Beautiful space, great place to hold a venue! Very spacious, I attended a wedding there and it was…read moreelegant and just worked. Saw some art there one time, it was made for art it just works.. like a bouquet on a brunch table. Honestly you could do anything there.. a mixer, a paint and sip, that fits right?? Art and wine..yes please. You could hold a ballroom dancing class, heck you could hold a ball like a gala style benefit. Since I mentioned it perhaps a brunch type thing like from 10-14, everyone likes brunch and mossas maybe toss some puppies in there just for pettin, no.. what about a humane society fashion show, get them all glammed up and showcase them, talk about their likes and dislikes, their aspirations. Bunch of boozy young to middle aged adults high on Prosecco and crepes, lot of happy snooterdoodles getting homes.. why stop there.. maybe you pop an hours on both ends, 9-3 or 4? Of course it would be on Saturday.. duh. Maybe there is a screen set up in a corner of the room with all kinds of cozy bean bag chairs and blankets, pillows. On the screen it's playing nothing but Tom Hanks movies, this event is now from 9-5 so 8 hours of Tom Hank's blockbusters, Turner and Hooch, You've got mail, a man called Otto, Cast Away, and terminal, that lest one doesn't have animals but it is wholesome. For the first half like till 1 ish everyone can watch Tommies movies, snuggle pups and drink classy breakfast cocktails. What of the announcer is a little old man with a bow tie and his name is Hank. Hank Loves dogs and maybe he gets a little emotional when he talks about how bad they need homes.. that's going to tug on some heart strings.. you just drank 4 bloody Mary's and watched Tom fall in love with a stray cat and then Hank Gets up to showcase a poor puppy in need! He talks about how his late wife Darlene loved helping animals and her dying wish was for Hank to be happy and make the world a better place!! He pulls out a HANKerchief and wipes a solitary tear and smiles and says: I have had a wonderful life, and now it's time for Sampson to have a Wonderful life too, and a hopeful volunteer walks out showcasing a needy dog who has a big smile and is wearing a handsome vest, cause he gets a little cold sometimes.. awww. He love sleeping in the bed, under the covers and his favorite treat are little cubed sweet potato bites.. Hank says: he's a good good boi, and I'm hope that someone has it in their heart to give Sampson his forever home, and if you can't have pets then we hope you make a donation. What's this event called you ask? Hankering for Homes, I just got goosebumps typing that.. i hope that someone who has the money and drive finds it in their heart to organize this event, I would really like to attend... I digress, this is a fantastic venue with plenty of possibilities, but let's be honest, it was made for Hankering for Homes.

Passion Works Studio is an inclusive studio where artists with disabilities collaborate with disabled and non-disabled adults to create art. Their belief that art enhances the quality of life and strengthens communities is one I truly believe in and the fact that they work with disabled adults is so close to my heart as my brother is a disabled adult. Whether you live in Athens or not, you have the ability to purchase their official Painted Passion Flower (which is the official flower of Athens). It's made from recycled aluminum printing plates from the local newspaper and the hand-painted by artists of the studio. They are each as unique as the artist and they are truly beautiful. If you're looking for a special holiday gift, check out their website to make a purchase. I know you'll be as blown away as me!

This place has some really beautiful pieces. It has both local artist's work as well Fair Trade work. The shop owner was very nice and very knowledgeable. I found her to be very eager to sell things. She said, "It's for sale" or "Is be happy to sell it to you" several times. I understand she's a small business owner and needs to sell things in order to stay in business. But, I also understand that everything in the shop is for sale. Regardless, I did find a few things for myself as well as for gifting. As with most art galleries, it's not cheap, but you're also getting handmade goods. As for parking, I parked on the side of the building. I'm not sure if there is another parking area away from the traffic of Lexington Ave. I'd love to go back and look around again sometime.
