“Turtle is amazing! He is very kind and very generously donated a tattoo session to our fundraiser, bringing in a lot of bidders! Can’t wait to see what the winner gets! Thank you, Turtle!”
“I absolutely love this shop! It’s one of my favorite spots in Annapolis! The artist’s work is incredible, especially the oyster pieces and nautical scenes. Each painting feels so connected to the Chesapeake Bay lifestyle, and you can tell there’s a lot of intention and local inspiration behind every piece. The oysters are especially unique. Simple, but so detailed and beautiful at the same time.
It’s the kind of place where you walk in “just to look” and end up wanting to redecorate your whole house. If you love Annapolis, the water, or anything coastal, this shop is definitely worth a visit!”

“The McBride Gallery is a true treasure. The quality of any art venue is determined by the curatorial skills of its owner and staff. Over the many years that I have frequented the McBride Gallery, they have consistently featured a diverse selection of serious, high-quality works. McBride Gallery also features curated shows from regional and national associations that represent the best works in the media and content produced by those association's membership. For me, the McBride Gallery is a must stop anytime that I am downtown in Annapolis.”

“This is a fabulous gallery - a must-visit if you are visiting the city of Annapolis. This is a well-curated, contemporary, professional collection, always something new and standout in the works exhibited.”
“We found unique, historic photographs of Annapolis used to decorate our home from Annapolis Collection Gallery. When guests enter, they always stop to take a look and it usually sparks conversation. We received over the top customer service, and will continue to shop here as we grow our collection.”
“Sarah cut the mat and glass for a personally important print that I made the frame for. Her entire staff is friendly and professional, every time I came into the store I was treated like I was their only customer. She took the time to help me select the perfect colors for the mat, and she did absolutely flawless work on it. The corners of the mat were clean and straight, and the reveals were all consistent. Sarah even sealed up the glass, mat, and backer board with acid free tape to keep the dust out and I was able to place everything into the frame without any hassle. Cannot recommend enough if you have something to frame that you care about and has to be done right!”

( I'm 88 yrs. now)It gives me such peace and joy and appreciation ofyour talent.Thank you so much,Marie More(I now live in Milford,PA where you once lived)”
“From a circular street around the Maryland State House, major streets radiate to form the historic district. It is said that Annapolis has more original 18th-century structures standing than any other city in the United States. If my walk around the many brick sidewalks in the area is proof. It seems that almost every house and building has a distinctive National Historic District plaque on it. The buildings were well-maintained and often brightly painted and ranged from homes, hotels, and churches. A number of nineteenth-century buildings are also included. The area is quite walkable, and one can head downhill later to find many interesting shops and restaurants at the dockside, including the oldest operating pub, the Middleton Tavern (1750), in the state. A signboard at the docks provides a map and listing of many of the historic sights. Parking requires using an online app and is not very straightforward but manageable. It is recommended that one start walking early to avoid the heat of the day.”
“Amazing ! Charming ! Beautiful and high-quality handmade art and decor. Everything is handmade by local artists in Maryland. The service is wonderful, and the prices are very reasonable, considering the quality.”
“I have had a soft spot for Nancy’s art since her early days in Annapolis many moons ago. Her new pieces of art and gifts on sale in her shop in Eastport are fabulous and collectors items. The shop is well worth a visit on a lovely sunny afternoon.”
“If you are looking to frame anything and not experienced with this stuff, recommend coming here. I had them frame random posters for my place. Prices will beat any competitor in the area and customer service is just better than other shops that do this work.”
