I reached out to A.R.T. and was in communication with Francisco (the owner) to rent out space for…read morean art camp I was holding. Unfortunately, my experience working with him was unprofessional and frustrating. A few examples: I was told that to be included in A.R.T's August calendar, they would need a confirmation and deposit by August 5th. I paid the deposit of $200 on July 31st and submitted my poster along with the blurb by Aug 4th. However, I wasn't included in their newsletter. I had to follow up a couple times by email and phone to remind them to add me to their website. When I visited his store for the first time, he told me I could stop by the store any time I wanted, but when I did stop by, to ask about the lack of signups for my class, he cut me off mid-sentence, made me wait for 15 minutes, and then sent me home without a resolution. I ended up losing $200 on my deposit, which he claims was nonrefundable, despite his not saying so upfront. I would advise anyone considering partnering with A.R.T. to make sure all terms are in writing before making a payment.

Now don't get me wrong they have nice items that are very overpriced but supporting a local person I can deal with it! Unfortunately not everything in this store is local, I found kids toys that were made in China, a rag doll to be precise for $20. It's an awful shame that their story says they focus on local makers.

It's a great comfortable place to go when you need to get out but it's too hot/cold outside. They're usually open until 8pm so if you needed a gift or some other item quick, they'd be easy enough to get to after a regular work schedule if you live in or are visiting the area. All of the sales team that work there are super friendly and can assist you if you're looking for something in particular. It also smells lovely in there - probably due to the candles they house in store. Happy shops!

I was able to make a vase for my plants and it came out super cool with the guidance of the instructor. She was wonderful and so patient and had great tips for techniques. The place is small so not for a giant group but great for dares or just something to do with family or friends. In the front you can get a drink or snacks, and they have little trinkets you can buy. Great for last minute gifts or need a gift idea, definitely stop by here. Anyone wanted to build pieces with clay should definitely try Elly's place.

They have a cafe in the front and a cozy section for the pottery activities in the back with a plethora of cute pieces you can choose to paint. For our reservation, they had all the tools/paints/brushes/aprons ready for our group.

Beautiful new specialty store. They have candles in every scent known and some unknown! I have to…read moresay that even with my allergies I was not overpowered by the store smell. The odor was subtle. As I was looking around I did see some other products. They obviously specialize in Candles. I saw some related merchandise. Very little else but candles. Do I use candles? No. My daughter was looking. Attentive sales associates were available if she needed assistance. We were not pestered to purchase anything. Items that were reduced price were clearly displayed on the entrance table. If you like candles and shop in this mall you may want to stop in. You could spend an hour smelling all the various scented candles. Lucky for me my daughter did not linger too long today. She is a candle lover.

The stuff is cute, but there are about a hundred stores in the city that sell the same items for a better price. They must have a big problem with shoplifting because at least three of the staff were patrolling the aisles and watching customers like a hawk. They sell the $60 Labubus so the store was busy, but half the customers put them back on the shelf when they saw the price. I'd say this is a cute place to look at if you're nearby, but do your research on more reasonable options in the city before you spend your money here.

Even if the coupon says "Use in store and online", I was told by an employee, they don't honor them in that particular store, unless you go to the cashier. since there is only one, you have to wait to use your coupon. I witnessed another customer try to get her 20% discount for applying to the Michael's credit card. After completing the entire process and getting approve, the cashier told her "We don't honor that policy at this location." Lastly, they don't properly label prices. Beads labeled at $8- $10 on the display ring up at $11- $14 at checkout. This didn't happen once, but the last 6 times I visited this store. it's disappointing that for this being the only arts and crafts store in the area, after putting smaller stores out of busines, that they operate like this. On google the price hikes are blaming inflation and tariffs but Michael's charges $21 dollars for Ranger ink pads, when they are $14 at Ranger's own website.
