Every style, medium, and vantage point you can think of (or not know about) is here. It welcomes you via the front windows and swaddles you as you walk further in. And the team here are some of the friendlist folks you will meet downtown. And recommendations? They have plenty. They've been there for over two decades so they know a thing or two. Of course they can give you background information on each of the artists' whose work is in the shop and sometimes even some insight on the piece itself. But I also want to highlight a aspect of AOB that I constantly make use of; framing. Once you make it to the back (after joyful hours of looking at everything while en route), you will see a workshop area. There one or two team members will always be hard at work (though never too busy to answer questions). I have brought quite a number of posters, prints, and paintings over the years in search of their guidance in what frame to choose, how to frame it (matte/no matte/thickness of-color-etc.), and even the optimum glass. And every time they have come through. When I ask them to push me out of my comfort zone (aka, solid color frames), they did and my piece was the better for it. Their presence and their services are invaluable to downtown and our community. If you haven't been, or if it's been more than a week, I recommend you stop in soon. You can thank me later.

This is an interactive experience that is part mystery, part history, and all an around amazing performance by everyone involved. Plan far longer than your imagination could anticipate as you wander through the wonders of the world Peter has built for all ages to lose themselves in the magic of his space. The entire staff is spectacular, every performance is one of a kind. I have been back multiple times since first discovering it in telling everyone I know about this perfect space for a small crowd looking for the best time. The bang for your buck is amazing, and layered. The price is $17.96 for 9 and up (the year the dime was invented) and for children under 8 it is a dime. All ages are delighted by this spectacular space that is a travel of performance through all the ages. Do yourself a favor and plan a night with your favorite people at your new favorite place in the world!

I'm taking a lovely figure drawing class at the moment, with a wonderful teacher who gives individual feedback & a small group of serious artists (myself, a dabbler, not included). You climb up two flights of curving stairs & over broad-beamed rough-wood floors, and painted-over fireplaces, walls covered with (at the moment) children's art... its kind of worth a visit just to climb into the attic for an art class. Anyway... loving it and learning a bit about figure drawing in the process. $200 for 8 classes... not too bad.

The Curated Palette experience Westobou was fantastic. I learned how curators select art and had the chance to curate my own art with food. The featured artist during my experience was aort1982 . You can find his recent work tacomadreoriginal . I enjoyed following the story he told through his art and learning how the curators chose to tell the story with the placement of the pieces. Group Recommendations: Book as a group or at the same time as space is limited for this experience. Solo Recommendations: Come to enjoy being with others but honestly I really enjoyed this as a solo excursion because I like admiring art in silence . #authenticaugusta#visitaugusta#csra #augusta,#georgia

I don't know about parking. Mrs. K. and I found ourselves lingering longest in the glass gallery, where the craftsmanship becomes almost hypnotic the more you study it. Some pieces feel impossibly delicate, others bold and architectural, and tucked among them was the one name I recognized immediately, Dale Chihuly, whose museum we last wandered through in Seattle. Seeing his work here, in a completely different context, gave the whole collection a sense of continuity across regions and styles, almost like running into an old friend in a new city. Beyond the glass, the museum opens into a thoughtful survey of Southern art that moves easily from landscapes to portraits to sculpture and even furniture, each room offering a slightly different rhythm. The landscapes in particular have that quiet, atmospheric quality Augusta does so well, while the portraits feel intimate without being fussy. Sculptural pieces and period furnishings round things out, giving the galleries a sense of depth and texture rather than a single through‑line. It's the kind of museum where two hours pass without you noticing, and you walk out feeling like you've had a conversation with the region rather than just looked at objects on walls.

There is a lot of hard work that goes into framing that I was none-the-wiser until I came here. It also takes a while, so don't expect to have your pieces framed the day-of.

All of this was with my reaching out to her. when i ordered the frame i was give a price of 199 and then 225 by her. when I picked it up after making fruitless trips there thinking it was ready, I paid 248.00.
