Flower City Arts Center

"I've taken a few ceramics classes here and even rented a shelf for a while. The classes were wonderful; great instructors and a super welcoming atmosphere. I think it's decent for students or people looking to try something new, but if you're a ceramics artist looking for a studio to work out of, I don't think this is a the place. They're overloaded, so it will take weeks to get glazed pieces back. Many of mine were chipped, had bits of the kiln shelf stuck to the bottom, or were just lost once I put them aside to be fired. My tools were stolen and never returned on a few occasions. My pieces were constantly moved around while i was gone. The department rarely answers the phone and the voicemail was always full. All in all, there were just too many frustrating factors and I left. Super disappointing especially after waiting months for a shelf to open up."

"I visited for the Flower City Invitational, and it was great. The art was beautiful. The volunteers, staff, and artists were all very friendly. And the snacks were delicious."

"My son and my nephew taking art classes for free thanks to a program between flower city and their school. It’s awesome. They are very polite and respectful. My sister and I are very happy with the program and the tutors."

"Took a beginner wheel throwing class here and had a great experience! Learned and lot and had fun doing so. Covid hit towards the end of the class session and 1 or 2 of the final classes were cancelled and we were told we would be refunded for those cancelled classes. I never received my refund even after leaving multiple voice messages."

"Absolutely love this place. It's in an old fireman house. You can take classes to learn how to letter press if you would like. We had our wedding invites printed there and they came out amazingly."
