A friend of mine who is also a artist who showed here tolled me about this center my daughter and her school brought us here a lot of great Artist work I highly recommend this center to any one who enjoys art and to other artist such as myself come and enjoy the gifts that our creator blessed us all with to shear with the world God bless!
I’m going to preface this by saying, my event was about 3 years ago, I’m writing about it now because it still bothers me that it happened. I had my baby shower here because I was wanting a classy and more sophisticated type of shower. We had two full cars of decorations and food. We had payed for a certain amount of time and I understood this. It’s a beautiful location and everything looked nice and was comfortable. My issue and the reason for my rating is the customer service was lacking and insensitive. I was right in the middle of opening my baby shower presents when the front desk person came in and told us we had to wrap everything up, he was not very nice and seemed put out that we were there at all. From my understanding he wanted to go home and my baby shower was in his way of leaving. We had almost reached our limit of time which I understand, but he didn’t ask if we wanted to pay extra to extend our time, which I would have done since it was to be my only baby shower. Instead we were unceremoniously rushed out of the venue. I would recommend this venue because the courtyard is beautiful, but only if you are willing to pay extra ahead of time for more time then you will need so you aren’t pushed out the door before you time is up.
It is wonderful and lots of local work my grandson had a sculpture there and award show
This was a great Arts and Crafts show, we had a very nice time. Local alcohol inks artist Anastasia Kenner was there and she talked with us about classes that she offers. This photo does not showcase her most outstanding works so please check her out. There are so many really good artists that work out of The Arts Center.
