Art More Place is so much more than an art studio. This is a place you can plan parties with…read morefriends, meet wonderful people, and create beautiful things for yourself or others! All this in a colorful environment safe zone. Don't worry about spilling paint or doing it differently-all is accepted here. Women will especially enjoy Sit & Stitch Salad the 2nd Monday of each month,. The sisterhood keeps growing as women help each other, share their work, and their dreams. As for the classes, there has never been a place in this area since I have lived here as far as I know. There are classes on jewelry, mosaics, soldering techniques, textiles (I made my own cloth), resin jewelry, and much more. Artistic instructors have come from as far as Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and even Australia to teach at Art More Place. Fearless leader Sherri O wanted to create a place that offered artistic adventures as well as community and she has done a great job. She is open to ideas to meet the needs of art loving people seeking instruction. You can find Art More Place on Facebook as well as www.artmoreplace.com

What an awesome find, a true treasure. It's wonderful that Melbourne has an arts district and Fifth…read moreavenue Art Gallery really stands out. Its a must visit place in Melbourne, tucked away near the water. The variety of art done by local artists is noteworthy. I'm a recent transplant to the area from San Diego CA and I found more quality pieces in Fifth Avenue art Gallery than I did in San Diego arts district. Places like this really mark Melbourne as an up and coming area. Support the arts and visit this gallery, purchase original art, you will be glad you did!

I have visited Betsy's Art Studio several times and have had such a great creative time. I choose…read moreto do a stitching project following Betsy's guidance and I love what I was able to do. There are so many projects to consider and the guidance of a master artist is always available. Im not in town as often as I like but when I am, a visit to Betsy's is a must. Its a very relaxed atmosphere and no pressure to be perfect!! Try it-you will not be disappointed. A fan from Kentucky!

it's small business Saturday! So glad to meet this artist... I have several of her pieces at home…read moredid not realize they were from her as I bought them through my friend Kasey or online. The shop is absolutely wonderful and for the next couple weeks she'll be doing a pop-up sales 9-2PM. All kinds of discounts and great variety. This would be a great place to shop for Christmas. One of my favorite things hint hint was the pottery based wine glasses.

I have always wanted to do a painting class and this was so much fun. I decided it would be really…read morefun to do this with my mom since our birthdays are one after the other. I also invited our family and some friends. It was everyone's first time taking a Painting with a twist class and we all loved it. They allow you to bring your own drink and food. We brought wine and a charcuterie board and it was so easy to munch and sip through out the class. I loved how they have the stations set up and aprons to use. They play fun music and the class is very easy to follow. I was surprised by how great we all did and it was very cool to compare our art at the end. The teacher was very sweet and had a great personality for teaching. Overall the class was worth every $ and we would love to come back and do another class soon. As locals it's great to try something new in our neighborhood.

It really doesn't matter if you are artist or not...just go do it…read more.. I didn't know what to expect, other than spending time with good friends in what I figured was a painting class. What I got was a fun, entertaining, and truly special evening all the while painting (which I had never done in my life. The moment you walk in, the staff helps with the selection of colors, the prep and points you to your assigned seats (written down by name!) Then that's where the fun begins. The artist walks you through, step-by-step on how to pull of the painting - I had my doubts I could actually do it, but even though I'm saying this myself, I think I did a pretty good job. There was friendly and fun banter throughout the whole process, a break period where we had a fun game drawing a cow (or was it a giraffe?) and even someone won a prize. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I'm already looking forward to going back again (and more.)

There is a large framing studio in the back and while I was there a customer came in and the owner spent time working with them. It didn't take long to know she knew what she was doing and had tears of experience. The store is filled with cards, awesome gifts and kitschy items. I was in one of my happy places. I bought several items including a couple of gifts. The store also carried local artists' work. If you get the chance, check out Art Expressions!

The Eau Gallie Arts District is a cool part of Melbourne, Florida to spend a bit of time…read more There are murals and cool shops. There are also cool restaurants and bars, as well. In my opinion, a townor city needs to have a neighborhood with a funky, eclectic soul like this particular neighborhood. If you find yourself in Melbourne, Florida, I would definitely recommend checking out the Eau Gallie Arts District.

Eau Gallie is a historic Florida settlement in what is now Melbourne. This area of Florida is known…read moreas the Space Coast. The first settlement in Eau Gallie was established in 1859 when John C. Houston received an 80-acre homestead on the north shore of the Eau Gallie River. In the late1800's the area had thriving pineapple plantations and land was selling for $1,000 an acre until the freeze of 1894-95 which killed off the pineapple crops. The Eau Gallie Arts District is known as EGAD. It is a Florida Main Street program created to bring revitalization to the historic downtown Eau Gallie area by adding murals to the buildings. In November 2017, 19 murals were added to the downtown creating an outdoor art museum. The murals are part of the Anti-Gravity Project aimed to "elevate outdoor spaces, generate positive community energy, and showcase the EGAD as the growing epicenter of innovation on the Space Coast." The historic district includes the Historic Rossetter House Museum and Gardens, the Eau Gallie Public Library, Pineapple Park and restaurants, galleries, and shops. FM Pizza and Joan's Perfect Pies are two businesses you don't want to miss. The Eau Gallie Arts District hosts various events throughout the year. One of the most popular is First Fridays when you can stroll down the historic Highland Avenue and visit the different shops, galleries, and bars that host events and exhibits. Other popular events throughout the year include Whiskey in the District, An Evening in Paris, and the Rocky Water Brew Fest. I love when art and history come together so this was a really fun place for me to explore. Unfortunately the downtown arts recently suffered a blow with the closing of the Foosaner Art Museum whose loss will be felt for years to come. In the future EGAD will see the former art museum into a 180-room hotel by Northboro Builders who purchased it, a parking garage built, and more retail businesses added to Highland Avenue. Hopefully as they focus on getting bigger they won't loss the old Florida charm which was what made this such a delightful place to visit in the first place.
