Inspire Community Fine Art Center

This place is such a great offering for our community!
Although I have not taken a class here, they offer many different choices for adults and children that sound awesome. The staff are all very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. The center itself is in a brightly painted house and is very welcoming inside and out.
During our Unilocal Elite event, we were able to sample some of the fun things they do during their free Saturday art events. We participated in a wine bottle painting for a wine bottle tree, along with creating our own sculpture that is on the side of the building. So fun!
I also visited during one of their awesome FREE Saturday events, where they had tons of centers for kids and adults to make some art. For FREE! (Did I mention it’s all free?)
They also provide classes for neighborhood elementary schools and do other awesome things for San Antonio. I love it.
So whether you have kids, no kids, art skills, or no art skills, all are welcome at Inspire, and I encourage you to visit. Support this wonderful art center!

we attended the art on the spot open house event tonight at Inspire at the invitation of Unilocal.
The studio is right off Broadway a little bit down from the witte, tucked into a neighborhood in a converted 2 story.
You can always trust an art studio with resident cats! several were loafing on the sidewalk when we walked up.
Bright and colorful inside and out with art by instructors on display.
staff was very friendly, and introduced themselves and told us a little bit about themselves and the studio. we were also introduced to some of the instructors.
Class offerings cover a lot of skill levels from beginner to accomplished artist.
work on a group cooperative piece was encouraged and I was given an apron, paintbrush and instructions to create. My reluctant hubbie was also coerced to join in and seemed to get in the artistic spirit, adding several touches to the work.
Atmosphere is definitely INSPIRE-​ing, nice energy and vibe.
Fall classes are starting next week, info and schedules are online. Several workshops are also included if your schedule doesn’t allow for weekly classes.
I added several pics from the event if you want to take a look!

FREE FAMILY ART DAYS!
As a Mom I am always looking for fun activities for our family which also includes Grandma, to share together. Inspire Community Fine Art Center not only has an amazing selection of classes for adults and children, but they offer a free day once a month for families to come and play! The next day is none other than Saturday, 13 June AKA «Juneteenth».
Everyone here was so friendly and patient answering any questions I had about the classes and materials. Thank you Ana ;) This was my first Unilocal!event and it was so much fun to experience a place that I had never known about. Meeting other S.A. Unilocalers! was an added treat to the evening.
The hands on bottle painting was an unexpected surprise for me, and I want to thank Bird Bakery for their samples (they also make Gluten Free cupcakes in their shop!) and Calaveras Wine and Beer. This Art Center really is a FUN place to be, and I will be sharing this with my other Mommy friends for sure!

I had the privilege of attending a Private Unilocal Event at Inspire Community Fine Art Center. I absolutely love their mission: «To advocate and celebrate the arts as a force for education and healing across our diverse cultural communities.» I got a little chocked up when I heard how much they do to reach out to the community; some of the areas were helping women in recovery at the Alpha Home; Eva’s heroes which helps adults and children with special needs, and Sam Ministries, just to name a few.
I was advised by a staff member that they have been doing this for 10 years; I am glad I attended this event so that I can promote it on Unilocal and also to others. We were very well received and the staff was helpful and extremely friendly. We were given the opportunity to bring out our creative side; we each painted a wine bottle that had to be left behind to dry.
Some of the classes offered are, drawing, painting, ceramics, performance art courses; Intro to Ballroom Dancing; Intro to Guitar ~ I was definitely «inspired» and will be taking a welding class at the Center in the near future.
We enjoyed some awesome mini-​cupcakes from Bird Bakery. I actually checked in at Bird Bakery 3 months ago and failed to do a review. Can I say yummy, yummy, yummy? Because I said it more than once; they were amazing.

Holy Cow is this place awesome!
When you first walk upon the «Inspire House» aka Community Fine Art Center you are going to be blown away. This place looks like it was sent through a magical portal and came straight from the pages of an old fairy tale or fable. I spent a couple minutes alone just walking around the center and taking in all of the beauty. The center has such a vibrant paint color to it and it really stands out in a positive light. It is almost a breath of fresh air. So vibrant and fun that you want to bust out a set of paints and get inspired. They offer a variety of classes in case painting isn’t your thing.
The garden around the Inspire House is really well kept and i loved the pebble and wine bottle walk way. That’s right, you heard me, wine bottles! When you visit this center really take the time to look at all the details before immediately walking in.
My favorite part of the entryway had to have been the «Wine Tree». They have this really neat art installation and at the end of all the branches are these wine bottles. So simple yet pure genius. They apparently decorate them and have themed concepts throughout the year.
This Center offers a lot of great activities including adult and children art classes. If you are looking to bring out your creative side this is the place to come to!
The team here is super sweet and very passionate about what they do. This is a non-​profit organization that does a lot to give back to the community with the Arts.
Can’t wait to come back with a couple of friends and get my Picasso on.
