A couple of years ago I decided it was time to frame the hockey puck that my dad always had sitting…read moreon his desk. I took it to Visual Expressions and they were up to the challenge of finding a way to frame the puck. We have become frequent customers of Visual Expressions over the last few years and bring everything to them. They do quality work in a reasonable amount of time. Just today I dropped off my wedding day memorabilia to be put in a frame. They worked with me on the layout and selecting the matte and frame. I trust their work and opinions in the layout (I do not have an artistic eye like they do). I am very excited to see the final product when its ready!

It's been almost 5 years now since I moved to this area. It wasn't an easy move for my teenager. I…read morewas looking for an outlet for her and decided on purchasing some classes for her. It was easy to select the classes and the schedule was easy to work with. The instructor helped guide my kiddo with her projects. They helped unlock my daughter's hidden talent. She was so focused on digital art that I thought it would be too challenging to work with paints, chalk etc. I believe they helped develop a budding artist. They were a starting point for her interest in art. She is currently enrolled at the University of Texas at Austin in college level art building on her experience. I recommend for anyone who wants to explore their inner artist or develop their existing talent.

Attended a yelp elite event with this group and it was so much fun! I'm not sure how the pricing…read morestructure works, or if wine and cheese is *normally* included, as these breakdowns weren't provided for us... however, it was a lot of fun either way! The experience included a topless server (male) for our party, an instructor and a nude model (also male). Something else that wasn't specified was if you had a female model if you would also have a female server? So not sure on that. I would guess she would be in a bikini or bra top as no nude photography is allowed and they walk around during the entirety of the event serving drinks and handing out pencils as needed. This would be a fun event to celebrate bachelorette parties (obviously), but you could also utilize their services for any type of gathering. I can so see a ladies night in with my friends doing this, but she also mentioned divorce parties (in which case can we have a group of male models I'll take 5 thank u), birthdays for the artsy friend, baby shower because clearly they've seen someone nude and nobody likes baby shower games (she didn't say that but I couldn't resist).... anyways, I digress. The only thing I wish I'd had more of was explanation. Some of them felt kind of rushed and I had no idea how to shade which was detrimental to my artistry (jk my hands are detrimental to my artistry more than anything else)... Would definitely do this again!

One painter's prints that I was recently checking out was Larry Van Dyke. Awesome artist! They also do excellent framing in their shop. Offering a huge selection of framing materials that are reasonably priced for those that are looking for a great deal. Their work is superb!

So, is it called 1976 because many believe it is the most consequential year in the history of modern China? (It's Chinese-American owned). Or is the birth year of one of the Law family siblings? I'd guess it's bridging old school 1976 analog craftsmanship with the digital revolution-led letterpress and screen printing, since the store is the intersection of traditional craftsmanship and modern design, with a fully operational letterpress studio (they produce their own stationery), housing vintage, antique printing presses. They also curate independent art and host hands-on workshops. So, the name We Are 1976 suggests a collective identity rooted in a specific era, and their tagline "our dear assembly" is likely their way of saying, "This is the group of people, machines, and beautiful objects we have gathered together." Honestly, I just went in looking for a bathroom. They are 1976 but I was #2.

My husband bought two tickets for their Drag Brunch for $15 per person. The event site led him to…read morebelieve the entertainment, food and drinks were all included in that price. So we show up and there are menus with prices on the table. We ask if we need to purchase food and drinks and they say yes. Ok, fair enough- it was too good to be true, although the event page was not very clear about this. Then I ask if we need to go to the bar and order or if we'll have a server. One person said we would have a server and then the server told us we had to order at the bar. I placed an order at the bar for chips and guacamole, quesadillas and avocado toast. And the avocado toast never came. The few servers they had were running around trying to get enough tables and chairs in place because there weren't enough already set out for the number of tickets they sold. You know how many tickets you sold, how did you not know how many chairs you were going to need?? Then the drag show finally started 40 minutes in and she spoke mainly in Spanish. You're hosting an event where you encourage people of all races to attend and the entertainment doesn't even speak the language of the majority of the guests in attendance? Way to alienate more than half the people in the room. And the entertainment overall was just boring for a drag show. They didn't engage the crowd and barely did anything that could be considered worthy of the $15 each we paid strictly for the "entertainment." Overall this was a really poorly executed event. I know it was their first event but It's not that hard to organize a simple event like this with some minor forethought and planning, which clearly no one here did. Definitely won't be back. Head to the main part of Bishop Arts instead where you can find real good food and actual value for your hard earned money.
