We had a blast!! Initially, the two men that came with my group later expressed that they didn't want to come to a painting event, but admitted afterwards that they had the best time. One even said that it was therapeutic. Will definitely do this again. The staff here are so friendly and patient.

I went here under protest thinking I would hate it. Not sure why, I think I just thought it would…read morebe one of those "forced fun" sort of outings! It was actually a blast. If you could watch and learn you could turn out a pretty decent painting (although my husband's is awesome!) I went my own way when they mentioned you could do your own thing, because I just didn't want the same two paintings in our house. They not only had several wines, they also had several craft beers and sodas. Best of, this one had ladies of the Moose Lodge participants, so everyone was required to bring snacks so we had a ton of finger foods. They also had a roaming artist who gave tips and encouragement. My painting is the trees.

I have taken about four classes here, with two different teachers. My artistic ability is about…read moreaverage. I love looking at mosaics. Therefore, I took two mosaics arts courses. The instructor provided a detailed handout how you do everything, and she was very patient with the class. Later, on my own, I ordered a marble mosaics art kit from Italy, using the skills that I learned from the two classes. Later on, I took two embroidery classes from a different teacher. The two classes had beginner students, and students had some skills. The teacher was very, very understanding with my limited skills. I particularly love to do embroidery. I found a new hobby! If I had time, I would take a class from each of these instructors again.

Torn how to rate this. On one hand over the years it's been a wonderful gallery that's been…read moresupportive of local artists and has nice receptions once a month and community based art opportunities. However... since the people doing the supporting has changed, the kindness and vibe has changed completely. The people that run it are downright rude, snobbish and elitist, none of which supports the arts and its patrons! As of 2023, we visited JP Henry's art reception July 23 and that was a joy and wonderful. However the serious grump of a woman with the German accent behind the counter was unabashedly and shockingly downright rude, obnoxious and bullying to the patrons! I found out she SITS ON THE BOARD of this organisation! It was the first time I felt uncomfortable visiting an otherwise joyous occasion. Disgraceful to not only the showing artist but anyone in attendance! I witnessed board member of CCAC give a young man a hard time from the moment he entered the gallery saying "Oh no, you better not start trouble!" ?!?!? And when he, like other patrons went to get something to eat she YELLED at him telling him it something to the effect that it was a "snack" and he wasn't welcome there for dinner? Way to drive people AWAY in droves! Now I was pleasantly surprised when we visited main street for a holiday theme thing and we went into CCAC and they did have an amazing set up of a wide variety of artists selling for the holiday season at great prices, which is how I accidentally discovered them a couple years back and have been to events and receptions and they were all wonderful but honestly if this lady has anything to do with the org, I will think twice before coming. What a downer!
