Wish I had more time! Wandered through fewer than half the spaces and saw just a ton of fun, beautiful and inspirational work. Had a lovely chat with two of the artists. This was my alternative to visiting a museum in downtown and I’m really glad I did it.

The new installations in this space always bring a smile to my art loving face. We had the pleasure of getting to meet the artists of the main installations on First Friday, it was insightful and riveting. I would definitely recommend going and checking out the work these wonderful craftsmen have created. Dont be a square, Vicent Van GOOOO to Art Space.

Ive been here many times either looking at their exhibitions or just walking through the different artist suites, admiring their work. The exhibitions theyve had in their upstairs area have shown some varied pieces from many different artists, I even bought a piece from an exhibition they had a couple months ago. They also hold many cool events showcasing their artists in residence. Its a great place to appreciate (and purchase) local art!

If you love art, you will love this place! Artspace is one of the best collective studios I have had the chance to visit in a long time. You really feel the emotional depth of the artwork. And the exterior building its self is very trendy looking. If your looking for a nice date place or just to see some art Id recommend artspace

Such an interesting place to visit. Artists work and sell their stuff in the same room, so I got a chance to talk to Paul Gala while looking at his wonderful paintings. Many other talented artists here, too. Id definitely recommend checking it out if youre looking to explore downtown Raleigh

Love ArtSpace! I have only been there to take my K-5 students on field trips. I have been extremely pleased with the creative art activities that are provided for my students. I am also constantly impressed with the art on display in the studios and love that it is a creative, collaborative, welcoming space where you are free to speak to the artists (if theyre in studio & welcoming guests) about their art. It really is a cool and different place to visit.

I recently walked through Artspace with a visitor from out of town. We really enjoyed it. There were a number of artists working and most were very friendly and talkative. Also, even for those studios closed, you could see in to view the artist work. I think this is a neat place to walk through when visiting downtown Raleigh.

Artspace is an Art Studio & an Art gallery in downtown Raleigh. Art classes are also held in Artspace. It has spacious halls, where different events are organized. I went there for a Fundraiser organized by Triangle Muslim Association (TMA) in collaboration with Helping Hands.

Great place for local art. Best time to visit is in the evening of the first Friday of every month when most of the artists are there and their studios are open. There is also live music, free snacks are set out, and wine and beer are available for a small donation.

Perfect date destination. My husband and I strolled along and enjoyed the different art. We went on first Friday. Its amazing how many different mediums are used. There was wall art, metals, sculptures, modern even jewelry. You can meet the artists and purchase the art on the spot. After we had dinner at Bu-ku. It was a perfect evening downtown Raleigh.

I remember taking classes at Artspace as a toddler, and decades later, it remains just as much a wonderful pillar of the community. Artspaces calendar is full of classes and events for all ages and skill levels, the staff are very friendly, and non-artists can find plenty to do as well!

Review №44

This beautifully creaky old building has been around forever. The old car dealership turned art studio still has a few remnants of its past if you look closely. First Friday is always fun here. Theres always at least three galleries open and then the 30 or so studios full of very different work. If you go any day other than first Friday though, you get more of an intimate experience although the artists are always happy talking to you about their work. Just make sure you go Tuesday through Saturday; otherwise, youll be disappointed.

This is a nice little art center where artists dedicated to their craft will come and work on what they have in an open environment. Nice facility that will seem creepy at first but will feel cozy after talking to a few artists or the receptionist.
