The best part about this Gallery, is that the artists are here to greet you, and they are super friendly. They also offer classes to strengthen your own art skills, from beginner to advanced levels. They also offer layaway and the art is very affordable. They also have a wide selection with hundreds and hundreds of pieces to choose from. I'm particularly fond of Gail and Marlyn. If you are in Sandhills shopping, make sure to check out this art gallery. It's the best store in this whole Shopping Center.

Plenty of natural light and offerings ranging from photography to impressive oil paintings make this spot a must visit. We were greeted warmly upon entering and I chatted with the knowlegable and friendly volunteer long enough to learn that they offer First Friday events with music, food and beverages and a chance to meet the artists of some of the work. While I didn't see anything I absolutely loved this trip aside from a few photographic pieces, this will be on my 'must stop' list in future visits to SC to see what new offerings they may have. How refreshing to see local art displayed alongside the usual mall findings in the Village! Great idea!!

Unless there was a moment of safety, he would let us do everything. Other than gathering the glass on the blow pipe, he was true to his word. His manner of teaching was one of the best that anyone could ever ask for. He was kind in how he spoke, he was direct in his instruction. Because of his directness, which was as polite as anyone could hope for, we all knew what he and Ryan (other instructor) wanted from us. Tommy's demeanor is the reason that I will be back to the store and future classes. Customer service is at its greatest when one can ask a question and get an answer that explains everything.

Great dollar value if you're interested in all locations mentioned. The museum was easy to find and offered plenty of parking in a lot shared with the EdVenture Children's Museum. They had many exhibits that our 7 & 12 year old enjoyed but they thoroughly enjoyed the second floor galleries with the dinosaur exhibit and the habitat exhibits. Staff was very friendly and helpful when fielding our questions. They also enjoyed seeing the the history of SC through the years represented through artifacts and the changes from the colony, war, and industrialization of the city with mills and the railroad. They also have a planetarium and a 4D shows offered throughout the day. Highly recommend adding this to your itinerary if you are in the Columbia area! The selection of exhibits were fun to see and educational.

The museum itself was ok, the other exhibits weren't that exciting. The planetarium was cool though, definitely watch a show while you are at the museum.

Luckily, my…read morefriend and I were in an adventurous spirit as we walked past it on our way to a coffee shop and decided to stop in. It can be best described as a "co-shop" space... there are a few different shops offering a variety of ideas from vinyls, art pieces, apparel, to herbs/wellness. Not only do they sell items but they tend to have workshops on Fridays, and Saturdays that vary from sewing, journal making, herbal mock tails and more. (You can find what's going on through their Instagram). We loved Errapel located here as we were able to pick herbs out that would help with certain wellness issues like anxiety, insomnia, concentration and more. The owner of Errapel took her time to explain them to us, guide us and was a delight just speaking to her. I would say it's worth stopping by and seeing if any of the events or shops interest you.
