This is a historic landmark well over 100 years old which was originally a private residence, then a hotel, a community college and now a cultural community center in the heart of Gainesville. The Center has a beautiful courtyard, sprawling trees, manicured lawns, elegant architecture, and plenty of space for large groups. The Thomas Center also boasts two art galleries and open cultural center available for all who come to this quaint college town. They offer seasonal concerts, community guided tours and self-guided garden tours. Overall, a wonderful gem in downtown Gainesville. If you ever get a chance to come here for any reason, definitely go. It's one of the hidden treasures of this town and must be experienced to really appreciate it.

My favorite thing on their menu is the white sangria. It is SO amazing. Not too sweet. It has a citrusy vibe that makes it really light and refreshing. The red sangria is amazing as well. They have a great selection of IPAs and other beers too. I seriously miss living by this place so much.

The space was clean and organized, and I appreciated that they had everything ready to go when I arrived. They give you protective gear (which you definitely need!) and you "gear up" before walking in by wearing a mesh suit, hair net and cover your shoes too but you can take them off and just slide on their "socks" they give you . Once you're in there, it's just a blast--literally throwing paint on the canvas, the walls, and maybe a little on yourself too. It's messy in the best way, and weirdly therapeutic. You can also use their Alexa to play music of your choice and make it a fun vibe and have your own mini party. I really liked that you get to take home your canvas afterward, it's such a cool keepsake. You wait 24 hours to come back and once it is fully dry you can take it home. It's not something I'd do all the time, but for a creative, out-of-the-box experience, it's totally worth it. Highly recommend if you're looking for something playful and a little different to do in Gainesville. I love that they have so many options such as acrylic projects, string projects, painted glasses and other DYI experiences. You can set an appointment and come in at your reserved a lot. I'll 100% be coming back and already want to try one of their other DIY experiences!
