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!!

Besides being incredibly fun and satisfying, our session morphed into a Native American drum and card pulling experience. It was much needed therapy for both of us and I am thrilled that we'll have visual reminders of how special the evening was. We'll be back for more, for sure! P.S. Your experience doesn't have to be "woo-woo/spiritual" -- we were open to it. Make sure to go if you are too! If not, that's cool -- they'll keep it "normal" for you. ;-)

I didn't realize you could have a holiday party in an art gallery, but I guess you can. It was actually a very neat place to have it, because we could walk around and look at the art before the party. The art is for sale, as most galleries are, and of course, most of it is expensive and out of my price range. However, there was a wall with prints for $20 to benefit a charity. I thought that was neat. They also had Christmas ornaments and jewelry for sale. It's a neat place to walk through if you're in the Florence area. There's a parking lot about a block down, right across from the Central United Methodist Church.

The city is revitalizing the downtown area and this gallery seems to be one of the city staples. The gallery is very large and has a great presence from the street. Walking by you get a great view of the gallery without going in. Once you are inside the gallery, the space is large. This particular event had live music and tables. There was enough room for the bank and at least 35 tables. With the band, tables and food setup, there was still plenty of space to view all of the awesome artwork. The artwork was very nice. There were oil paintings, sketches, sculptures etc. The most memorable pice was large sculpture of a man and horse, which was about 7 or 8 feet tall. I didn't get to view all of the art due to the nature of the event. The event was more of a networking function, which kept me busy. However, I'd visit again because the artwork was beautiful and I'd like to view all of it without interruption. The curator was nice and knowledgeable about all of the work. He encouraged everyone to visit again for a more intimate experience with the art. The gallery was very easy to get to. There is plenty of street parking and a parking lot that is close to the gallery. I plan to visit again.

They change the exhibits out every two months so it's a great place to return to over and over again. The current exhibits upstairs feature Emily Furr and Jamaal Barber. I loved both artists and really enjoyed getting to see their work up close. Several makers in the building have shops open and there is also a small gift shop area in the front of the building by the art vending machine. I picked up a Coburg Cow pin designed by Emily Furr as a souvenir. Also, admission is FREE. They have a small parking lot behind the building and there is a free garage across the street. There is also lots of street parking available. If you go visit, I also suggest going on a day when Swank Desserts is open because it's across the street!

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.
