Triangle Cultural Art Gallery LLC — Attraction in Raleigh

We were in Durham/ Raleigh area for a work retreat. We decided to support local African American businesses on Saturday. Triangle Cultural Art Gallery was one of the last stops we were to make that evening. We planned to attend the Paint & Sip event advertised on Eventbrite. We paid $40.00 plus convenience fee $4.06 (44.06) total for the expected experience. The advertisement mentioned light snacks would be provided. They should have changed their advertisement if they weren’t planning to have snacks. There were none provided, owner mentioned due to COVID. One of my coworkers asked what do you normally have, chips and pretzels were mentioned. Also, as most of us in the group had attended paint and sips before, we expected there would be wine as a choice to sip on. We were provided bottle waters, and a couple of soft drinks. After we asked about whether we could bring our own wine, it was mentioned that only a cup would be allowed. The experience was poor as we had limited choice of wine in a plastic clear solo looking cup. Wine was cheap and unlikable to any of our palates, as we attempted to sip, but none of us were able to finish it. Additionally, we hadn’t ever been to a painting experience where the instructor did not paint the picture while instructing the participants. Rather we received poor looking past pictures to look upon, as the instructor encouraged us to glance at them. He used a styrofoam plate to provide instructions to us while he showed us what to do. Let’s not forget the pictures he mentioned that he was taking for us to be received at the end. If he was providing that option, consideration of each phase of the painting process should have been done. Our pics were limited, and we would have much rather took them ourselves. If you see this advertisement online from this location, please consider calling them and ask questions. Don’t be fooled as we were, and could not get our money back, as we had paid...
