    Went there for a concert (Columbus Koto Ensemble). Enjoyed the music. Don't know anything about this location other than the concert.

    Nice gathering space. Like many art spaces, it is not a welcoming space for dance. Concrete floor. I will just keep complaining. Someday someone will understand. And they will get that other star!

    I went here for the first time the other night for a writer's workshop. The place was easy to find, and it's a rather unassuming little spot tucked in among a handful of other businesses. Inside, it's urban and rough, but cozy and intimate. The walls are adorned with the latest images from the monthly art gallery. It feels perfectly like any other little hole in the wall arts-outlet joint I've ever been to...Familiar and energizing. So far I can only really speak for the bi-monthly writing workshop, but I had a blast sharing and discussing with everyone who attended. I'm definitely returning for this event in the future and I'm very interested to see everything else they have to offer here.

    Wild Goose Creative is a community art space that has occasional shows and events. The space is nice- there is a front and back area, room with a stage for performances and is a queer friendly venue and supports many queer artists.

    It is a beautiful space and on 2nd Fridays you have a built in crowd if it's an open event, it is pretty easy to find parking, comfortable seating and bathrooms!!

    It’s ok. They seem to like places that are very difficult to park. The parking situation is very unclear currently with Strongwater being closed/changing management. I went for an event where there was a MainStage and then a quiet activity in the lobby area. Acoustics were bad… as in the quiet activity was not quiet due to the MainStage room being closed off by a thin door. Probably more of an issue with the activity choices by event organizer and not the facility itself.

    Always a cool place with interesting art and events. This gallery is very much a contributing factor to a lot of artistic development in Columbus, and has been around for a very long time. This new space in Franklinton has provided them with the opportunity to expand their commitment to community based art support, and it's beautiful to see.

    Fun creative space for a staged reading of a play. Smallish, but perfect for our purposes. Parking can be challenging, and the blackout curtains could use replacing, but still. A great space. Art on the wall is compelling, but not kid friendly at the time I was there.

    Great atmosphere and art was absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed relaxing and taking in the photos taken by the talented artist. Will definitely go back again.

    Great space to stage a private show. Rented the venue for my comedy show that we had last night and everyone was very happy with the venue. Venue seats about 90 people and provides everything I needed to do my comedy show as well as helped set up and sound check us at the beginning of the night. Def check out events here and consider renting it if you are looking to put on a show.

    Cool place! Awesome place to host an art exhibit! My partner recently hosted with them and it was set up and taken down very quickly! Def would recommend them if you have a small art display or show you want to show! Make sure you REALLY advertise your exibit everywhere you can if you're gonna host here though!

    Love the new space. The exhibited art is playful and interesting. The multidisciplinary arts program I attended was also interesting and thought-provoking.
