“Wonderful space with such beautiful artwork. The sales staff are so helpful and knowledgeable. We are so happy with our purchase from Avenue and their great customer service.”
“What a little treasure this gallery and gift shop is! Just near Fisherman’s Wharf so came across it by chance. Knowledgeable and friendly staff and l love that they have items by local designers. I bought some lovely ‘eagle’ design silver earrings and then saw a ring I really laiked by another local designer- but it was the beginning of our trip so I was being careful with what I spent so left it. Regretted it so much I got in touch when I got home and with Marlene’s kind help had it shipped! I’m so happy with it ?. I recommend a visit!!”
“Gabriel is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, kind and very very passionate about art. He made us feel so welcome and we felt we truly got an experience and education. Will definitely be back and recommending this “Barn” to friends and family!!”
“My FAVOURITE store in victoria!! perfect little oddity shop for any weirdos and oddballs in your life or maybe it’s you! From teeth and exoskeletons to funky stickers and leather work there is always something to buy and a zillion things to look at in here. They also carry a range of local artists which is awesome! The owner is super cool and sweet as well”
“Fortune Gallery, honestly, is the most beautiful art space in Victoria. Really friendly vibes, right in chinatown. The owner is really friendly, down to earth, and has no pretention ?! It is a great place to showcase your art and even to rent for events. The staff are very helpful and make the process simple and easy. Would definitely recommend them for anything from showing your art to hosting work functions and weddings! They are pretty environmentally counsious as well, which is always plus!”
“Probably one of the oldest artist coops in Canada (49 yrs now), this gallery and studios offers an alternative to typical activities you'll find in Victoria. Watch the website and Facebook for when there are exhibition openings, life drawing sessions or special events. It is definitely off the beaten track and a bit tricky to access so you will feel like you've discovered something different, and you have!”
“I had such a great experience here. The studio is beautiful, but what really stood out to me was how kind and helpful the owner is. They were so accommodating, always quick to respond, and made the whole experience really easy. I really appreciated how much they cared and how willing they were to help. I'm not from the island, but I'll definitely be stopping by whenever I'm visiting. I would highly recommend checking this place out!”
“In a world severely lacking in 3rd spaces, community art hub is a safe haven of awesomeness. Cute location, always friendly volunteers, admission by donation/pay what you can, and literally all the art supplies you could ever dream off. 3D printing, yarn, fabric, block printing, painting, sewing, beading, embroidery, resin, clay, they have it ALL. I love it here and I love the people I’ve met through it.”
“I love this little Gallery, great paintings, pottery, mixed media, wooden pieces & jewellry and sculpted pieces from Vancouver Island and great staff. I can always find great works I'd love to gift myself! I ordered a painting online (it was snowing!) The painting was in my hands a couple of days later, it was packaged beautifully! Thank you so much!”
“I brought in an oil portrait of my late father that was in need of reframing (from the 70's) the staff at Broadmead were very careful with his painting and made great suggestions for the reframe to really make the portrait details stand out. I could not have been more happy with the outcome of the final work. Dad looks great and my sister and I absolutely love the newly framed portrait! I highly recommend them and would not hesitate to work with them again.”
“Gallery Merrick is such a beautiful space full of amazing work by talented artists. My favourite part about my visit to the Gallery by far was my encounter with the owner Joe Bembridge. My experience has now put Gallery Merrick at the top of my list as my go to place to view and purchase unique pieces that bring beauty and richness into my life. Love Love Love!”
