Erica is great with responding back to any questions you may have about the space. I really appreciate that she and her husband provided lights and had the backdrop ready to go for us! As hosts, both Erica & Randy are very sweet and were so respectful and patient with our crew. Plus their space is really cool decorated with artwork and photographs. Overall, they are very professional but in a open friendly-way. Thank you. I will definitely book this space again.

This space is beautiful and our host was amazing. We would definitely book again.
Erica and Randolph were incredibly accommodating, easy to communicate with, and very nice people. The space itself was easy to configure and arrange to your purpose. Not to mention, the art work in their space added flavor to our event. I highly recommend booking their space for the nice, airy and creative space itself, but most especially for the ease and convenience in interacting and working with hosts.

Was looking for an art gallery that rented their space for my daughter’s engagement party, so I googled it. I never rented a venue before and had no idea what to expect. I chose RBA Creative because the location is walking distance from where my daughter and her fiancé live and the pictures fit what I was looking for. Erika suggested I look at the space first. After meeting with Randolf and taking a tour, we confirmed the booking. On the day of the event, Randolf and Erika stayed until the set up was taken care of and left us with their number in case of emergencies. I found Randolf and Erika helpful in staging the art pieces we brought, placing tables w/ table cloths out for us, and setting out garbage cans. They had a speaker for music and even opened up the front and back doors to create a breeze. I loved the sandwich board out front that announced the event- really nice and helped the guests find the spot. Had 25-30 guests and they ALL told me during the party or after how much they enjoyed the party and the space. It captured the vibe of the neighborhood and the engaged couple perfectly.

I had a "Sip and See" party for my first baby grandson with 30-35 family and friends. Erica,the gallery owner/hostess made it very easy to book the gallery since I lived in another state. Highly recommend! Great venue with a inviting comfortable environment.
