Over the years, the Guild has sponsored many opportunities for local artists and craftsmen to promote their work and improve their skills and marketing strategies. The Guild's major annual event is "Celebration of the Arts" held in September in the Foundation Conference and Performing Arts Center at Isothermal Community College. In 2009, the Guild opened the Visual Arts Center (VAC) on Main Street in Rutherfordton. The VAC gives Guild members a permanent exhibit and sales venue and provides studio space for artists to work on a regular basis and classroom space for workshops and education.

I have 2 young daughters who are in their 2nd and 3rd year at Dream Weavers, and they both love it…read more They must be doing something right because both my girls have only had their enthusiasm for dance increase since they started taking classes. I don't normally leave reviews but it bothers me to see this place has only one review and it's from an angry would-be customer who never even enrolled there. From my perspective as a 3rd year Dream Weavers mom, the teachers are wonderful - we've had only positive interactions with them. Their new location is beautiful and spacious. Possibly the best thing about this studio is that they put on the Nutcracker performance at ICC every year, and all enrolled dancers age 4 and up have an opportunity to be in the show. We are doing it for the second year in a row and, while it is a lot of extra practice classes, it's totally worth it. My daughters love being part of this amazing production, and I love seeing them rise to the challenge. There is also a recital at the end of the year, which is another opportunity for them to learn a routine, practice, and perform it on stage in front of an audience (albeit one that is mostly the dancers' families). And my kids love that they get to keep the costumes afterwards. There are some fees associated with being in the Nutcracker, as well as costume fees for the recital, and a registration fee when you sign up for the year, but the month to month cost of classes is quite low so I feel like it evens out. And yes, as the owner told the other reviewer, there is an exclusive enrollment stipulation in the policies - I checked the current handbook on the website and it's definitely there (look under Attendance). So maybe some people don't like that, but it's not as if they are misleading anyone. In summary, I highly recommend this dance studio. Unless something drastically changes, I plan to keep bringing my girls here for as long as they want to continue dancing, or age out of the school.

I normally do not leave reviews but I feel this review is necessary. This studio owner blatantly…read morelied to me telling me they had a new policy in place stating that if a child is enrolled at any other dance studio that they are not allowed to take even recreational classes at Dreamweavers. I had a current copy of the new policies and no where in the policies did it mention this. All that had to be said was she was not going to not allow my child to dance at the studio. This was simply done because I chose to take my daughter to a different studio to do competition dance. If you lie about something as simple as that how can you be trusted as a business what else are you lying to people about.

The children were allowed to play for about thirty minutes before the birthday party started! I think the adults we're hoping the kids would burn off some energy and become a little bit calm and docile! That's not going to happen! Children have boundless energy and even if they get tired; they recover quickly! I posted a list of the educational play areas offered here. We had a good sized private room for the festivities! After the party the kids ran from play center to play center for about another hour and a half! New Years hats, face mask, top hats and much more were provided for every child and adult in the building! I even grabbed a hat for myself! This is a fantastic place for kids to have their birthday parties and I highly recommend them!

We got two flights: Cherry - this is VERY tart, did not really care for it. Blackberry - it is also tart, but definitely more tolerable. Rhubarb - this was enjoyable for me, not so much my husband. Peach - this was way too floral and had no peach flavor. Sangria - it was okay, had a raspberry taste to it. Strawberry - it was okay, not strong in flavor. Diamond - it was a nice sweet white wine, and our favorite of the day. CB - not a strong muscadine, but you can definitely tell it is a muscadine wine. We were suggested to blend the rhubarb and strawberry together after we tasted both separately. It was fine, but I preferred the rhubarb on it's own. It's a shame that we did not really care much for their wines since they were friendly here. Since wine is a personal taste, I still recommend going to give it a try!
