“One of the 2 best galleries in Portland, work a wide variety of high-quality artwork. It is mostly contemporary, and mostly 2-D but with some artistic furniture and other 3-D works. Friendly, well-informed staff. Well worth the visit for art lovers.”
“Beautiful unique art work in many media in a wide range of fair prices. A friendly & informative artist in the cooperative was very helpful. My favorite gallery in Maine so far”
“This store has a stunningly beautiful array of artwork for all tastes and budgets. From wood, to glass, to ceramic and beyond, this store is an absolute treasure trove of finds made by local Maine artists. They also offer shipping in case you do not have a way to get it home yourself. I was able to purchase 2 vases as a gift for a dear friend, and they even included my handwritten card that I brought with me to ship along with them. While strolling through Old Port, do not miss the opportunity to check out this shop.”
“We were visiting Portland from New York and were attracted by the display in the store - beautifully crafted painted ceramic plates. We love the details on them - the owner Zafer was a lovely man who walked us through how the ceramic plates are created. We acquired two pieces and he even helped carry the carefully boxed pieces and walked us back to our hotel!
We now have them on our dining room wall and they are simply exquisite! ❤️❤️❤️”

“Outstanding contemporary art beautifully displayed, with knowledgeable staff. Whether you are seeking serious art for your home or office, or just want a brief exposure to the work of some leading current artists, this is the place to go.”
“Shop owners were really great. I ended up having to take my jacket back because it was a little too tight for me but they were understanding and helped me out. I really liked the stuff the brand had designed themselves and thought the prices were pretty fair for what you're getting. Would love to come back sometime ?”
“I love to create art and getting it framed makes it worthy to hang proudly on my wall. I feel confident taking my art to Keith and having him suggest frames that honor the artwork. He constructs them with precision and is fun and professional to work with.”

“RWS is one of my favorite places. Kate, the owner, welcomes collaboration, creativity, and community. She understands that being an artist isn't just about creating, it's also about connecting with a community of people who can help you bring your art to the public (and make money!) With over 50 artists in house at Running With Scissors, there is always someone interesting walking around and something fresh and new to see. Keep up the great work, RWS! ~Abbie McGilvery”

“Fantastic art and working studio. George is so fun to talk with and it’s great to hear the stories behind his paintings and posters! I look forward to coming back.”
“I saw a metal sculpture on their website that was out of stock. I contacted the stores directly to see if they had any in stock, I wanted to purchase 2 for Christmas gifts. Nicholas from the Portland location, assisted me and he was wonderful! They didn’t have any in stock but he offered to contact the company to order it for me. Nicholas ordered them and he shipped them to me so I could have them in time for Christmas. Incredible customer service by the staff, I also talked to others employed at this location. I cannot say enough about Abacus Gallery! Thank you for helping me get one
of a kind Christmas gift for each of my nephews!”
“I happened into this hidden gem while in Portland for lunch. The owner is so friendly and excited about the art in the gallery. And rightfully so! It was a beautiful selection! There’s a wide range of art and all of it made me stop and look for a while. There are some stunning pieces made from torn painted tar paper, some quiet, familiar scenes that are painted on marble, and many different takes on coastal scenes. Really something for everyone. I recommend stopping in to anyone looking for high quality art or just to enjoy something inspiring.”
