Can't speak for the art classes, but this is an awesome place for an event. Carolina, the event coordinator, was SO kind and helpful. Loved working with her. The space itself is so unique and beautiful. Pricing is very reasonable. And there's a parking lot! Going to recommend this place to everyone looking to host a gathering in the city :)

Having taken a few classes, I find it to be a very mixed bag. On the one hand, it is heartwarming to have a place that strives to offer a variety of art courses and to be welcoming to everyone. On the other, it is more like a community center where the goal is to offer some activity, but not instruction. The stakes are kept very low, too low to create a real sense of accomplishment. There were a few awkward moments, odd for a school environment. At one point I ran into a "I got a friend who likes urban sketching, do you want to go sketching with him" type of unsolicited offer from another student, which was inappropriate. I also had one of the instructors ask "Where are you from" of a student just because she had an accent (and in front of other students). This was grating.

What a hidden gem! Seriously - this was one of my favorite spaces I've ever photographed in for a wedding. The location is great - there is a close by parking lot. If you need spots for portraits, just go outside and pick a direction. Is it raining? Totally fine - luckily the inside is GORGEOUS. The staff was nice, happy and helpful! I can't wait to be back.

My Alma Mater as a young artist of nine years old in Saturday sculpture classes. Attended drawing and still life classes most recently. Staff is great. Relaxed atmosphere.

Flemish Er is an incredible art school, and to top it all they throw themselves to be a strong part of the community. If you have an opportunity attend one of their many festivals .... worth every minute you spend there!
