and beyond to make it a memorable experience to visit. I look forward to coming back in the future for another exhibition and to see what the space looks like in a different theme.

My friend had come months ago here for a rave. I can't imagine how packed it would be for something like that. Anyway, I did like it as a gallery. It's kind of a cool event space that they use for all kinds of things.

Terra Gallery is a working gallery that hosts a variety of hands on events listed either on their site or on eventbrite. I didn't spend much time exploring the gallery because I was pretty sure I'd need all of the time for my project, but there were a lot of interesting looking pieces that I will plan to explore more in the future. The space is a little small, but they have made good use of it, and are planning a move across to Bridge Park soon. I was glad I recruited a friend to join, because we were the only two people in the class! It was a fairly laid back event. The instructor had sketched out the details on the canvases before we arrived, and they provided a little instruction card that kind of showed how to build your piece up. As usual with these events, we ended up with two very different finished products, and my friend chose not to add some of the elements to her piece. April helped her take things out as she preferred. Since it was just the two of us, we were chatting and painting and the instructor was working on her own piece while another woman priced pieces in the gallery. They were very friendly and I had a great time!

Very cool gallery that I wish had a little more popularity…read more It's a small space but you still see a good number of paintings and sculptures. I came a little past 1 on a Saturday for an exhibition and it was only us and a volunteer and an intern. They said that they typically don't get many people here unless they have a huge event in which the artist brings their friends to the reception. Still, I wish more people knew about it. They do events here once a month and have an annual festival in early September! Be sure to follow their Instagram and Facebook for more updates! It's volunteer-run, so if you're interested in helping them out they welcome it! They had a few appetizers out, coffee, and juice. The juice was very refreshing! There are a few murals around it and on the building itself. There's a parking lot to the right of it that I think is theirs or you can do street parking on Starr Ave. I'm coming back again next month!

It seemed like a strange location, under a bridge, just across from the Parking Solutions office. This is definitely a female bent establishment. The themes were all about femininity and trees. The art was okay. It definitely wasn't bad, but I don't think it was all the way there yet. I didn't see one piece that I downright enjoyed or that drew on any kind of emotion. There was a piece with a girl and some eggplants. I thought that was skillfully done, and I contemplated the meaning for a while. It held my attention, but it's not something I would want to own. There were also some aviator statues with no arms, but, once again, they were just almost there. The gallery is large though, and it's very inviting. They seem to represent a lot of artists. They have two locations, and they just celebrated their 10 year anniversary. The curator was there, and she was helpful and friendly - almost too helpful and friendly. She asked us how we were doing three times. I wasn't sure if she was suspicious, if she wanted us to leave, or if she just thought we really looked like we needed help. My favorite part of A Muse was the shop dog, shadow. He looked like an aging Great Dane/Black Lab mix. There were two love birds in the office, literal love birds. They were very chirpy. If you go, be sure to go back to the office because there's more art for show back there.

It takes something special to catch my eye, and it happened that a recent erotica show captured my interest. The space was small, like most of the surrounding architecture, but modern and airy. Each of the pieces were well-lit, thanks to large windows and carefully placed artificial light, and the art was thought-provoking. The interior is split among two rooms, which feels awkward at first, but lends itself to a comfortable meandering. Their featured artist Chas Ray Krider was present, and he was kind enough walk us through some of his work. It was a real treat, and shed some light on the subject matter and his creative process. I didn't find the location to be remote, it was full of viewers on our Sunday visit, and my husband and I had a nice lunch afterwards at the neighboring Brown Bag Deli. I also didn't find the curator overly friendly - personable and polite, yes, but certainly not pushy. If you're looking for an artistic afternoon in German Village, the Muse Gallery provides.
