The Vibe Art and Music

About Us

The Vibe, formerly Studio 223, has grown into Shelbyville’s home-base for hands-on creativity. Founded and run by Paulie and Missy Felice, the venue blends music, visual art, and language learning under one lively roof. On any given day visitors might hear guitar students working through new riffs, spot painters experimenting with color, or catch an impromptu open-mic in the back room—often prompted by the bubble machine sending streamers of bubbles onto Sixth Street. The Vibe hosts everything from beginner and advanced guitar classes to paint-and-sip nights, songwriting clinics, youth workshops, and gear rentals, all with an open-door policy for community partnerships and pop-up events. With its neon-bright logo and welcoming hangout atmosphere, The Vibe aims to keep the arts accessible, collaborative, and fun, reinforcing the idea that a thriving creative scene strengthens the heart of Shelby County
