Our instructor was lovely; however I will say the class felt a little fast paced, it was 2 hrs but both my boyfriend and I felt rushed and thought the class should have been 3 hours. It was a bit stressful catching up with the instructor at times. However, it was still overall a really fun time and a unique date idea :)

Small and humble but fun photographic gallery in Pittsburgh's up-and-coming arty neighborhood of…read moreGarfield. An absolute hidden gem if you are looking for something less well-known than Pittsburgh's famous "big" galleries and museums. Regular exhibits of black-and-white photographs are displayed on the wall with accompanying text explaining the thought process and motivations of each artist. The photographic art displayed here is often socially conscious and utilized to make points about gender, class, and culture. While those points are made with varying degrees of success, the photographs themselves are always quite intriguing. In addition to the gallery, there is also a reading room. Several of the photography books are for sale, but it can also be used as a library space. If you want to learn about classic photographers and their art, there are more than enough books to give yourself a thorough education as an autodidact. I have only one caveat about this place that should be taken into account. I want to point out that if you are going here with younger family members, discretion and close supervision should be STRONGLY advised. There are certain visuals you may want to steer away from. The content occasionally goes well beyond PG-13 territory and occasionally into R-rated or NC-17 photography. The gallery portion for example is not unfriendly to nude photographs, and the reading room contains NSFW and explicit titles such as Nan Goldin's Ballad of Sexual Dependency (among others in a similar vein). With that caveat aside, however, Silver Eye Center Photography is one of Pittsburgh's hidden treasures and is very worth your time.

All six of our items had sentimental value and they turned out perfectly. We have more items that we want framed and we will definitely take them back to Carrie. We feel that the price is fair.

We were having a surprise 60th birthday party for our friend and we're able to bring in catered food and our own alcoholic beverages. They were very accommodating to us, allowing us to set up a little early and then allowed us an extra hour (which we paid for) after the 2 hour painting session. The instructor was very nice and guided us through the painting process step by step. She had an assistant who made sure we were well stocked with paper towels and paints. In the end everyone had a respectable painting to take home. Some of us are more talented than others, but it was fun nonetheless! If you're looking for something different to do to celebrate a birthday, this is a great option. They also off a full calendar of events you can attend solo or with just a friend or two. They have many different classes to choose from. And of course they have holiday themed ones as well.

My last visit a few months ago was to see the works of my good friend Rick Bach, a renowned artist who now resides in DC but still does so much work in and around Pittsburgh and our region. The layout is well planned and the usage of an old building adds to the aesthetic of a modern gallery. It's large enough to display big sculptures and other installations. A South Side gem for sure.

Set $15 fee to do open play Thursday thru Saturday evenings. You can bring your own food in, and there are many tables, chairs, couches, etc to just hang out at. Over 50 pinball machines and arcade games to play. They also have pool, darts, and foosball. There is something here for everyone! LGBTQIA+ friendly! This place is open and inviting to everyone. We killed 3 hrs without even realizing it. We will probably be throwing a birthday party here soon. Very fun little hideaway spot!!

We were able to do BYOB and played UNLIMITED PINBALL! What a dream come true! Most all of the machines are in working order which is better than any other pinball arcade in the area. That's because this is a mom and pop business and the people here are part of the pinball community. They fix their own machines, which is so impressive! It's the love of the game! They have eight whole decades of arcade machines running here. There's machines from the '60s I'm amazing condition. All in all, this is an amazing spot for a birthday party or a date night. Do a double date, bring some booze and play four player pinball where you take turns at the flippers.

If you are pricing custom framework or frames, I highly recommend including this place as an option. Inventory, and selection of frames, is unbelievable. Since I am not very familiar with custom frame prices, and matting, I had no idea what kind of cost to have in mind . Nor did I have any real idea on how I wanted the finished product to look like. No worry, that's what professionals are for. I was very pleased with the service and guidance I received. They were very helpful, honest, and patient, during my decision process. I was given several different options, and price points, to choose from. Once I made my selections, a work order was made-up, and my customized order was ready as scheduled. I will definitely keep their services in mind for any future needs. They also stock plenty of giftware lines, seasonal items, and collectibles .
