“Zack and team did a great job communiating and working with us to shoot video at a mardi gras event. This was not an easy request becasue we needed his team to follow our team over two days for video production. Communcation was great on working toward final edited version. I highly recommend Zack Smith Photography”

“This felt like a walking into a museum. We were a bit surprised we were welcomed in even though they were closing in just 15 minutes. But everyone who worked here was friendly and kept suggesting different pieces to go check out. There were so many different pieces from every era. Everything was in exquisite condition and out in the open to fully view. It is such an interesting collection and definitely worth stopping in!”
“Get a reading by Kamille! You’ll thank me later! She is spot on, very accurate and just a great human being in general. Shoo is very knowledgeable and friendly for tourist and practitioner alike! The voodoo festival was very informative as well!”
“We stumbled upon this place the other day and came across a VERY eclectic collection of what I'd call furniture art. Everything from something Genghis Khan would have had to the front of an old automobile as a love seat.You could visit as if you were going to an museum.”
“Since 2020 I have had the opportunity to attend many events at Fire House Loft and since recently have been able to host. What is consistent from both sides is the extraordinary experience and service. Sean and his team go above and beyond to make sure your needs are met and the vibes are set. Perfect for an intimate gathering, large celebration or corporate meeting - Fire House exceeds all expectations and would 10/10 recommend - local & visitors alike!”
“Of all of the interesting galleries and shops in New Orleans, this is probably the most fun and whimsical of them all. It is absolutely impossible not to smile while you walk around looking at everything. We purchased one guy who looks like he had 30 cups of coffee for our wall and a picture of a monster putting rainbows in jars and sending them off to the world. I look at both daily.”
“Zele is a great shop! I think just about everything in there is from Louisiana artists. There is beautiful artwork, jewelry, and other small home goods/decor. The store is also way bigger than it looks from the outside. Highly recommend!”
“Stopped in last December to look at the incredible art. Troy showed us around and informed of us of style of Mr. Lukezic with the different textures. We loved the tango dog style and Troy said he could have a custom one done. We got a spring flower painting and a custom tango fire dog. He personalized it with station number. They both were safely shipped, we even asked for the sketch and hung it next to the art. They look AMAZING!”
“This is a wonderful gift shop, that specializes in local artist made items. If you are looking for quality items to gift or take home as a souvenir of your visit to New Orleans, this shop is a great choice! The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The offerings are interesting and well made. The store is pleasantly arranged and easy to browse. Prices are fair. (This is NOT a French Quarter junky souvenir shop!)”
“One of the most exquisite collections I've had the pleasure of viewing. The store is expertly staged with one of a kind finds. It's very organized and clean. Fine Antiques, phenomenal vintage and luxury decor in their description is not an exaggeration. As another reviewer stated, that deserves to be repeated, this is definitely a secret that needs to get out. The customer service was top notch, and they ship anywhere as well. STOP. IN. TODAY!”
“Obsessed with this place. Incredibly well curated items at very good prices. Great for shopping for yourself or as gifts. The owners are so kind and make you feel welcomed. Will definitely be back!”
“I love this place, it's so cute and definitely a memorable part of my vacation! Absolutely love this cute shop and all of the pro animal rescuing stuff. Opposums are the main attraction here! Very very cute products and I just loved this place.”
“Absolutely Fantastic place. The gallery was beautiful, and the staff was extremely informative. After talking to friends of ours about the artist, we went back and purchased a piece. Very happy”
“What a refreshing, modern, unassuming one of a kind gallery found within the stuffy Julia St. art district in New Orleans. Ariodante Contemporary Craft Gallery is a true treasure chest of unique wares to choose from. Their collection of art is supplied by various local artists who’s range vary in talent and medium choice. All works are very unique and priced reasonably. The gallery is maintained/managed by a marvelous curator, Laurie. She obviously knows the artist and their works. She does her very best for customers by making sure that works selected to be sold in the shop are what customers are looking for before they even know what they’ll love. I found and purchased a lovely Cuban-box sliver bracelet that I didn’t know I needed until she informed about the artist and his pieces; further she explained the talent needed to make said bracelet and she contacted the artist for further information about the bracelet.
This gallery is must for every tourist visiting New Orleans.
PS Once home Laurie sent a thank you note! Now that’s charming.”
“Beautiful pottery--check out their wood-fired pieces! And very friendly potters who had great advice for out-of-towners about where to go to make the most of our stay in NOLA.”
“This art gallery was astoundingly unique with mixed media pieces, original art work, prints, and interactive pieces. The mid-range price point makes it a must see for someone looking for one of a kind pieces. Also the gallery attendant was very personable and helpful even though we had kids with us.”
“Remarkable little antiques shop at Jackson Ave and Magazine St right next to the famous Simon's Sign Workshop & Curiosities, which has no listing on Google Maps, but is a landmark for those who've seen or ordered one of his signs around NOLA. Anyway, there's so much packed into every nook and cranny of this antiques shop.”
“The surprises in this museum start when you walk in the front door. Floor joists for the upper floors are exposed, with the floor cut away to create an atrium in front of the brick front.We liked seeing the antique cameras scattered throughout the photo exhibit, and the room tricked out to look like a darkroom, with red light, the b&w photos hung by clothes pins, and an old enlarger.Another space held a couch, bookcases and photographs on the wall. It was meant to suggest grandma’s living room. It was Irvin, who works on the second floor, who pointed out what the furnishings were meant to signify in that gallery.Irvin was fun to talk to about art at the Contemporary Arts Center, art in general. He explained the New Orleans cultural references in the photographs: Second Line, local Native Americans and the clubs (A club was recreated in one of the galleries).”

“After many years of working with Tony - it is still a big 5 stars. He takes great care and a good sense of what will look good. My company has over 50 pieces that he completed for us, maybe more. I have personal items with him too.”
“OK OK. I finally made it back when they were open. The owner was so friendly that I want to take back the meanness I said before. Yes they are currently open only weekdays, but he is busy trying to wrap up other things and hopes to be open on the weekends soon. Everything was very nice, well organized. It can be used as an event space.”
“Lovely gallery, I am so glad we went in. Truthfully the paintings I spotted from the door drew me. The prices range from high to low, so there is something for all budgets if you are looking to purchase art. We got a great 12x12 piece for under 300 and it was well packed for us to travel with. (Shipping was an option). The gallery is like a mini museum with the main room, a back room, and an upstairs. Well air conditioned, well lit, with seating. We especially loved the gentleman (Angel) working there- he was so very kind and patient. We are so excited to hang our new piece. We also learned some fun info about some of the art from Angel. Thanks again!”
“Awesome gallery, very knowledgeable on the artists, Very professional, great website, excellent framing is also available, large stable of artists in every price point.”
“A hidden gem for glass art enthusiasts! The gallery features a great variety of local glass art, and the studio offers lots of glass classes from beginner to advanced!”
“Lovely little shop in the French Quarter. We have purchased several things from here. Earnings, hand carved wooden mask and wall decoration. The owner was there this time and he was so nice and personable.”
“What an awesome first experience! Amanda was patient, offered great expertise and opinions, was gentle when handling my art, and was just genuinely a friendly business owner to interact with! She put together an estimate piece by piece of what I was hoping for and guiding me on what would cost more versus less to make sure she was being fully transparent about pricing - which I always appreciate! So excited to see the finished product and would definitely recommend!”
“Great shop! Creative and fun! Best money you’ll spend on your art, photos, etc.
Everyone there has a talent for framing. Never realized the options available until I was introduced to this shop. We’ve been going to them for at least a decade now.”
“I have been collecting Thomas Mann for over 30 years. Never have I had a problem with any piece I have purchased. The quality is wonderful. The design is unique and both romantic and modern. It is the best jeweler in New Orleans hands-down, and I have been to them all. If you appreciate unusual jewelry that people comment on constantly, do yourself a favor and explore the world of Thomas Mann. You will be intrigued and charmed.”
“Unique art, friendly and helpful staff. The 3D glass art caught my attention as ilI was walking down the street. It was after hours so I made sure to return the next day. This was my first piece of "gallery" art, but I love this artist's work, so it won't be my last!! Shipping was exactly how described and arrived in perfect condition.”
“Impressive selection of local pieces, jazz fest prints framed and ready to go. My go to for LSU themed gifts and area high schools are represented in inventory as well. Don't forget to check out some of their Mr Bingle pieces for Christmas, gifts or decor for your home. Service is personable and professional, the owner is a pleasure to deal with.”
“I received my beautiful poster as promised but they told me that I would have to sign for it. Fed Ex left my package outside the front and did not ring doorbell. I was at home waiting for the package and the FedEx driver forged my signature. I made a complaint to FedEx and when I tried to contact Art4now to report FedEx they did not response to my email or answer when I called several times. The website stated that they are open 24 hrs, but they have never answered the phone Happy with product but not the customer service.”
