VisArts Reviews
We were the first family to try the jewelry-making party and we highly recommend it for girls who love to craft. Our now 7 year old daughter and her friends loved the activities. The crafts were age-appropriate and Kim did a fantastic job teaching and helping the girls. Give this one a try! - Tammie Geier · Read More...
Thanks so much for all of the referrals! We must have done something right! It is a great space...and you guys are great! - Debbie Lessans, Options Caterers
We were extremely pleased with our experience at VisArts. Kim gave great care in the planning/coordination and execution of the birthday party. It was truly an ideal venue for a group of 8-9 year old girls. I would not hesitate to host another party at VisArts in the future. - Julie
I had so much fun making my plate, and hanging out with my friends! The Teacher, Brandon (I think) was great. It was a lot of fun!
Above and Beyond! There is serious peace of mind knowing that I am working in a venue that lends hands on support and is willing to go the extra mile to ensure a clients' happiness. Your staff are just a pleasure to work with. They were positive and happy and actually listened to the guests needs and worked perfectly with our team. T.. Read More...
Thank you so much, Kim. The party was so much fun for the kids and so well organized. It was even fun for the parents. Exactly what I wanted from a Lego birthday party. - Iris yachin · My Brick Birthday, LEGO party
We chose Visarts because we wanted a venue that was a little different. Thinking of drab hotels that just offered a cookie cutter experience definitely wasn't in the cards, and we didn't really want to go the route of a church and reception hall, either. Visarts was a winner - it's a living, breathing, art gallery, and was the way th.. Read More...
Thank you so much for VisArts' generous support for On Our Own of Montgomery County's December 5, 2012 Forum "Impact of Healthcare Reform and Behavioral Health System Integration on Peer Run Wellness & Recovery Programs." We had very good responses from our attendees, and your thoughtful support was much appreciated! - Sha.. Read More...
The instructor Stefanie Heideman was super. Knew her materials and was friendly and cheerful. A positive environment and a beautiful facility. Best kept secret in Rockville.
Thank you so much for everything you did that made my 50th birthday party a success. We had a wonderful time and danced all night. The "Queen's Bal" was enjoyed by everyone. Again, thank you for your help, generosity and kindness. 'Til the next one! - Mandy
Went to VisArts Happy Hour Cocktails and Canvas and had an awesome time. Thanks!
It was an Excellent way of getting to know clay and its ways. The wine was good, instructions clear and class was very well structured to leave enough room for exercising fruitful imagination and none for frustrating failures. It was a great opportunity to play with my amateur creativity and to actually successfully mold it. Would love.. Read More...
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your sculpture classes. The wonderful models and beautiful poses you select, the people, your music and instruction is all so very relaxing and meditative for me. I savor every moment because I know the classes always end way too soon. Making my first full standing figure this time is part.. Read More...
It was a GREAT party! My son loved everything about it, and so did his friends! Kim is a great party host, and a VERY creative party coordinator. I would recommend this party to anyone who has a LEGO lover at home. Also, the venue is a very nice and bright place to host a party. Thank you for a wonderful experience! - Alexa.. Read More...
I really enjoyed taking the Cocktails and Canvas class at VisArts. I'll be looking into other cool classes to possibly take in the future.
Can't say enough great things! Extremely well organized from booking to finish. All of the young artists enjoyed themselves tremendously as did I. I would recommend this highly. A very wonderful experience. Hats off to Kim and Niki! - Holly Mulderig · Art Masters party
Read More...Thank you to the staff at VisArts for making our retirement party such a success. Amy Wollins is a pleasure to work with; she was always available and flexible, both before and during the event. VisArts is also a great space, overlooking the town center. In addition, Corcoran Caterers, which is on the list of preferred caterers, did .. Read More...
My girlfriends and I did this on a whim and we had a great time. The instruction was good, the instructors were friendly and helpful and my friends and I enjoyed our time together. If clay is something you enjoy or if you are creative and crafty, this is a great thing to do.
The teacher, Jill, was great with the right level of explanation and very encouraging. It was very well run with the teacher, Jill, and helper. Thanks for offering the Groupon coupon, I was not aware of VisArts or its classes until now.
Thank you so much for all of your help before, during and after our event on March 21st. We really appreciate all of the hard work by you and your staff! - Kendall Guslee; Keller Williams
Kim Petty is an amazing party coordinator. This was our first party experience at VisArts. It was one of the best run “place” parties I have ever hosted or attended. The Lego activities were awesome and had the kids engaged for 90 minutes straight. Kim is organized, thoughtful and great with the kids! She is so creative.. Read More...
We highly recommend a birthday party at VisArts. The kids all had a great time and can't stop talking about "the best party ever!" Staff was extremely organized and helpful. Easiest party we ever threw! Art Masters Party
Our very excited 7 year old and his 22 friends cannot stop talking about his Lego party! Kim and Chris were great with the kids, and kept the party at the perfect clip. The children were having fun from start to finish. They were each so proud of the work they did and continue to talk about the games and their Lego creations at school... Read More...
I highly recommend a birthday party at VisArts. Kim was extremely responsive and the party was well-planned and organized. The children had a fantastic time, and I received positive feedback from both the children and the parents. According to my son, the Lego Party was "his best birthday party ever!" - Christine L. ·..

I had a great time. Our instructor was very friendly & helpful. The space also is really cool. I'd definitely be interested in more Groupon deals for VisArts!
I am sure you are aware how terrific Amy Wollins is, but I wanted to let you know as well. I just booked the Buchanan Room with her for May. It turns out we knew each other, but even before this, her customer service, knowledge, responsiveness, and friendliness on the phone made me eager to see the space and sign a contract. I had to..

Thank you so much for coordinating my daughter's 4th birthday party. You really accommodated her wish for a princess-themed party and made it a truly wonderful experience for her and all our guests. The children thoroughly enjoyed all the activities and your careful planning, organization and execution were superb and made it a truly.. Read More...
On Our Own was very fortunate to have the opportunity to have our forum at the VisArts Center. The Buchanan Room was a beautiful and yet very functional (tables and chairs provided, space just right, AV system worked very well, etc.). In addition, Amy was extremely generous with her time, as she made herself available to help us with.. Read More...
