There is a dedicated parking lot,…read morefree snacks, sensory headphones upon request, and a safe grass space for running around after the show! The staff was friendly and helpful. They also usually offer a treat like cookies during the concert too. The kids get to dance in the front and interact with the singers - we saw Ants Ants Ants and Red Yarn. There is no pressure to stay in your seat for those who are wiggly or for baby wearing parents to walk around. Other concerts and events here are super affordable and amazing for the community. We have also taken music classes here in the upstairs art gallery space and I know they have a cool pottery studio in the basement as well. Support the arts!

Beautiful, well-appointed venue. We attended a small wedding here. There were about 75 people in…read moreattendance. The stained glass windows and gothic style wood ceiling added beautiful decor for the wedding photos. Located in downtown Hillsboro. They have a private parking lot and street parking available. The venue was clean and well laid out. Bathrooms were downstairs and an elevator available for those who couldn't take the stairs. Kitchen was on the main level, which made the food and beverage setup and service convenient. The wedding was catered and everything was wonderful. I'm not sure how much it cost, but the bride, groom and family seemed very happy. Would recommend.

I had never experienced this sort of event so I was nervous but they helped me through it and were very patient. I was painting my ridiculous looking dog, Peanut, and didn't QUITE finish in time. Britni took the painting for me to put the finishing touches and I was supposed to pick it up the following weekend at another event they were having. I was super busy moving that weekend and FORGOT. Doh! I was being a real pain in their backside but Ms. B went out of her way to get the painting back to me a few days later at my place of business. We Make Art goes above and beyond for their customers! Cheers!

I have the honor of being the first to review AWS. My daughter has been to several art classes. She…read morehas a definite eye for creativity and she loves to express in many ways. She has amazing line work and ability to show depth perception. These classes are allowing her to expand her knowledge and improve her skills. Unfortunately I am unable to hang out with her while she learns, but that probably is for the best. She amazes me with every "masterpiece" she creates no matter if it is at AWS, Ceramic Café , or right at home. She will be returning for many more classes to come. Thank you.

We were unsure where to have a party for our son's birthday and were glad that Art World School had…read morethe option of doing so. The art instructors were very patient and friendly with all of the students and made the projects very fun. Aaron was really fun and kept the kids entertained while we waited for the projects to begin. Mimi helped me plan the schedule for the party and checked with my son on the topics he wanted for the art. Both were exceptional instructors. They also decorated the place with balloons and banners and set up goody bags for the kids as well as gave boxes to take the art home. Communication planning was very clear and quick. The kids were very creative! Was a very nice experience overall. I highly recommend having a party there or just coming by for some classes!

After receiving the detailed information on the class this won't work for me and they are refusing to refund my money. Literally, two days later and no service has been provided (the class doesn't start for weeks). I was told it's part of their terms. When I reminded her I have never been provided her terms, not did I make any agreement to them, she emailed me a copy of the terms. I would not do business with any school this shady. You can even cancel at state schools and colleges if you do it within the timeframe (which they provide upfront).

Crafts and drinks, who could ask for more?! I was in Portland for a work trip and we booked DIY Bar…read morefor our team of 27 as a fun hands-on bonding activity. They had the perfect amount of space for us! We booked a 4 hour slot on a Wednesday evening, and they allowed us to bring in some catering for dinner. They had a vast menu of different crafts, with materials like macrame, cement, leather, and more. The prices were $39 or $44 depending on the crafts, with more add ons. Each of us chose our own craft and were provided the materials and tools. Each table had some basic tools like scissors and tape, and they had a wall of paint, stains, and string to choose from! I chose a macrame yoga mat holder, so my craft bag had some rope and wooden rings, and I got to use a vertical frame with a hook clamped to the table to help with my weaves. Each craft has very detailed instructions and the employees checked in regularly and helped when we needed it! I had some frustrations because I was struggling to pull extremely long pieces of rope through knots I was making. The owner came by and gave me some tips to make it easier, and brought over some rubber bands to help bundle the ropes so it wasn't as difficult to make the knots. I highly appreciated his attentiveness and helpful tips!! I wasn't able to finish my craft in time so they gave me a copy of the instructions so I could finish at home. Overall, the employees were so helpful and made sure we had a good time! They also had some drinks on tap, I got a prickly pear seltzer which was really yummy! Overall, this was such a fun experience & I highly recommend booking for teams. I work in a virtual environment so I only see my team a few times a year. I really enjoyed being able to do a fun, creative, hands-on activity with my team. It was a bonus to have catering and drinks so I could take some breaks to mingle and walk around and see my teammates' progress on their crafts. Thank you DIY BAR for a wonderful experience!!!
