That’s the case.
It is now part of our home and has survived 5000 miles unscathed.”

Dewey, who is the shop dog could put a smile on anyone’s face.The gallery is beautiful, unique and one of a kind. I will definitely be coming back to purchase some more art in the future.A big thank you to David :) 10/10 from me!”
“Amazing gallery with unique pieces - loved learning the meaning of the artwork from Rose who was the sales associate, offering her perspective of the artist. Purchased a beautiful tray with a teal blue glass insert. Would visit again on our next trip to Sarasota to see what is new!”
“We walked into this gallery on a short trip from the East coast and fell in love with it. Gregory was amazing. He was welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly. Some of these qualities are not always found in galleries. My husband and I are both artists and visit galleries in every town we visit. This one struck home! Thank you so much for your wonderful gallery. Look forward to seeing Number 33 Gallery again soon.

“Interesting gallery. Loaded with glass and regular art, mostly modern but not offensive. Rich Puckett was very helpful, with good details and explanations. If we lived in that area I could see going there to locate some art. A bit tough to find, along a strip outside downtown Sarasota, but parking around back makes it EZ.”
“Define Art Gallery is a recent and welcome addition to Palm Ave. I’ve truly enjoyed repeated visits to the gallery before finally buying a beautiful and intriguing painting. Both the owner and her employees provide a friendly and relaxed experience, introducing me to the various artists, their histories and styles. I love the youthful vibe, along with more traditional styles. There is a great mix of artwork, which makes me think young people starting a collection will find accessible painting that they’ll treasure over a lifetime. At the same time, there is plenty for an octogenarian like me to love.”
“I called the store this morning to see if I could find my daughter a similar grass small pot which I bought when she was visiting us in Florida. The manager went out of his way to try to find another.
He found the faux plant and when I asked if he could ship it to me in Michigan, he said while they normally do not do that, he would do me the favor of shipping it to me.
That is what I call EXCEPTIONAL service.
The kindness and sincere intent to satisfy their customers goes above and beyond !
Highly recommend you stop in this store. Merchandise is gorgeous . Customers are treated like royalty!!”
“Aimee, was excellent to work with she guided us through the process with framing our picture in a timely manner. Highly recommend, extremely satisfied and professional!!!”

“What an absolute pleasure working with both Austin and Brandon! Very warm and knowledgeable and exceptional level of service and professionalism all around. Rare these days. Will return and will refer. ?”
“I purchased a bronze sculpture for the Children's Hospital of Richmond from Chasen Galleries Richmond. The transaction, delivery and installation was seamless.”
“I want to tell you about the auction I attended at Sarasota Trading this morning and afternoon. Beautiful Glass, china, paintings, and most of all wonderful presentation. Thanks Andrew Ford for the classy auctioneer skills. I also have dealt with Sarasota Trading in selling my mom's custom and costume jewelry and pieces of art I inherited but were not going to fit into a baby boomer's life. Mine. We have been friends for 14 years. He is a valuable, trustworthy resource as is his wife Lathrop and their helpful staff.”
“My wife and I randomly walked into AlexArt International Gallery after a very nice dinner. We were embraced by Fabio and Alexa from the moment we walked in the door. The art was some of the best we have ever seen. We shared some great stories about Italy. We purchased a painting along with Fabio's book who was kind enough to sign it for us. They gave us a special present before leaving which will be displayed in one of our houses. On our next visit to Sarasota we will be sure to stop in again. Liz & Jim.”
“Every time we are visiting we nee to go to the Wyland Galleries! Such an unique place. Hope they did well after the hurricanes. Can’t wait to be back in April.”
“Listening and exploring spiritual practice in the form of appreciation as I listen to a well spoken monk was truly inspirational for my Day. Thanks John look forward to meeting you again. Also the art here is a beautiful sight of deep culture. A must to see.”

“I took a week-long hot glass (lampwork) class with Corina Tettinger subject: Ocean Beads, in October 2023 at Joni Brandt’s Hot Chic Hot Glass facility. My hat’s off to Corina and Joni-they were fun, gracious and provided an enriched learning atmosphere. I plan to go back in 2024!! Kay G”

“Beautiful store! Nice, friendly owner who cares about his customers and provide informative info on anything you ask regarding African Art. It's rare that you find such a quality place.”
“This is an absolute delight. We visited their gallery in Big Cypress National Preserve and what a surprise. Gorgeous location and very atmospheric to suit the gallery to perfection. The Venice gallery was large and we spent over an hour enjoying the photography and speaking with the terrific staff. The timeline of Clyde and his family’s life was fascinating and his work rivals Ansel Adam’s. A must stop either in Venice or Ochopee.”
