“Outstanding. A large, unique gallery and education center that will leave a lasting impression. The art is intelligent and immersive. They've got a spacious layout and a lot of very large pieces. Well worth the visit.”
“Gotten many tattoos from Rafaela, always turn out great! I've also received work from other artists on Friday the 13th and have never walked away disappointed.”

“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!”
“Zele has a very unique collection of art, crafts, prints, photos and more from local artists, each with their own pop-up booth space running the length of the store. Also, a good inspiration for making your own crafts, if so inclined.”
“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.”
“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 literally my favorite shop! I could have stayed all day. The art is so fun and happy. The owner is a joy too. I loved it so much that, even though the rain blew out my paper bag and the items I purchased were broken, I am going to fashion fixes for them and make them work. The items are just too cute to discard. You won't stop smiling! A must visit!”
“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!”
“Absolutely love the pieces. They have a large selection. I purchased a beautiful necklace and bracelet. Great customer service. She even cleansed my piecey's before I wore them. I love this store”
“Visit this gallery. Upon entering there was an immediate feeling of a positive relaxed vibe. Colorful, vibrant, artwork filled my senses. The ladies were bright and personable. What a fun experience for me visiting this gallery. I have been going New Orleans for years and been familiar with Pete The Cat. This visit I decided I needed some Pete The Cat in my life. The staff helped me with framing, matched the mat perfectly with the accent colors in the print. I’m so glad I had them do the framing it was professionally and perfectly done. This purchase experience was so much fun. Thank you to the ladies who helped me at the gallery. The print is beautiful on my wall and is a perfect addition to my colorful eclectic art collection. It’s done so well it looks like an original.”
“I bought a gift card to my daughter. The lady I spoke with on the phone was very friendly and helpful. My daughter has bought things from Home Malone before and she bought two door hangers with his gift card. She really loves Home Malone.”
“We experienced our first black owned/ black artist art gallery today and it was AMAZING! The gallery was user friendly and the host was knowledgeable and shared so many facts. I was impressed and purchased a piece of art, and can’t wait to tell everyone about this artist!”

“I have never seen such gorgeous photos as Frank Relle has taken. They are spectacular, haunting and utterly unique. Looking at them transports the viewer to another world.”
“Such a great shop! Got a little cortado cup that’s so perfect from here. The owners work on their pottery from the counter. Gorgeous works ranging in price from $20 for ornaments, 25, 35, and 60 for mugs, and hundreds for very special and massive pieces. Had a great conversation with Alex, he was telling me about how him and his wife have been doing this since the 90s and got some awesome neighborhood coffee shop recs, too.
Beautiful blue mug to add to my collection. Can’t wait to use it!”
“A possum themed boutique? In New Orleans? Say less!
Okay- so first off, if you're looking for this business on Google, there's photos of a live possum resting in the shop (I think it's dated like 6 years ago). There is NO live possum in store. There. Just level-setting things. (I somehow was really excited for a live possum, but alas....)
Okay, BUT the possum items are ADORABLE!!! The best photo ops, and there is so much thought and detail and care. I got a small plush possum- and it even came with food (sprinkles) and a birth certificate, and how to care for it.
They also gave me a few extra stickers. SO CUTE!!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Excellent gallery and history of Rodrigue's Cajun roots. Love the dogs, the oak tree motif et al. Jeanne Cradic, Sales Associate, curates the gallery and weaves stories of Rodrigue's life, enhancing the experience.”
“We happened upon this while walking around after getting Beignets and we loved this artist co-op! Lots of beautiful art in every price range. We bought a great print and wood
Piece, both frog themed. Very happy with our visit here, the staff were friendly. I would definitely come back here anytime I’m in New Orleans. I also loved the artist that painted on individual dominoes. Here you can find prints, wood art, paintings, metal art, domino art, magnets, jewelry, leather goods, etc. excellent variety of styles. Much of it New Orleans-themed.”
“Lovely people here. They rushed my frame. We found a scratch on the acrylic. They immediately replaced it with a new piece within 30 minutes. All done with a great attitude. Thank you!”
“What a lovely sunny and spacious gallery on three floors, filled with these wild perspectives in heavy impasto depicting the spirit and vibration of New Orleans.It was wonderful to have the opportunity to write here with the New Orleans Writing Marathon.”
“A very cool shop that smells good. I just went in knowing nothing ‘bout nothing and left with the same knowledge, but with an all-purpose voodoo doll. Stop in and browse. It smells really good.”
“The Mystic Blue Signs shop has quite a variety of posters, postcards and other unique merch. I had them re-painted the address numbers on our door transom, which look very nice now. Definitely the people to use for any window or other hand painted sign, unless you’re looking for one of Simon’s unique and recognizable whimsical signs seen throughout NOLA. His workshop is just ‘round the corner on Jackson. Be sure to visit both.”

“I had such a great time in this shop on my last visit to New Orleans! The owner was so kind and welcoming - he gave me lots of tips for places to check out in the area. And the beautiful art makes for a one-of-a-kind souvenir. Be sure to check out their neighboring storefront next door, Le Jardin, which is in a beautiful courtyard!”
“I was visiting from Chicago and the Harouni Gallery caught my eye as I walked past. Harouni was very kind and nice to me and didn’t push anything on me when I asked if it was okay if I took some time on the decision to buy a piece. Im absolutely in love with my decision to buy a piece from him and my overall experience could not have been better. Thank you again Mr. Harouni!”
“A.L. Lowe's does museum-quality first class custom matting and framing, for almost anything. They have a very wide variety of frame styles and materials, and can handle almost any framing project. While they are not inexpensive, their workmanship is of the highest quality and will stand the test of time – heirloom quality that will last for generations.”
“A very nice high end gallery like the ones you'll find in Chelsea (NYC) that exhibits a lot of top notch artists. As in any high end gallery you will find a few artists that only make corporate decor, but several here are not afraid to make work that inspires, challenges and makes you think. What's best is that there's several spaces with up to 3 or 4 artists exhibiting at a time. Arthur Rodger is a cornerstone of the warehouse arts district in NOLA.”

“What a great venue for private events and art showings. Loved the ambience. Christian and Connie couldn't have been more accommodating to ensure a great memory.”
“We happened upon Dr Bob's when in the area... and of course we had to stop in...
What a treat... and eclectic artist who uses many recycled items and has them available for purchase...
We will definitely stop by when in the area again...”
“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”
