The Art is very interesting and there is lots to see. I didn’t like the dj/ music because it was too repetitive. Also, the parking area is tight!

Place is cozy. Has beautiful art. Really like it. The parking is limited. You have to park on the side of the road. I was there for a salsa/bachata night. The music was good.

We had our wedding reception here and it was perfect. Julie is a pro and such a joy to work with and her crew is flexible and nice. Its a cool space for parties, art shows and I even dream of doing plays there. Highly recommend.

Huge hidden entertainment venue and art gallery in the heart of downtown Phoenix. Hidden upstairs speakeasy. Friendly helpful staff. Recommend to anyone looking to hold anything from wedding reception, music and dance venue, business meetings etc.

Venue was nice, artwork was wonderful, management was disapointing.For an organization that supports arts they dont pay the bands, charge for vendor spaces even after being sponsored by T-Mobile.Seems like theyre just in it for the money.At least someone in town supports artists so I should be happy.

I came here to see a performance. There was very limited parking here. I circled the lot a while before I spotted one of the last empty spots available.The gallery itself had a front section where people walk into and then there was a larger room. The larger room was a bit small than most other theaters but it did do a sufficient job for hosting the performers.

We went for the chocolate and art event. The local artists are interesting for sure, but a bit on the bizarre side and awfully pricey for unknown artists. The chocolate part? Lol. If you stood in line for an hour, you could get chocolate syrup drizzled over fruit. A bit overstated in their ad for the affair.

I absolutely LOVED this place. I had such a great time until I had to leave. Great entertainment, environment, location, and fun! There was so much to look at and see with all the creative energy through the air. Every where I looked or turned was something amazing going on. Never a dull moment. I cant wait to go back there to escape reality and responsibilities for a while. This time im not leaving until its over.

I had some pieces submitted to a recent show hosted here and the evening was well organized and high energy. A great place to showcase urban art and get exposure within the community.

Review №25

We came in here during the Bao festival. It was hard to see the artwork displayed for the actual gallery because they had vendors set up inside for the event. Some sculptures in the middle were very eye catching though. The outside was very crowded with limited seating, especially shaded but again, this was during the Bao festival, not a typical business day. Definitely seemed like a cool place and we will have to revisit it sometime.

The AZ Bao festival was here. Its a bit small for a festival. Definitely good size for dining receptions or art shows. The name of the venue speaks for itself. Theres no sign. It literally looks like an unused building!

Great place to go to every First Friday. There is a really awesome event that the gallery throws. The name of the event is Ancient Future. It usually starts at about 11pm and goes till 3am. There is art, music and performers. Great way to get out do something different and meet people in the community.
