GBHA at The Ramsey School

GBHA at The Ramsey School The Ramsey School is a historic school located in Bluefield West Virginia. Ultimately, the Ramsey will be your one stop arts and entertainment mecca..

Officially closed as a school in the year 2000, the Ramsey sat vacant and neglected for years. Recently it was donated to Gary Bowling's House of Art a 501C3e non-profit organization. Inside the Ramsey's 33,000 square feet of space, we would eventually like to fill with artists studios and other oraganizations with a like-minded goal of promoting the arts in and around the community. The potential of the building is staggering, and we are well underway to creating a regional arts center. The main gallery area is handicap accessible, with accessible parking nearby. Bluefield, West Virginia - School with Most Multi-Level ground floor Entrances
Ramsey Elementary School has at least one claim to fame. Many years ago it was featured in "Ripley's Believe It or Not" because it has ground floor entrances on seven different levels. The school was built at the corner of two streets, each of which is quite steep. So, the two roads wrap around it in an ever increasing incline.

Good morning, and Happy Saturday! As usual, the Beaver/Graham game was the talk of the town, and this year hosted RECORD attendance! Just when you thought it couldn’t get any bigger! 😳. We were honored to set up a Bluefield Memorabilia Exhibit at the game, museum curator John Velke spent months gathering historic artifacts and putting them together an amazing display. If you missed the exhibit at the game, it will be on display in The One Thin Dime Museum for the next couple of weeks.
If you’re in from out of town, be sure to put the House of Art on your to-do list today—walk through the Ramsey, browse the art, the history, and the memories that fill this place! Open from 11 to 4 today, see you here! ❤️😃
