★★★★Valene ByrdAxis Gallery at Verge Art Center gave my son Mateo such a beautiful opportunity to feel seen as an artist 🤎🎨 Watching his artwork displayed in a professional gallery space was emotional, inspiring, and affirming for our entire family. The staff was warm, welcoming, and intentional about uplifting young artists and creating space for their creativity to shine. Thank you for supporting emerging youth artists and making families like ours feel included in Sacramento’s art community. We truly appreciate the experience and look forward to future exhibitions ✨
★★★★★Dawn AlbrightWent here to take class of stone lithography printing. That phrase may be redundant, but I learned a lot, had a good time, and left with a print I made from start to finish. The Verge has all kinds of art classes, as well as temporary exhibitions in their gallery.
★★★★★Janet S. ReganWhat a great place! We attended a class here and found the environment and people to be simply awesome. Having Axis Gallery in the building is a bonus. The Members' show alone is worth the trip.
★★★★★Callie KramerI took a pottery class workshop at the verge as well as walked around the gallery. This is a fantastic place for artists of all ages and for anyone who is curious or interested in learning about art. I have been multiple times and have had great experiences with the staff and teachers who run the workshops. The staff are all very kind, professional, and very nice people. Truly a great place. Definitely coming back again.
★★★★★Richard PodnarA wonderful place to let creative juices flow, even for those of us who are less artistically inclined. They have lots of interesting exhibits, courteous staff and scores of stimulating activities. Highly recommended for all ages!
