After settling on this venue for my daughter’s wedding , signing a contract and having our deposit cash for 3 months, they sent an email canceling because they had a better offer on the room!! We lost time in securing another venue as well as deposits on vendors for this space. They can cancel on you the day before your event and hold no responsibility. I hope this is a cautionary tale for anyone considering this venue!!!

This is a very cool place to hang out and get some steps in too. TONS of shops and tiny studios for locals to sell in. The bottom floor has a LARGE antique area with a mix of everything old and collectible that you could imagine. Several floors and all sprawled out so you could easy walk for hours as you exercise. NOT wheelchair accessible and quite drafty in some areas, but still an amazing space that everyone should visit. Parking is across the street and it's easy to get lost here. Pizza place on bottom floor and a wonderful patio area to chill in with friends.

Very pleased with staff and facility. We used the Picasso room for our son's wedding and booked another room for my other son's wedding. They are very easy to communicate with.

A nice place for a lunch or dinner out. Plenty of shops. Good people, clean with plenty of parking and great artist. Being in the old Mellwood plant has so much history the building is amazing.

We had our wedding reception there a month after our elopement and this was the perfect place. We chose the smaller room the Pigmont gallery and the size of the room was PERFECT! It was very affordable too since we planned it last minute. It was very clean, beautiful, private, accommodating, and very professional. We had access to a list of vendors they had but we chose to use our own. They provided a perfect floor plan and had almost everything preset for us. We just had to place our decorations. This place is very affordable even any of the other rooms were amazing. We toured the all the rooms upon viewing Mellwood. The entire staff was friendly, welcoming, and polite. They answered anything and everything. They emailed back or called back very fast as well. Thank you to the amazing staff at Mellwood! We will for sure book other events here in the future 😃

I loved the variety of photo ops at this venue! I had a great time shooting this wedding in one of the smaller rooms. We were able to get so many different looks in one location. I would recommend!

I rented the Pigment gallery for the purposes of proposing and having an engagement party on premises afterwards. The staff were extremely helpful, and flexible for all reasonable requests. The pricing was fair as well. My experience could not have been better. Plus, she said yes. Thank you, Mellwood Art Center.

Awesome place to have an event. We had our daughter's quinceañera at the Monet Room, and we had a blast. I highly recommend it.

We ended up at Mellwood after the original wedding venue fell through. The team at Mellwood was so wonderful in helping us to figure out how to recreate the bride's vision under difficult circumstances. Throughout the planning process, they were highly responsive and on the day of the event, they answered all our questions and even loaned us a staple gun when ours failed! We had a lovely event!

My wife and are avid Antique mallers. We visit here twice a year usually. Some magnificent colonial pieces in the vintage furniture gallery. You wont find flea market items OR prices here. Most everything here is true vintage and/or collectible. It's like walking back in time

This artsy community is literally minutes away and the best kept secret. I was blown away at all they had to offer via vendors, businesses, and event spaces. I am coordinating a wedding that will be taking place in 2023 and I was so amazed at all this establishment has to offer. Please watch their calendar and stop by. You will LOVE it!

An art lover's paradise! I had an absolute blast exploring The Mellwood Art Center. It's a haven of creativity with numerous small shops to browse through. Walking around and immersing myself in the diverse artistic offerings was an incredible experience. You can easily spend an entire day here, discovering unique pieces and soaking in the artistic atmosphere. A must-visit destination for anyone seeking inspiration and enjoyment. Five stars without a doubt!

My son’s rehearsal dinner was absolutely lovely and John was a pleasure to work with. He made sure everything was exactly what I wanted! The Pigment Gallery was just the right size and the ambiance was perfect. Thank you so much!

Really Great people and a wonderful wide open space! Definitely check out the Butchertown Brewery in the location as well - we had some unique beers! We're already planning our next 2 Louisville Festivals at Mellwood Art Center - it's the place to do events in Louisville!

One hundred percent would have a wedding at Mellwood again and again. The event rental manager is super responsive and accommodating, making the headache of planning a large event less terrible. The bridal suite was perfect, even though I had 10 people in it so while it seems small, there was space for everyone and their stuff. The vendor policy is out of this world (literally anyone can make your food) and there’s a kitchen included with your Picasso room rental should you need to keep food warm or cold. The bartending policy is also great, as you can have your buddies bartend. Super grateful I had my wedding here!

Place to be if you’re looking for inspiration or just a way to spend a little time in Louisville. Liminal chaser’s paradise after dark.

Attended an amazing fund raising event for Morquio's Syndrome last night at the Art Center. "R4R" !!!!! Beautiful venue! Amazing event to bring awareness and to encourage families and friends in this battle. They don't battle this alone. ❤

We were there for the Taste of Louisville. What a fun event!! We had a great time.

What a beautiful gem in the heart of Louisville! From antique shopping, craft and art shows, to restaurants, to gorgeous event spaces, this is truly a must see in town! We've been to weddings, expos, outdoor art and craft shows, and have always had the best time. The pizza place in the walkway/shop area is so good! We have caught a theater show of Wizard of Oz put on by the Chicken Coop Theater group and it was so much fun! If you can, stop by Butchertown Brewery and try their sours! So good.

The antique store is wonderful. If you are looking for something unique and unusual you can definitely find it. I just wished that the shops they have were open. I went on a Friday afternoon and nothing was open on the second floor.

Absolutely huge antique building on multiple levels. There is so much to see here. Plan on 2 trips to get through it all. I bought an art Nuevo piece and I'm thinking I probably over paid as it was presented (and priced) as an authentic piece and upon getting it home it doesn't seem the case. No returns so...buyer beware. There's pieces at every price point for those who don't seriously collect.

With Danny Mac's, the best pizza place in town right on site, the food the cinch. Many rooms are available for rent for any kind of party. We were there for a sweet 16 party. Meanwhile in the space across from the main center there was a huge gambling night fundraiser going on.

A very nice culture center with some very unique shops. A must to go to is the upper floor Butchertown Brewing small batch brewing. This is the spot to go to on the weekends. The tap room is opened, and there is always something new Brewing to try out. Today's special was blood orange sours, and banana cream. Wow, they are exciting and delicious. And then you have to go down to main level and try Danny Mac's pizza. This makes a great day with family and friends. Go try some today.

We went yesterday for the first time. If you were a fan of Joe Ley's or the old Derby City Antique Mall (before they closed), this is a place you will want to visit. The Mellwood Art Center is clean, spacious, comfortable, and with acres of beautiful items and antiques. Absolutely worth spending many hours there, maybe even a few days to see it all. You are certain to find something you like. Plenty of free parking directly across the street.

A variety of attractive pubic spaces perfect for events and classes with plenty of parking. Adjacent shops offer food, candy, fitness, and antiques. The location is less than a mile from top-tier Louisville attractions including Waterfront Park, the Waterfront Botanical Garden, the Muhammad Ali Center, Louisville Slugger Field, downtown and NULU.

This was my first time at the center. I attended a wedding. The Art Center itself was really nice. Loved the art on the walls. Also was impressed with the different spaces they offered for events.

We visited last week and purchased some chairs. The staff was wonderful about saving them for us to pick up a week later. The day we picked them up the gentleman in the back was very gracious and helped us get the chairs outside to dismantle. Everyone was very kind and very helpful and there's a wonderful selection of mid-century modern and Danish. If you're in Louisville take the chance and drop by. You won't be disappointed.

Fascinating place. We were there for a wedding but did walk around and the art was unique and stunning and thought provoking.

45,000 square feet of antiques and collectibles. Really well laid out and friendly, helpful staff. Large loading dock for transport. Open 7 days a week with plenty of parking. Fine collection of antiques including Victorian Eastlake furniture.

The Mellwood Art Center is a "must do" for us whenever we're in the area. From getting lost for hours among the treasures in the antique mall to sitting down with a piping hot order of crack sticks at Danny Mac's, there's something for everyone in this hidden gem. There are some great eclectic little shops and some wonderful original arts and crafts if you want to walk off the amazing meal you just had at Danny Mac's! Don't miss out on this place if you're anywhere close!

I attended a beautiful evening wedding at the Mellwood Art Center. It's a unique venue with many separate and spacious rooms, which can accommodate large groups for a variety of events. Better parking and signage at the entrance for the facility and its various rooms will enhance my future experiences there.

Love Fallon the event coordinator. She always goes above and beyond to help us stressed out bride's to be. The spaces available are more than great for the price. They are always continuing to upgrade the look and appeal of the venue. I've seen upgrades since the date I booked and they are very pleasing. 100% recommend this venue...
