Edit. Dropping a star because this is not the first time I've registered for a class and shown up only to find it cancelled without having been provided either notice or a proactive refund. I had to request one instead of doing what was first offered to me (which was taking a different class if any actually happened to be open). While the front desk staff were very polite and helpful when I arrived this is just such a frustrating experience that I think I'm done with the space for the foreseeable future. If you want to take painting classes or do children's art I guess that's a good thing but it seems like all other media are subject to more frequent cancellation. The lack of communication cost me time and energy and kept me from making other plans during the six weeks the class was supposed to run, including some things it's now too late to take part in. Will see if refund shows up; I got an email confirming it.
Edit: refund did show up, as expected, so at least that was handled. Still not understanding why they continue to offer sessions of the same classes that never seem to happen while taking money for them in the interim. If people aren't signing up for those classes, why continue to show them as options over and over again, accepting money?
Old review
I enjoy the concept of this space and feel good about the experiences I've had. I do wish, however, their offerings were more expansive in some areas. Some other writing workshop styles and classes, for instance. I took a beginning pottery class and enjoyed myself even though I'm absolutely terrible at wheel throwing. (Not because the instructor was bad but simply because I'm not very talented at it.) I like the gallery exhibitions as well
