I've had 2 parties for my 3 and 6 year old kids hosted at Honest Art. For my 4 year old, we had…read moreRaya themed party that was immersive and fun for all. We had this party in the studio and it was decorated with a dragon theme that brought the activities to life. Kids had a great time and the parents enjoyed themselves as there was plenty of space for them to interact with one another (especially when it was cold out). As for my 6 year old, they put together an art project based on my kid's favorite artist (Basquiat). Everyone had an amazing time and enjoyed the Lite-Brite wall (a huge plus to keep the kiddos entertained). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Honest Art to everyone who's looking for something experiential for the kids. Also, it's certainly not easy to keep kids entertained and focused. The team at Honest Art really knows how to engage with children, which is a huge plus.

The staff are very very nice and responsive. Prices are very reasonable compared to to other places.read more

Although I am experienced with painting, they really break it down for you so you can be a beginner and leave with a beautiful painting. Went on a night where drink was included and it was cool. It also lasts about from 630-930 so you so get a few hours in, a canvas, instruction, paint, and a glass of wine (if you choose the night where it's included for about $30 to $45 dollars. I went on a $29 night. Would definitely take a friend there if they were visiting.

I may or may not, refer to as "my life's work." The vibe is pure fun energy--think upbeat music, cool instructors who actually make painting feel doable (even if your stick figures need therapy), and a bar menu that fuels the creativity. Wine in one hand, paintbrush in the other? Yes, another glass of Pinot please. Whether you're a total beginner or someone with a little painting experience, the instructors make it easy to follow along--and they're super encouraging, which makes all the difference. The space is clean, well-lit, and organized, with all supplies ready for you when you arrive. The atmosphere and energy in the room is infectious--it's hard not to smile while you paint, sip, chat, and laugh. Everyone that sips and paints should leave with paintings you are actually proud of! Bonus: they have a solid menu of drinks and light bites, which elevates the whole experience. Highly recommend Muse Paintbar. Excellent for creative date night, birthdays, or just something different to do. It's creative therapy with cocktails--what's not to love?

Several months ago my husband and I signed up for a quick tour of their school. There's a long…read morewalk up the stairs since they are on the second floor. It's not wheelchair accessible unless there's an elevator I'm not aware of. The staff are welcoming and friendly. They do offer workshops and classes for adults as well as for children. They should do more to foster a "no fear" approach to art to further build their community especially for those relatively new to art or believe they are out of practice. The classes should either be longer or their assignments be made simpler because it's tough to complete the art within the timeframe of most of their classes. This would grow a sense of accomplishment and possibly loyalty as well. I've taken a few workshops so far and have enjoyed and learned some new techniques. The students themselves are quite supportive and friendly which I love. I had an issue that was quickly and properly addressed so they do take their customer service seriously. I've only had one instructor at this point for the various workshops I've registered for and she's likeable and helpful. I would sign up for some more classes. The Hartsdale location is the closest to where I reside but still not the most convenient for me to get to so would absolutely love if they offered some online classes someday. They may have done this during the pandemic but have already discontinued them. I especially love the idea of their adult art shuffle and their studio series of classes. I'd recommend giving One River a chance. Sometimes they offer specials too so it's a great opportunity.

They are striving to bring the work of area artists to the downtown to offer color and life to the city. When you drive around White Plains, you will see many new murals that have been added as part of their public art program. I applaud their efforts and look forward to supporting more of their events, may of which are free to the public. The gallery just presented the work of contemporary fabric artists and was a great place to visit on my lunch break.

I just have to laugh!!!! I am a global collected artist and a resident of White Plains New York. I…read morehave had workspaces in Manhattan, Stamford Connecticut, etc. so just recently I decided why not bring more artists to my local neighborhood, and local Gallery Arts Westchester. I was shown a space about three months ago, I asked for a negotiated price, and I was told that there was no negotiation on the workspace pricing, OK no problem. I was hoping to be in "my space" in Arts Westchester at the beginning of June, though all of the management staff, was very uncooperative, very unprofessional, very arrogant, and just downright smug. Each appointment was set by management at Arts Westchester, and each appointment was disregard by the management staff. First, it was Covid, second continued meetings, third I was told I had to have a background check, at this point red flags are everywhere. My ethnicity is of mixed origin, in my heart, I was hoping that perhaps I might be overthinking, that the reason was leaning towards racism. Just because a gallery displays artwork from people of color on display, does not mean that racism isn't hiding in the shadows. Persistence is how Artists, or anyone looking to move forward in their career emerge and grow during their travels/careers. Today is Wednesday, July 27, 5:12 PM Eastern standard time, today I finally got the email, we don't want you at our gallery, not in that many words, still in a very arrogant and blunt email. I was told by the owner a week ago, (don't you have somewhere else to go?) (Followed up by you are not a priority!) extremely arrogant, extremely rude, extremely pretentious place, that includes all management staff that I have encountered. Once again a barrage of red flags. I do not leave reviews, although, at this place, Arts Westchester in White Plains New York, something is going on, beneath the hood, something just doesn't feel right. No, I am not being petty, I am sharing what yelp is made for, either positive or negative experiences in a business. In my personal opinion, Arts Westchester is a red flag place to be wary of. The management staff, is very unprofessional, except for one person, other than that forget about it. Also, the host that answers the phone, is amazing! I hope this helps if you're interested in pursuing a place in Arts Westchester, in White Plains New York. Please share your experiences if you have them. Love, strength, and positive energy always. Very respectfully, and always sincerely, Irrix Screen

We looked around I was wowed by beautiful, quality, artisan made jewelry and craft. Prices were very reasonable. Space was spacious and welcoming. I saw artwork that one of my friends might be very interested to purchase. I ask the owner (who greeted us) about that piece. He told us all about it, the process of work, materials and background of the artist. I highly recommend to visit this gallery, great energy, quality artwork and friendly owner (no snobbish attitude staff that you might encounter in NYC galleries).
