Sweetwater Center for the Arts

★★★★★Rahul Raghavan

We booked the location for a birthday party and the location is wonderful. The event hall is used on weekdays for art events which gives it a beautiful art decor feel with the tables having the paint marks all over it. The event space is huge and there is access to a kitchen right around the corner with refrigerator for storage if required. There are restrooms including family friendly ones in the hallway. The staff at the site were very friendly and responsive. The booking was done online and we were able to connect with the centre staff over call to address our queries. There are around 8 parking spots at the location but there are ample street parking options around the corner. It is located very close to the sewickley downtown where there are multiple restaurants and shops. The art centre is located within a service road which can be confusing for folks visiting for the first time (google mapstakes you to the spot correctly but highly likely someone would miss a turn unknowingly), giving a direction indication might help the visitors.

I visited Sweetwater a few years ago for a pottery throwing class and I had the best time! We spent a good deal of time learning and throwing and then we had several pieces at the end of the workshop that we were able to come back and pick up! I'm interested in trying some of their other classes now. As an adult, it's intimidating to learn a new skill and find somewhere to go that's affordable and friendly. This place was perfect!!! I went for a date and would recommend it as a cute date night or a place to go with friends.

We had an INCREDIBLE experience with Chef Andrew learning about the foods of the Philippines and Guam! He was dedicated to the history and culture of the cuisine, passionate about remaining true to the traditions of the dishes - while also connecting the traditions to modernity, but more importantly - his hands on method of teaching creates an atmosphere of education, support, and teamwork. As someone who prides themselves on knowing their way around a kitchen and who has taken a few classes for "fun", I can tell you that this is the place to be. You'll leave happy, full, and with a deeper understanding of the menu. We're looking forward to our next class as a couple - and our child's first class, this summer!

I love Sweetwater! It is a great place to not only take a class but support locally as we need more art centers in the world- not more Banks! :)

My son participated in a clay camp this summer and absolutely loved it! It was a week long class and they made so many different things! He had a blast and will definitely be returning next year. The price is a great value for the amount of things the kids get to bring home. I'd recommend for any age group. They offer a wide variety of classes that any artsy child would love!
