Granite AC is VERY expensive, and to fill up a high ceiling brick building will be even more expensive. The bands that play inside are local musicians, sharing their talents through performance art. With the wide variety of music that comes through their it is bound you will find someone you can enjoy. Now on occasion it can be to loud to talk or even hear yourself in their. Besides that, the people are cool that work and keep this place up and running. The artist that are there are talented and fun as well. I am a local artist there that has my art hung up sometimes and sells my clothing in the front room for gallery hop. For the location and the fact that this is a legit gallery the hanging fees and commission are fair. Each month is different, and you can not control the weather or how the economy is. It is hard to sell at galleries in general because of restricted hours usually. I wish there was a way to better view the art that is hung closer to the ceiling. Sometimes the detail of some ones art is missed out because of were it is paced. With such tall walls and so many artist wanting to hang up their art it makes it challenging, almost like a giant game of tetris. There is a wide variety of art/artist to choose from inside and outside of 83 gallery, so what ever you are into I am sure you will find it in there. The art in there has a wide spread of quality and talent as well. So check out 83 Gallery and support a LOCAL ARTIST!

We were a group of six and the only ones there, so we got to enjoy a seriously talented acoustic guitarist and had lots of help from the employee. It was such a nice evening - the music was lovely, and painting was much more relaxing than I expected. I haven't been to a place like this since I was a kid, so I wasn't really sure what to expect, but I liked that in addition to lots of paint colors there other ways to enhance your item - stamps, tape, stencils, etc. The staff member gave just the right amount of help - she was always there to answer questions when we had them but also gave us plenty of freedom to play around with everything. We ended up staying for almost two hours and had such a great time. I will absolutely be adding this to my list of places to take out of town guests, and I can't wait to pick up our finished items!

While this year…read morethey obviously had to pivot and go virtual, this art hop is just one of the many things that makes this neighborhood so special. I'm currently really missing the hustle and bustle on High St. that occurs on this first Saturday of the month celebration. Between musicians busking on the street to the art galleries opening their doors and the creative works that come out of the artists in our beautiful city, it's pure magic. A lot of the bars and restaurants will also have specials and fun promotions going on. It's my favorite to simply walk up and down the sidewalk, admiring the fun. I used to have a studio and participate in an art walk in my hometown of Zanesville and I really miss being on the artist side of things. That being said, I'm glad Columbus celebrates art all year around. I can't wait until the in-real-life hops start up again. I can only imagine the artwork that came out of the year that was 2020.

You know, that feeling of been there, done that, over it, ugh. But this time, a group of us made our way from a Kentucky Derby party down to the Gallery hop with a friend who had never been before. It was refreshing to see the Hop through the eyes of a newbie! And it definitely sparked my enthusiasm in the event again! We got down there fairly late (and so full of food and alcohol from the party) so we didn't stay long - just long enough to walk from the Cap to the White Castle, cross over, and walk back, all whilst stopping at a few shops and galleries. Its definitely much more fun in the warmer weather and I'm so glad that Columbus has decided to come out hibernation! Even though we didn't have a whole night of things planned, it was a fun outing. I prefer to make an evening of it. Getting dinner (pick a restaurant, any restaurant, they are all fun), doing a little shopping (window shopping most of the time!), after dinner coffee at Impero (http://www.yelp.com/biz/impero-coffee-roasters-columbus), *drool* any and all flavors at Jeni's *drool* (http://www.yelp.com/biz/jenis-ice-creams-columbus-2), and then a bit of alcoholic libation.

When JoAnn closed (RIP), I figured I'd just buy crafting supplies online but it's been surprisingly difficult to find materials and even harder to buy them sight unseen. Craft Raccoon is like JoAnn's but better priced and you can actually feel good about shopping there because everything you buy is reused and saved from landing in a landfill. Plus, the owner of the store is so kind and helpful. I've learned a lot just through shopping there. But if you want to learn more, they also have really fun classes - like how to sew a fish bag or a class on spinning (i.e., turning wool into thread). Go check it out! You'll be glad you did!
