★★★★★Matt Amante

I have attended many exhibitions here, shown in them, done a solo show with them, and interacted and worked with them for years. This place is a fantastic resource for out community and a great place to visit and enjoy.

The boys (and I) took classes at Emerge this summer which have been a lot of fun. Quality teachers and great project ideas for the children. I feel, as someone who went to College for Art, that the instruction is top-notch🤩

We held our staff retreat here and had a great time learning handbuliding together! Gail is a great teacher and is very supportive. Check out their website to see what packages they offer. We chose the package with a two hour art lesson plus 1 hour in a private meeting space. They offer these packages for anyone and I can assure you it's a great experience for coworkers. Emerge was very fun, accommodating, and professional!

Emerge is the home of Pitt County's Art Council and it is an incredible asset to the community. Aside from its role as a gallery, which provides artists and organizations an important opportunity to showcase their work. Emerge also serves several other critical roles within the community... A place to take art classes, for both adults and children, (specifically amazing summer camps!) An intimate venue for local musicians. A crucial linchpin organization in ensuring that the arts are are strong part of the Pitt County community... And no exaggeration but there's even more... An amazing gift shop, a great place to book an event or a nice stop on an afternoon exploring uptown Greenville. If you have not already had a chance to visit, I highly recommend a pop-in. Especially on a First Friday on a month when the new exhibitions are on display.

I love this place! Local artists line the walls and cabinets. When you shop at Emerge, you are supporting local artists. I have taken many art classes at Emerge and was part of the pottery community that used the ceramic studio in the back. I spent the better part of a year making fish-scale tiles with which I tiled my kitchen backsplash. I loved working at the studio! I can't wait for the in-person art classes to return!
