| Becky and Staff- Thank you so very much for agreeing to host the First Friday Songwriter's Circle at ARTichokes. Last night was a tremendous success. We had a full house of very appreciative listeners and they all remarked what a great place ARTichokes is. I am looking forward to many, many more First Fridays! You guys are the BEST! - Ken Zans |
| Jill Swanberg's items are incredible. Wow what a talent. - Lisa Leopold |
| Our staff had a great time. Becky was a great "guide" and made the experience wonderful for everyone. AND we have a one-of-kind painting! - Butch |
| As a gallerist from another city, I was very warmly impressed with Becky's focus on "artists first." That speaks tons about the great company culture and atmosphere of ARTichokes. - Jay Nelson |

| Hey Becky, I am a student currently in painting class doing a project where we look up artists and there websites. Might i just say that reading a few pages about you guys at ARTichokes just amazes me. It's amazing what you guys do and even better that you try to share that joy with kids and everyone. I really like what your doing, keep it up, you have deff. inspired me! - Kaitlyn in Topeka |
| I attended the women's function in your gallery space last night and was so impressed with your facility, your energy and the overall warm feeling! Thank you for opening such a fantastic place. I had dreamed of opening an art threrapy studio similar to this!! I am really looking forward to taking some of your classes this year. If you are ever interested in expanding your schedule to include some art therapy sessions, I would be happy to lead them (targeting a specific population or theme)...Thanks again for providing our community with such a delightful place! When I got home last night, I realized that you created the perfect set up to make participants feel safe, because of your art surrounding the group on one side, as you were on the on the other side explaining and encouraging people to try out their stuff! Thanks! - Sherri J |
| Thank you for a wonderful birthday experience for my 14 year old daughter and her 11 friends! You made her birthday very unique and memorable. Plus, she has an amazing piece of abstract art that just blows me away every time I step into her room! Becky, you did a fantastic job of keeping the girls in line (not as easy as one might think of 14 year olds!)and of teaching them something about creating a masterpiece of their own! My daughter is anxious to attend some art classes this summer. Thank you so much for such a wonderful party! - Angela C. |
| this has to be one of the best art places I know of! - Samantha |
| neat website and congratulations on your first birthday..........may you have many more.. - dulcy |
| I am very impressed with the talented artists on your site. I am amazed by William P. Hanlin in particular. It is wonderful to see an artist with such diversity and depth. Thank you for putting him in the spotlight. - KC |
| I wanted you all to know how much we enjoyed my daughter's party and of course, the beautiful flower they painted for her room. The staff was terrific and they knew just what to do to keep 11 six year old girls engaged for the course of the party. We will be back for art classes in the spring and summer. Thanks for everything... - DR |
| What a brilliant idea you all had! Having ARTichokes in our neighborhood is absolutely amazing. I have no doubt that your generosity of spirit will spread its glow across our whole community. I was given an art class with Mike Savage for Christmas and it is, without a doubt, the best present I have ever received. Not only do I get to come into your space and enjoy Mike's wonderful talent as he teaches his gorgeous style of painting, but by taking his class I learned all about your other offerings. Live music on Fridays, open studio on Saturdays!! What fun! I brought my daughter and husband one Friday night when there was no music and we spent a couple of hours joyfully painting. The next day, Saturday, we brought our teenage son as well, and even though he was just coming to look, he wound up catching the spirit and we all left with a colorful painting. You provided the art board, a pallet of paint, brushes, water, easels, everything we could possibly need...including cookies and twizzlers!! All for $5!! Simply Amazing!! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! - PB in Leawood |
| We just had my daughter's 11th birthday party at ARTichokes this Sunday and everyone LOVED it! What a cozy and beautiful place to be. A new and fresh idea, I cannot wait to find an excuse to come back! - Lisa in Leawood |
| WOW! What a great place! Nice job! - Natasha |
| I heard about ARTichokes from a man who attended the grand opening. While I haven't been to the gallery yet, I love your site (printer-friendly class schedule and upcoming events would be great). Looking forward to checking out some of your classes. - Gail |
| I just love your place. It is so fun to see the different artists. The new group of artists has given the store a totally different feel. It is cozy and fun to hang out & listen to the Friday night music acts. The classes are so great - how they tailor to every level of artist. I was very intimidated since I am a beginner but in each class I took, the instructor catered the class to each student's experience level. - Penelope in Olathe |
| People are ALWAYS asking me if I give classes and I very rarely do because I just don't have the patience. Now I have someplace cool to send them. And they will love me for it I'm sure! - CH |
