Dougherty Arts Center 1110 Barton Springs Road, Austin, TX 78704

"Another one star review for the adult classes. I had a really bad experience here and when I started talking to others about it I found out I wasn’t the only one. The ceramics program is poorly run, the rules aren’t clear, the teachers are pretty hands off, and the staff is catty. Once I was told I had a ‘behavior infraction’ on my record and not only was I not allowed to return but all of my work was taken by one of the higher ups and I was told it wouldn’t be returned until I talked to them about what I did… which I never found out what that was. I have talked to two other adults who have had this happen (one in tears) and one teacher who quit. I dropped my second class and wasn’t even refunded all of my money. Don’t waste your time with these creepy people, there are other places to take ceramics."

"150 seat theater with basic sound and light. Friendly staff."

"As a visitor to Austin, this was a fun little gallery that clearly punched above its budget. Excellent display area with nicely curated shows. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Easy parking, washroom and fully accessible."

"Excellent gallery and showcases some of the more exciting pieces of contemporary art by local artists."

"Excellent gallery with interesting art that rotates often. The people are friendly, knowledgeable and caring. Awesome events, classes and talks for artists and aspiring artists. A fun place with sense of community. Wonderful! Thank you all for what you do. Jefferson, who coordinates the events does a great job and I look forward to going back for the resources offered here."
