This is a great little arts center that always seems to have something going on. I went for a paint pour class and found the price of $25 to be very reasonable. The class was small to, so you will receive one on one attention if needed. The gallery was also a nice experience before the class.

Love the murals! We weren’t able to go in since it was closed, but I’m pretty sure it’s just as beautiful.

Came to an embroidery class and had so much fun learning something new. The staff was very helpful when finding the classroom, same as the teacher giving the class.

The park is very beautiful and clean. There is a beautiful botanical garden around the street. It is a lovely park. Watch your vehicle carefully. One of our staff members car window was smashed and a purse was stolen at 3:30 pm with 300 people nearby. There was loud music so no one heard the sound of the glass breaking. People also attempted to blend in with our staff.

This is a free art gallery located in Garfield Park. It has a very large parking lot. Currently, you must wear a mask inside here while visiting. The entrance leading into here sets the tone and has a wonderful mural on both of the walls on each side. They hosts various classes (Voice and Piano Lessons with Kathy Kilgo, Flow Painting, Clay Handbuilding Studio...) and special event such as Family Art Night, English Country Dancing, and Valentines Art Night Out, here throughout the year. The Gallery is relatively small, but packed with a lot of different art of all skills and levels. The gallery features local art, performances and music on 2 floors. They has revolving featured artist exhibits. They are located along the walls of the second floor. While I was there the work of Bryan Bromstrup (Ain't That America (Somethin' to See) and Mary Beth Schrock (Painting With Light: A Visionary Art Experience) had exhibits up. Even the bathrooms have painted murals in them in this place. You can purchase some of the art prints in the artists' special exhibit area, which I think is cool. On the third floor you will find a piano and the best art in the gallery. It also has a huge open floor that can be used to host performances and special events. Off to the side of the main Hall is a library. There is local music playing throughout the gallery on the 3rd floor. You can look through the CDs that they play there, but you can't take them. There are stairs or an elevator to get you up and down the stairs, so pick your poison. I just did the stairs because I found it way easier to get around. The building has a lot of history. It was built in 1922 and was called the Community House. There was a pool there in 1930 where the parking lot currently is. Not too many people visit this place outside of special events and field trips, which is sad. I was the only one in the Center during my visit. It was just me and the attendant at the front desk. I had the run of the place. It took me about 45 to 60 minutes or so to get through. This is a nice, free event that is good for the entire family and could be coupled into a visit to Garfield Park. If you are at Garfield Park during the Center's operating hours, you must check it out.
