“"I got a girlfriend that's better than that She has the smoke in her eyes As we get older and stop making sense You won't find her waiting long" (Talking Heads) I've always loved music with quirky lyrics. Steely Dan, The Kinks, and Warren Zevon come to mind immediately. But that short list is incomplete if it doesn't include Talking Heads. For years I've read that their 1984 concert documentary "Stop Making Sense" was fantastic. IMDb says it "is considered by critics as the greatest concert film of all time". So a) when the film was re-released in a restored version to celebrate its 40th anniversary, and b) when I saw Real Art Ways scheduled week long screenings, well, I knew I'd be making my very first visit there. Tickets were ordered through their website, and that went super easy. There were seven showings available, and tickets were priced at $12 for an Adult, and $8 for Seniors and Students. After I ordered, the tickets were promptly e-mailed to me. When we arrived for the 5:15 show, we chatted with the attendant who was pretty friendly and cool. An afternoon showing of a Carlos Santana documentary was finishing up, so that gave us time to wander through RAW's three art galleries to check out the exhibits. We didn't buy anything from the concession stand, but they have quite a few beers and candies for you if you want something. Our theater seats were comfortable and the sound and picture were great for our movie. We were two of only eleven patrons for the 5:15 showing, and that was a shame because the concert film was an exhilarating joy to watch. RAW is quite a place- a nice combination of the arts and cinema, so if that's your thing you'll probably enjoy their monthly cocktail parties.”
“I had them do some frame work for me. I can’t say enough on how great of a job they did. Staff are very nice and their work is great. I would highly recommend this place if your looking to get something framed. Very reasonably priced. I will be returning and giving them more work..”
“This is a great center and probablie under recognized for all his contributions and work to for the neighborhood. Great shows and wonderful art displays. You will probably enjoy it. Become a member and support the Charter Oak Cultural Center.”
“Frame Dimensions does beautiful custom framing. Susan and Joe are professional and knowledgeable. I have had several paintings and photos framed and they are all unique and perfect for the subject. They take pride in their work and deliver a wonderful product.”
“I am coming back here at every possible opportunity, I love Bella, her work is the perfect style and she's professional as well as easy to talk to. All of my needs were accounted for and she was patient and did a fantastic job. Planning another visit soon.”
“Good experience results on how i make $7000 every week!!! This has been an incredible experience from day one! This wasn't my first time trading but honestly I didn’t know what to expect when I first joined. After much loss. God walked me through the entire process from start to finish, which was a HUGE plus! They made the entire process so easy and hassle-free! I’m very impressed! I will definitely be referring her to you all.”
“I've seen AJ Masthay posters around the music circuitry for several years. I'd have to say that it caught me by complete surprise that the art studio was only a half a mile away from my home, in West Hartford.There are open houses and other events held there. Keep an eye on his social accounts for hours and events. ...because like any self employed artist, "9-5" do not always apply ?”
“My daughter enjoyed art classes here she has learned alot. She will be taking another class. The setup is great and location is easy. How can you miss the red brick house? Parking is available and the instructor was nice.”

“What a great space! Lots of bright, natural light. I know that light can erode art somehow, but I wish more galleries would consider using natural light. What a difference! We saw a show spotlighting three artists: Lucia Liao, Art Scholz, and Shannon Gagne. There is a small gift shop. The gallery staff was friendly and informative. Other area art institutions will watch visitors like hawks, as if we're going to stuff a six foot painting into our purses. Windsor Art Center is not like that. This is free, with donations accepted. If you can't find the free parking, you should have your license revoked. Right now, this seems to be their hours: Thurs, 6 - 8 Sat. 10 - 4 Sun. 11 - 4”
