Everything, from the planning, to…read morethe payment, to the accommodations, to the actual painting session-- it was handled so professionally and yet it still felt so personal, I couldn't have asked for a better experience, especially because I had a lot of issues settling on a date. Kate was the person who handled this specific interaction and I'm not sure if that is always the case, but she is such an easygoing person and was so understanding and patient during our communication, and when everyone showed up to get started painting everything was already set up and the environment was so relaxed that it was impossible NOT to have a good time! Kate guided me to choosing a painting for my party that would fit within the time limits, and the options are nearly limitless so there is definitely something for everyone! Even the boys had a good time! Again, Kate is so relaxed and patient that painters of all levels were very comfortable and she was very helpful in answering any questions! Good to know: they do have adult beverages as well as sodas and water available for purchase! All supplies, including aprons, are included in the price of participating! In short, we had an incredible time and came away with gorgeous "party favors"--our paintings! Would love to come back for a class!

At the beginning of the day, I was not even sure that we'd visit here. However, their website noted…read morethat you had to make an advanced reservation to be admitted (per my understanding), so I dutifully made a reservation for 2. As it happened, we were able to make it here around 2:15 p.m. or so on a Saturday. We had visited once before over a decade previously, so I had no real recollection of it. The museum is located within a mile of the loop highway around Athens. We arrived and parked in the covered deck. To access the museum, you then walk down away from where you entered. I found the front desk and offered to show the young woman staffing it our tickets. She said that she did not have a way to actually scan those, so we were waived in... I liked a wall-exhibit as you enter: large letters spelling 'WELCOME' but formed from several types of mounted security cameras (none or some of which may be active...). You ascend a long stairway. to your left is some temporary exhibits. These were more of the 'modern art' variety. A series of rooms about Hiroshima and another room with sensory nausea-inducing video. In the opposite direction are the more static galleries. These are laid out roughly in accordance with art styles or time periods. There is a room devoted to colonial / antebellum Georgia, one devoted to Impressionism, one to 1930's Depression-era works, etc. I enjoyed these more than I did the modern wing. We finihsed up and headed out within an hour. The exhibit is free. Unless there is some travelling exhibit that is of particular interest, I don't think I'll likely be back within another decade, though.

Possibly you take the drive to eat at chef Hugh Atcheson's acclaimed "Five & Ten" restaurant. But are you familiar with the Georgia Museum of Art? Reason in itself to visit Athens. With a diversity of exhibits in galleries filling the second floor, you're bound to view something -- perhaps many things -- that stops you in your tracks. Representation by the de Koonings, Renoir, Cassatt, Okeefe and other acclaimed artists, you will also be turned on to talent you likely haven't heard of. I was captivated by the photography of Jim Fiscus as well as the gallery featuring work of black artists. Regarding logistics: the museum is open every day except Monday. Check their website for hours. Parking is free, as is the museum. But if you can, consider putting a few dollars in the kitty to help defray expenses.

The quality level could easily rival that of the "big wigs" who come through Atlanta's major festivals. Furniture? Purses? Jewelry? Cookies? Dog toys? Paintings? Yup, all that and more, all handmade, just waiting for you to buy it (with a pretty sweet price to boot). Some of the shops also come out to sell, and you're lucky if it's an antique or vintage one that's out there - they cut me a few deals on spare jewelry parts to play with back at home! Oh but Athens and your painful parking, even during the day. I was a bit put off circling around to find parking and even worse for wear trying to locate food. I forgot that unless it's after 10pm, nothing in Athens is really open, and even then it's all liquor... I know for next time to bring some snacks with me.

You also get to pick your seats before you arrive which is so nice! I'm also a sucker for their popcorn always fresh! We even had one of my kiddo's birthday celebrations here and it was fantastic. I love party planning and they let me do it up in their spacious party room. Including letting me bring all table linens, feather vase centerpieces, a cake, table decor, a welcome sign for outside, two paparazzi cardboard cutouts I made that had flashing camera bulbs, a full red carpet (inside the room) and two 10ft Oscar balloon statues that I made. The only downside was that the movie she chose (The Goonies) wasn't available due to licensing but we had a backup and she had a wonderful time watching one of her favorite movies in an entire theater with all of her friends! They even offer snack packages that include drink popcorn and small candy which was great! It was a great Hollywood style affair and we had an absolute blast!! The theater planner and staff we worked with was great very friendly and helpful. Would 100% plan a party here again or rent out one of their comfy and extremely clean theaters. We recently saw The Sheep Detectives there so have to include that as well such a cute and funny film! If you haven't seen a movie here you're missing out go treat yourself!!

My experience here left a lot to be desired…read more If you are attending a large conference here, please be advised that they DO NOT have sufficient parking for all attendees. You will likely have to take rideshare or find somewhere else far away to park. When I attempted to park upon arriving at the Classic Center, an employee who was stationed outside the parking garage (to let people know it was full) pointed me toward parking for the courthouse a couple blocks away. When I drove over there, a courthouse employee told me that parking there is not allowed unless one has official courthouse business. So not only is their parking area very small, but they do not even give accurate information about where alternate parking can be found. It was incredibly frustrating. I ended up driving around for 30 minutes and finally settling for an expensive lot nearby just so I could get to my conference. Signage within the venue is virtually non-existent and employees are few and far between if you happen to have questions or need assistance. It's like they expect that everyone visiting this place has been many times before and knows the lay of the land, which is decidedly not the case. The sole reason I am giving two stars is because they did not skimp on air conditioning. It was on in full force the entire time I was at my conference, which is beyond necessary given the outdoor temperatures averaging 95 degrees with 80%+ humidity when I was in Athens. I would not have expected the air conditioning situation to go off without a hitch given the remainder of my experience here, but sometimes there are small silver linings.

Over the decades, Sanford Stadium has undergone multiple expansions, growing to a current capacity…read moreof 93,033, making it the fifth-largest stadium in the SEC and ninth-largest in the NCAA. The playing surface remains natural grass - Tifton 419 Bermuda - unlike many stadiums that have switched to artificial turf. Sanford Stadium opened in 1929 with a modest capacity of 30,000. It is named after Steadman Vincent Sanford, a key figure in UGA athletics and administration. Its signature feature is the privet hedges surrounding the field. These were part of the original design and remains a beloved symbol of Georgia football. The stadium sits in a natural valley between North and South Campus in Athens, Georgia, giving it a bowl-like feel that enhances crowd noise and intimacy. I haven't seen a game here yet. I visited the campus on a quiet day when there were no classes and found the gateway to the stadium open. Even completely empty, it's intimidating. I don't know if I can loudly say "Go Dawgs" because my daughter is a University of Arkansas graduate. "Wooo Pig Sooie! Razorbacks!" [Review 1393 of 2025 - 865 in Georgia - 24945 overall]

We walked through lush English gardens with reflecting pools, overhanging trees, down brick stairs and across broad lawns, to come upon the little stage tucked away, like a secret find at the far end of the garden. There were young loves in fancy dress & starched shirts on picnic blankets tucking away the remnants of takeout chinese, older couples uncorking glasses of merlot over plates of lamb and potatoes, newlywed grad students in shorts & t-shirts throwing back bottled beers, married couples pretending they were dating again holding hands after a delicious meal across the street (that would be us), and a general sense of merriment and kindness you don't often find at too-highbrow art performances. But, this is no regular community theater performance... these folks are AWESOME. Really well done. Really well-played and really accessible Shakespeare, with everyone in the audience (about 50--it was an almost-rainy night) laughing in all the right places.
