My husband and I started taking lessons in April 2017 in preparation for our first wedding dance later that year (August). For someone who is prone to traditional and conventional oil paintings, this artwork is highly educational and stimulating. Burley uses the aesthetic of animation to explore themes of representation of the image-baring nature of African-American women through her own beliefs. Ostermann is an artist who investigates the intricacy of ecosystems and the impact of environmental destruction through delicate hand built ceramics and fiber sculptures.

Two current exhibitions are by Carmen Ostermann in the main gallery and by Annie Chrissy Burley in the loft gallery. Established in 1976, the brick Italianate building is one of the largest and and most welcoming art galleries in central Ohio and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The space also includes a ceramics lab in the basement and painting and weaving labs on the upper floors. Open from 1 to 4 and 7 to 10 on Monday, 9 to 4 and 7 to 10 on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and 9 to 4 on Friday and Saturday, it is a combination of two art galleries and teaching space, primarily for visual artists and crafters.

The 38,500-square-foot space offers adult art classes, exhibitions, workshops, tours, lectures and gifts. Located at 139 West Main Street, overlooking Bicentennial Park, it is part of the city's Scioto Mile tourist district.

The Cultural Arts Center in Columbus, Ohio, is singled out as Central Ohio's premier visual arts center, a hub of artistic activity and inspiration.
