My class credit became useless when the teacher left, and I thought it was a no-brainer to transfer that credit to another class, especially since I mentioned it to the owner while signing up over the phone.

I understand things happen, but a sincere apology or an attempt to make it right would have meant a lot. It's not just about the credit or the class; it's about feeling valued.

It appears as if this administration sees its students as little more than a financial resource. Specifically stating that they seek to be accommodating to all students, this small community agency, dependent on local support, ignores both the student and their own stated policies. If you sign up for a series of classes and have an unanticipated illness, there is no accommodation whatsoever. They do not respond to your calls/messages and just keep your money. Not worth it!

For context, I rate products and businesses on a simple scale: 5 stars means I love it, 4 stars…read moremeans I like it, 3 stars is okay, 2 stars means I didn't like it, and 1 star means I hated it or think it's unsafe. I love this place. It really gives new meaning to "dinner and a movie." Honestly, the movie I saw was good, but that's almost secondary here. The real draw is the experience. Being served a full meal while sitting in a super comfortable recliner takes it to another level. I had the buttermilk fried chicken with maple syrup dipping sauce and sriracha ranch, along with fries, and it was all very tasty. I also like the brownie dessert they have. It's delicious. The theater itself is upscale and feels more like a luxury experience than your typical movie theater. I've been to other theaters that try to offer food service, some closer to this level and others that feel more like a regular theater that just happens to serve food. I definitely prefer the upscale version, and this place does it right. Service is handled well and doesn't distract from the movie, and they stop taking orders with about 45 minutes left, which I thought was a smart move. It is pricey, so I wouldn't go all the time, but once or twice a year it's a great treat and a really enjoyable experience.

I'm extremely disappointed with the service that I received from Fernando Martinez, the founder of…read moreARTLANTIC. I purchased 2 expensive pieces of sculpture in March 2019. Fernando promised that any shipping costs in excess of $500 would be borne by him and that he would provide me with Certificates of Authenticity by the artist. The cost of shipping was almost $700, which I paid directly to the shipper. Despite many phone conversations and texts with Fernando , I have yet to receive the reimbursement or documentation. Fernando is now not returning my calls and texts. I have heard several promises and excuses but have yet to receive the reimbursement and documentation. And, incidentally, the shipping was delayed by a couple of weeks. The art is beautiful, but the service stinks. I would highly recommend not dealing with Fernando and his business. Or if you do, make sure that he delivers on all promises before you stroke a check to him. Sam Ulan Columbia, MD

The run an annual two day ArtsFest in Memorial Park every February. A complete list of their events can be found on the cultural calendar posted to their website. The Arts Council offices are on the second floor of the restored historic 1937 Martin County Courthouse which has been turned into the Court House Cultural Center. They operate two galleries with rotating free art exhibits on the first floor. I recently visited the gallery for the current exhibit, Horizons A Retrospective Exhibition of Jim Houser & Dan Mackin. The Arts Council current venture is the SHS Arts Campus Project. SHS is the Art Deco 1923 Stuart High School. The class of 1964 was the last to graduate from SHS. In recent years the building has been used as the Martin County School District Administrative Offices and the Instructional Center for Education. All offices have now moved out of the building and the school board meets in the former auditorium. The Arts Council would like to save this historic building and turn it into multiple mixed-use venues which will include space for working artists, performers, lectures, commerce, and office space. You can see updates of the project on Arts Council website. You can help them reach their goal by supporting their various programs and leaving donations at the Court House Cultural Center.
