    Beachside Fire
    Ceci A.

    Tonight was my 2nd time painting with The Paint Sesh. The first time was November 2019 and it was awesome!! I've been wanting to try one of their virtual sessions via Zoom. I tried the Beachside Night, it was also an amazing experience. Chelz takes it step by step so don't worry. She explains everything well. The music she plays is fire. They have great taste in music. The session was about 1 hr and 40 minutes. Only $15!! I can't wait to buy more. They also offer kid friendly paintings. I highly recommend. *they are also very quick to answer any question thru fb messenger Thank you The Paint Sesh !! Keep being awesome !

    Chelz and her team were incredible. The price was less than other places I searched too. It seems than Covid drove the cost up for many goods and services. I was planning a paint and sip for a milestone birthday of mine for a few years now. But thank goodness for The Paint Sesh- I was able to stay on budget and celebrate with my family and friends as planned. Chris was on time. He was very professional and patient. They took a few extra canvases for any last minute drop ins and Chris was able to accommodate for an add on in minutes. I truly appreciate it! The cleanup was quick. They provides everything they said they would. The music and his attention to my guests was great. I would most definitely recommend Chelz and her team to anyone looking for a memorable time. I have been to two paint sessions prior, 1 live and 1 virtual. The canvas for both were 16x20. Chelz had a smaller canvas- about 12x18 or so. To be honest, I really appreciate the smaller size. It makes it easier to display in my home! Nothing but good things to say.

    I'm proud to say I've attending these classes monthly for the past year and they've completely changed my life. Chelz and Chris are an awesome team of seriously talented artists, they provide a professional yet fun and funky painting experience! Chelz takes you step by step through the painting process and is very thorough if you have any questions or "happy accidents" I leave each class feeling much more comfortable and confident in my painting abilities and have a great souvenir to take home and put on my wall! So satisfied with the techniques I've learned from these fun get togethers!! Venue is on point, vibes and people are always on point I have no complaints PS HUGE FAN OF THE VIRTUAL PAINTINGS I can learn step by step how to paint, in real time, at my home!! I LOVE IT!! It's like escaping my everyday life for 2 hours, in the comfort of my own home. Thank you for continuing to bring us joy during the quarantine!!!

    We worked with the Paint Sesh crew to host a Virtual Paint party for our remote team. They were easy to work with, and created a very easy to follow along environment. Our team had a lot of fun, and I got quite a few messages about how nice it was to just "turn off" for a bit at work. While I do wish there was an option for us to ship kits to various addresses in one order, I understand the challenges of those logistics for the owners. Definitely would hire them again!

    We had a blast, both my teen daughter and I. Each at our own pace. I ended up making 2 small paintings on paper, and my daughter a one large one on canvas. We knew exactly what to gather to be ready for the live art class. Started on time, and went on longer because of some technical issues. Chelz and Chris are an awesome team! Clear instructions, great music, great vibes!

    Chelz hosted a 22 kids party (ages 9-10) every participant was engaged and even though it was a 2 hour Zoom session most of the participants stayed throughout the entire event. Her patience and great music choices made the party a blast! We can't wait to host an adult wine and paint party next time. Thank you for a great birthday celebration for our daughter and her friends.

    I've done a few in person painting events and tons of virtual paint events with the paint sesh. This was my first time having a private paint party for my sister's baby shower and the only word I can think of to describe how it all went is AMAZING. Booking was so easy, and the communication is great. The day of the party, Chris arrived and set up everything so I didn't have to. My guests had so much fun. Many of them had never done a guided painting before, but Chris was so helpful, and they all loved every second of it. The music was awesome, the direction was easy, and look at these beautiful paintings! I 100% recommend the paint sesh.

    This was our fourth Paint Sesh virtual experience and we had so much fun! Chelz is so encouraging and lets painters explore their creativity. We are doing another one on Thursday! $15 for an evening of fun and art with a professional is a steal. Try a session, you will love it!

    I have done several paintings with The Paint Sesh, in person and virtually. It is always a great time! The paintings are fun and colorful. Chelsea is a wonderful instructor. Her pace is great and never overwhelming. I highly recommend The Paint Sesh if you are looking for a fun activity. They also play great music!

    Do they have wine and paint sessions. On these are they just for adults or not?

    The event I attended was only for 21+. I don't know if they have family friendly events.

    We chose CCAC for our wedding reception because it was in the same neighborhood as the church where…read morewe got married. When we started planning, Raine was the event coordinator. She was immediately buffaloed by straight-forward questions, and she just would not stay organized or save/file any documents we supplied at her request, so I ended up having to make a packet of all of her info so she could keep track better. I really felt like I was her secretary, but she was supposed to be working for us! A few weeks before the wedding she was letting us know when to have our vendors come drop off our orders, but she would change the timeframe day to day, which led to me having to keep updating our florist, caterer and table rental people. Working with her added so much work on my end since I had to keep updating the vendors on when they could come drop off our order when Raine shifted the timeline and then sending the same information over and over since Raine didn't save it the first time she requested it. Luckily for us, Raine was replaced by Liz about 2 weeks before the wedding, and our experience immediately improved! Liz seems to be someone who is on top of things and cares about her clients. Liz was great about anticipating our needs beyond what we had already considered. As far as the space itself, the CCAC ballroom is a little bare, but we were really happy with how it looked with our decorations. They have a great lighting system, so we were able to program the lights on different modes for dinner versus dancing. Our guests had the chance to go around to the art gallery and onto the roof where there are a few firepits, so it was excellent for our guests who weren't big dancers. I think having other spaces for everyone to go gave everyone the chance to stay through to the end of the night. I was really happy nobody left early! For the price (about $4500), I thought the plastic folding chairs that come with the rental were a little flimsy and uncomfortable, so I splurged on banquet chairs from an outside vendor. My main selling point with CCAC was that it was walkable from our church, so I really didn't consider anywhere else. If I had worked with Liz from the start, and if CCAC offered better chairs or a little lower price I think I would easily give CCAC 5*!

Thunder-Sky, an autistic Native American, sketched demolition and construction sites throughout the Queen City. When he passed away in 2004, he left behind 2,000 drawings and a variety of costumes. Thunder-Sky Inc. was founded to preserve the legacy through art exhibits, educational programs, and an exhibition space for unconventional art. Many of Raymond's works of art and outfits can be viewed at the gallery which is opened Friday evenings and weekend afternoons. Prints of Thunder-Sky's work are available for purchase for $50.00 with proceeds contributing to the operation of the gallery.

The theme was crime scenes so I just had to attend. I could not recall ever being at Thunder-Sky before which made it more of a special treat. I walked up because it was nice out but discovered there was plenty of street parking upon my arrival. The gallery is located in an older but attractive building with a sign hanging over the sidewalk. The exhibit hall is smaller then some but it looks spacious and bright. I found the crime scene paintings and mixed media works very fun and engaging. Down a staircase was more exhibition space. I loved seeing what appeared to be an ongoing Golden Girls' tribute display with framed and mixed media pieces. This is where the food and drink was found. In addition to the typical fruit, meat, pretzels, crackers & cheese was a delicious chocolate cake of a heavier texture with chocolate icing. On top of the cake were these awesome little plastic hatchets like the kind you might murder someone with. How cool is that! By the staircase was a nice variety of cold cans of beer and water. Out the back door there is a small patio space offering a view of the hillside. I really like this art gallery. I plan to return here again. Until next time be kind to each other. #yelpcincy #thunder-sky #crimesceneart
