Great local art center. Free to visit…read more They offer classes and hold various exhibitions here. On top of that, they constantly exhibit art from local artists.

I loved this place! My friends and I came here during my friend's bachelorette trip to Austin…read more Shout out to her! So many of us on the trip really love crafty things so we came out to this mosaic place to learn a new craft. I have never done mosaics before, but truly this made me really want to learn! They had a lot of stencils that we could from. They're all priced differently and the staff was really helpful with telling us the average amount of time that certain sizes of the stencils would take especially based on the fact that all of us were beginners. I chose the bat stencil since we were in Austin and it turned out so cute if I say so myself! Super proud of it. The staff walked us through the whole process of choosing pieces of glass to use for the mosaics as well as how we can cut our own pieces from the larger pieces. I truly never would've imagined just how fun and satisfying it is to cut those pieces into the exact shape that you need for the stencil. It was a great place for us to hang out and socialize while getting to have a brand new experience. I definitely recommend grabbing a group of friends and trying it out yourself!

Absolutely amazing experience! I didn't know what to expect. I thought I can get a kit online but…read morethis experience was way better.

I am in my second session of classes, and I have already seen so much growth and improvement due to the wonderful instructors (shoutout to Hallie!). But truly, ceramics requires so much patience and perseverance. It really pushes you to be okay with making mistakes (because they WILL happen, especially when you're first learning to throw on the wheel). But it's so fun to see tangible improvement come from your hard work! Plus, I love how community-oriented Broad Studios is! This studio is truly so special, and I would highly encourage anyone who is interested in ceramics to sign up for one of their classes!

Totally classy yet very cheeky, my sister said it was her fav part of the whole day we'd planned for her.

Our teacher/model duo brought music and all supplies and took requests for music we wanted to hear. There was no touching and no crazy dancing... just cheeky art, fun banter, a very handsome nude dude, and lots of laughter and good times. The PERFECT event for any bachelorette or special birthday!

He said the gallery's name is a play off his name with an art emphasis. Rich shared that his gallery was the only African American art gallery in Austin, thus I was intrigued. Since we finished the Art contest judging sooner than anticipated, I popped by his art gallery also located in East Austin. RichesArt is mind blowing! The gallery feels like a full-on creative space. This is not your typical art gallery vibe with stark white walls where you cannot touch anything. This place is beaming with bright, bold colors that scream...this is art!!! The walls exude color, texture, life! There is a strong graffiti influence, mixed media, and pieces unapologetically authentic. The art gallery also serves as community hub. They host poetry slams, live jazz, a figure drawing class, art classes, and comedy shows. According to Rich, it's a creative playground for grown folks. While it was free to enter the art gallery, some of their events have an associated cost. The gallery environment is incredibly welcoming. A few folks were waiting to start a graffiti class. It appears folks come to RichesArt to connect and create. According to Rich, inclusivity is intentional and the gallery was built to reflect and celebrate culture.
