The…read morepersonable owner is a singularly effective promoter of her town and well worth spending a few extra moments for conversation. Every now and then the Purple Turtle Artisan Collective takes its proverbial show on the road for a pop-up store incarnation which is how I first encountered it, and her. So, how I first encountered them, the store and Amanda Scholz, the owner. I'm not sure if I'm clarifying, so I'll move on. If you're within an hour or two drive, or if you have the time to take a little diversion between the Twin Cities and Milwaukee, very well worth your time. However you won't be able to get the unique Sarasvati water color on canvas because I picked up the last one.

The staff was so friendly, explaining the pour system for wine, whiskey & brandy, as well as their food menu (sadly we had just eaten). The atmosphere was very warm and relaxing, and we really enjoyed the variety of art on display throughout the shop. They do have events (music performances, meet the artist, etc.) so follow them on Facebook or sign up for their newsletter to stay informed.

We're lucky to have the Heyde and the shows that it brings. The staff are super friendly too.read more

First time here to see Stomp and this venue was very nice and spacious. We had seating in the upper…read morebalcony of the facility and thought it was perfect view. I was very impressed how comfortable and roomy the seats were; it's not all the time you come across that. We opted for free street parking, but noticed some paid lots and valet service for an additional charge. If another show or concert is here, One thing, just be sure to allow yourself sometime to get a beverage and/or a snack, we tried and the line was moving at snails pace, so we passed on it. I was a bit disappointed because I dislike being without water and goshhhh, I was dry during the show, couldn't wait for a nice big gulp of water. I'd be happy to return to The Pablo Center At The Confluence. The few encounters we had with staff were friendly and pleasant.

It was a lot if fun and the sound and screen quality were excellent. As it is downtown, you'll need to park and walk a bit, but we found it easy.

We stopped in on a Sunday to shop for birthday gifts. As first-timers, we found the store to be…read morebright and cheery, and the staff greeted us moments after we entered. Tangled Up in Hue has a plethora of quality items that are locally made. We're talking jewelry, wall art, stickers & magnets, lotions and essential oils, honey, sauces & seasonings, candles, pottery, clothing, and knit scarves, hats & gloves. Also, it was all reasonably priced. So even though we didn't intend to buy anything for ourselves, you can rest assured that my husband and I managed to walk out with a few things just for us. My mom checked out ahead of me and was absolutely thrilled that the clerk wrapped her gift items in tissue paper and put them in adorable gift boxes. What a treasure in Downtown Eau Claire!!!

Amazing art from (mostly) local artists - stop in and check it out!…read more Wow, this space is packed with beautiful stuff from talented people!!! Words can't do it justice. You have to checkout my photos. Or even better, you should stop in and look in person. I'm calling the gallery itself 5 stars. The artwork is incredible and the displays are very nice. Everything is laid out nicely. I'm calling the customer service 2 or 3 stars. We were both pretty disappointed. I'm averaging the entire experience out to 4 stars. The manager or the "DIRECTOR" was a combination of disinterested, stand-off-ish, unfriendly, and snobby. She was far more interested in assembling a new display with another staffer than talking to us. She couldn't be bothered to greet us or to help us or to discover our interests, guide us, or use any professional customer service skill set whatsoever. Bummer. Everything has a price on it, right? Everything is for sale, right? I hunted her down a few times to ask questions but I felt like I was bothering her. And the other person never said a word to us. Oh, well. We walked out without opening our wallets. This is the kind of experience I expect from snobby people in Downtown Minneapolis. One of the big reasons I drive all the way to Hudson, Wisconsin is to avoid this type of thing and to deal with real, down to earth, friendly people. Ooops, not here though! I'm glad I stopped in but I probably won't be back to this one unless I see a different person working inside. And if I buy something, I'll track down the individual artist on social media and buy it directly from them. -Daddy Maxx Retro

I'll admit I haven't met or gotten to know the new owners and staff due to the pandemic, though I look forward to doing so. So appreciative of the new owners taking on a new business at such a difficult and keeping an amazing gallery in Hudson! The person who I do know at Seasons is Rachel. This is where I met her and now consider her an a friend. She has helped me find the perfect gifts and art for years! I'm not a huge buyer of incredibly expensive art. But she has sent art home for me to try in my space, helped me pick out frames for prints, even come out and helped me hang art. Thank goodness for her continuity there! And her wonderful shows! They are an incredible amount of work to set and video. I will be back more as things normalize!
