The studio space itself is well-maintained, organized, and conducive to a productive and focused creative process. They offer all the tools you need to create and additional clay can be purchased throughout the session if needed. The selection of glazes that they offer to finish your projects are beautiful. Additionally, the Peggy McConnell Arts Center frequently hosts events and exhibitions that provide opportunities for students to showcase their work and connect with the local art community.

The theatre is intimate and there is no bad seat in the house. The chairs were comfortable too. Columbus is so lucky to have such great talent like Derek DiCenzo, Reggie Jackson and Robert Floyd. The Bobby Floyd Trio's show "All That Jazz" began with a documentary about this incredible photo taken for Esquire in 1958 Harlem that gathered together so many great jazz musicians. Bobby, Derek & Reggie rocked the stage with Dizzy, Sonny, Basie, Thelonious. The ticket prices are quite reasonable too.

The murals on the outside are great, too. I'm sure they will be glad when the construction across the street is done, but in the meantime parking can be a bit confusing due to lack of signage about where it's legal. But keep supporting them in the meantime - we need more spaces like this!

Very cool gallery that I wish had a little more popularity…read more It's a small space but you still see a good number of paintings and sculptures. I came a little past 1 on a Saturday for an exhibition and it was only us and a volunteer and an intern. They said that they typically don't get many people here unless they have a huge event in which the artist brings their friends to the reception. Still, I wish more people knew about it. They do events here once a month and have an annual festival in early September! Be sure to follow their Instagram and Facebook for more updates! It's volunteer-run, so if you're interested in helping them out they welcome it! They had a few appetizers out, coffee, and juice. The juice was very refreshing! There are a few murals around it and on the building itself. There's a parking lot to the right of it that I think is theirs or you can do street parking on Starr Ave. I'm coming back again next month!

I came here on a Thursday evening just to do something creative and explore Columbus a bit more. Despite the GPS getting me there fine, i struggled a bit to find the entrance itself but came in to find a big bright studio full of color and fun paintings, with the instructor on the phone helping other lost folks guidance on how to get there. I did manage to find signs that guided me to the entrance thankfully! The instructor and owner introduced herself and we eventually got started. She took us step by step and broke down each step to the size of brush and way to do each technique on the canvas. She walked around and helped all of us along the way. It was a small class of 7 so we got lots of one-on-one attention but I can see how in a more packed class that would be a challenge. She was very patient, encouraging, and super complimentary which I loved! She didn't rush us out of the studio even though we ran late, and since we were a small class she even gifted us a free glitter application on our paintings which is normally $1 extra. The cool thing is she also sells older paintings for $5, so you can check out previous projects and shop before, during, and after you paint. It's a BYOB kind of place but she has corkscrews, wine glasses, and a deal with the bar next door if you choose to order food. The only negative is that the class was supposed to start at 6:30 but we didn't start until after 7 which ended up having us end much later than 9:30, but nothing that would deter me from coming back here and bringing friends as well!

It is a Y -dimensional dominated space, it goes up like a turret in a castle. But the its efficiency and design makes it uber useful and comfortable. Cohatch has over ten thousand feet of personal office space, conference rooms, a game room, and a coffee bar. Dominated by a visual appealing open stair spiral the place presents with tables, work areas, and geometric forms that suggests inspiration and creativity. They must spend a majority of their cost on cleaning because the place sparkles with stainlessness and polish. These immaculate halls are adorn with tasteful earth tones enhanced by daps of primary brights, variously matching light fixtures, and framed metal flanking borders, mirrors, and panels. The overlook room, where my meeting happened, is a large space wi5h all the essential needs. Nice booths in the corner gives the conference room a cafe feel, and the multi-armed chandeliers add a smack of class and artistry. The windows look down UA adding--believe it or not-- a kinda urban, cosmopolitan feel. It was a nice place for a meet up.

Capable of hosting, larger groups, I have attended several times the Columbus Metropolitan Club lunch meetings. The acoustics in the main hall are great, and it was easy to see and hear everything on the program. Large windows allow natural light to enter the space, and this is supplemented by other facility lighting. A great choice for event planners. I would point out that the on-site parking is smaller in capacity, and while street parking is available, this is something that needs to be thought out and clearly communicated to event attendees.

The food was delicious. We were delighted to learn they are able to accommodate for many food allergies. The only inconvenience is that parking is available about 2 blocks away or on the street. We had someone drop us off and pick us up which worked well. When we left we noticed a security/police vehicle parked nearby so it felt like a safe venue especially if you had to walk the 2 blocks to the parking garages. It is located in the Italian Village district near OSU. We would recommend this venue for your special event. Thank you for a wonderfully delightful and safe evening experience.

The campus is beautiful, the teachers clearly love their jobs and the girls, and CSG looks to be the best place in central Ohio to get a college-prep education. Baby K might go there. I say might because it is outrageously expensive. So, start saving now. But it is worth it. There are so many opportunities at CSG (and there are scholarships.) The world is your oyster, and the support for students and alumni is impressive.
