“I LOVE The Artsy Place. Whether I’m at the Florence location or the Muscle Shoals location, this is one of my favorite places to go in the Shoals area. The staff are always helpful and friendly! My daughter and I enjoy painting in studio and sometimes get to-go kits to bring home as well. We have been going since before she started school. She’s 15 now!”

“The Florence and Muscle Shoals locations are both some of most well run businesses I’ve encountered. Morgan and all of her staff are always friendly and ready to help. They keep their social medias constantly updated with what is going on and any unexpected closings. Through the years I’ve created some of my fondest moments with friends at The Artsy Place. If I could rate them 10 stars, I would!”

“My friends and I attended the Pints and Paints event at the Boiler Room with The Artsy Place. We had canvases that were pre-sketched for us to fill in and paint on and the girl that lead the class was super friendly and helpful. She walked everyone through the colors, shading, extra shapes, and how to make the canvas look great. One of our friends decided to paint her own thing and it was a great night.”

“Had a wonderful time in their ceramic class! I'll definitely be coming back for more art classes in the future!”

“I absolutely love this place!! Quality fun for the whole family with events and hours posted on the Facebook page! The whole staff is courteous and helpful. We always look forward to trips at both locations!”

“Skyler is an amazing teacher! I signed up for a wheel class and was able to make a bowl. She explains things so well is kind and encouraging, if you have any thoughts of taking a class.. GO! It’s so fun and relaxing!”

“My daughter loves the artsy place! She always has so much fun painting. It is such a unique place and I’m so glad we have something the kids can enjoy in our area. Also, they have a coffee shop which is a plus for us parents! If you haven’t been to the Muscle Shoals or Florence location you are missing out!!”

“I just love going to the Artsy Place! Everything is so clean and organized. The staff is so knowledgeable and helpful. They really encourage you and make you feel like an artist! The Artsy Place has so many options for you to make, and it makes it even more great that I get to make it myself! I would much rather make my own than by it at some store that is way overpriced! The owner, Morgan, is also just so wonderful in every way! She is welcoming and loving. She could be everyone’s best friend, while also being professional! And of course, I can create while drinking COFFEE! (Yes, they have a drive through!) Their coffee is WAY better than Starbucks or Dunkin. Not only would I try this place out, I would drive out of my way 2 and a half hours for this place! Because I actually have! Thank you Artsy Place for helping me create memories and have fun!”
