The gallery provided an amazing backdrop for photos and videos. Amazing assistance with the planning. There were tables, tablecloths, a speaker system and a mic system that we were able to use. Highly recommend Bella Fine Art for your next event space!

I have no idea how I've never noticed this store! Its pretty big and has a huge selection of…read morecanvases, easels, paints, and so on, and i thought the prices were very reasonable. They even had a huge sale on canvases so I had to get a big canvas. Do I paint? I guess now I do, and now I have another art store nearby for supplies and inspiration! They also have a lot of frame types i wasn't even aware existed, like specifically for stretched canvas, etc. And actually I do have a canvas in need!

J-Wow Fact: I majored in graphic design…read more Yes, it's true. You can't tell by my kindergarten stick figure drawings, but I majored in fine arts AKA my parents' nightmare. With all that said, Jerry's is a delight. I came here as an art student and I still come here now. My niece is into the arts, so popping in here for birthday and holiday gifts is a no-brainer. I pick up the occasional items for myself as well. Canvases, paints, any marker or pen you need, et cetera. It's a great shop to fulfill all your artsy needs!

My youngest niece had her 9th Birthday party here yesterday, it was an emoji painting theme, and it…read morewas a blast for the kids and the adults who attended. The shop is very clean, well organized, and appointed with all supplies necessary to unleash your inner Picasso. The staff was helpful, making sure each little artist created their masterpiece to their liking. The Sparkle Factory will delight princesses and princes of all ages, and is a great photo op. The children had a super time during their "parade" of paintings, eating cupcakes, singing "Happy Birthday," playing staff-led games while their canvases dried, and celebrating her last single digit (sniff sniff) Birthday. They also offer adult parties - BYOB, if you choose - and have a variety of mediums you can choose to paint. I'm thinking a GNO wine glass painting party is in our very near future. They have Comedy nights, and other special events, too. We've been to different venues for her past three birthdays, and this is by far my favorite. Locally owned, obviously a labor of love: a perfect afternoon for my sweetie, her posse, and all guests.

I recently visited this makerspace and was impressed by their offerings. I attended a workshop here…read moreand got to see how their laser cutter worked - fascinating stuff. We were able to get a water bottle engraved and I've been using it daily ever since. I explored the space more and saw that they had several 3D printers, large photo/poster printers, vinyl cutters, sewing machines, laser cutter, metal and wood workshop, and probably more that I missed. Membership is free to MCCCD students, faculty and staff and they charge at cost for materials, which is a great deal. It's open to the public as well and they have membership options. Staff were welcoming, knowledgeable, and easy to chat with. I would love to come back and explore more of their offerings!

I had the special opportunity to take a three day intensive class focused on an Impressionistic Approach to Watercolors with the world renowned Watercolor painter from Uruguay, Alvaro Castagnet. He taught us to look for the revolution within the painting & not 'paint pretty' We don't make pussy cats we make lions! And being a Leo myself this was incredible to hear. Interesting new concepts I learned like Maintain dirty water and never refresh it. Never clean the palette so one can Blend colors you have never seen before. Look for Lost & Found brushstrokes. Alvaro reminded me, To Paint with authority / Do not ever lack authority. because, If you are not confident it will show In your painting. All Three days we learned everything from figures to Cafè culture to architecture to interiors and all the time messing up or having a success on repeat ; most importantly "Our mistakes in life are our greatest teachers." Scottsdale Artists' School, you are very special - thank you for hosting teachers like this and thank you for giving us so much to learn in such a compact time that works with our travel schedules!
