Teacher Janet Blixt is not only incredibly talented as an artist but also gifted as a teacher. Her…read moresoft demeanor and loving encouragement brings out the best in my three daughters as they express themselves in drawing and painting. My girls always remember their first class with her where she read them a book called "Ish". It was a special book about how things don't have to look perfect to be perfectly made they just need to look "flower-ish" or "house-ish". It was a great way to allow the children to understand that their art could be uniquely theirs.

Beautiful, small art shop located in the corner…read more My friend took me here because he loves the artist who puts famous buildings and photoshops it in the middle of no where - really great concept! The employee that approached that was very friendly. She explained to us about the artist and how he was able to do it. After looking at that artwork, we looked around the store and found some really interesting place. I found this shop more interesting than most museums, to be honest.

I picked up some great photographs by a local artist here over the weekend. The items I selected…read morewere on consignment and were surprisingly inexpensive, though I felt like the prices on the other items in the gallery were marked up a bit high, but that seems to be part of a larger trend evident at galleries all over the place, so I can't really fault them for that. They seemed to have a large selection of work by local artists which I think is fantastic. The glass art that was on display was gorgeous, even if they did have quite a few glass pumpkins mixed in there. I'll be the first to admit, I do not get the whole glass pumpkin thing, they are everywhere! Do that many people really like pumpkins? Or are there just that many women running around with Cinderella complexes? Anyway, they had several (non-squash) pieces that I would've loved to have come home with. Maybe next time. The staff at the gallery was friendly and helpful without being overbearing. I would definitely check them out again.

We took about 9 autistic kids ages 7-12 for a summer social program and the staff was incredibly…read moreinhospitable. First -for checking in the lady was upset that we showed up despite someone calling and letting them know ahead of time. The staff kept yelling at the children to stop running when they in fact weren't. One of the kids was stimming out of excitement and one of the ladies scolded her to stop. One of our boys was called a girl (be assured he cannot easily be confused for a girl). When one of ladies learned we were going to chapman town splash pad her response was, "you better watch your a**es out there" In front of the children which was absolutely inappropriate. The staff was ableist, made racist comments and overall made our entire group feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. Do not recommend this place for people with autism, neurodivergent groups nor kids.
