“BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! I can not express how much I recommend coming here for all your framing, matting and overall picture needs. I got the benefit of working with Tom today, who is both incredibly personable and very skilled at what he does, and he made the whole experience so much less stressful. Originally, I only came in to get one print matted, and I ended up going back with not only three other prints of mine, but two other friends, who together had around 15 prints. He was able to fulfill the full order in less than three hours, and the craftsmanship is impeccable. There are a couple other framing shops in the Boston area, and none of which will give you an experience, or deal, like this one. Already told my professor to make this shop a well-known one at Boston College, and I'm really grateful I was recommended this shop. Thanks again Tom!”
“I’m so thoroughly impressed with Karenna, her professionalism, attention to detail and artistic eye are unparalleled. Her shop has a collection of some wonderful local artists and she also does excellent repairs. Highly recommend five stars all around.”
“Adam, you've done a MAGNIFICENT job framing my granddaughter's painting of The Rose. The family is thrilled! I can't get over your eye for color choices around the painting. Thank you so much!!!”
“It’s Leica! Quite an experience! Boutique atmosphere serious but not “snooty”. Fine small gallery adjacent. Attentive staff. Comfortable and hospitable. Appointment not necessary but recommended. You will want to take your time. And it will be time well spent. Just don’t faint when you see the cost of these beautiful pieces of equipment!”
“Kolbo is the most beautifully curated Judaica shop I have visited in the U.S. the team has great taste and a keen eye. This is not your bubbie’s Judaica shop. The stores is full of light and offers a combination of modern and traditions items, from kiddish cups to katubahs. Also a great collection of Jewish art and jewelry. Great vibe. Highly recommend.”
“Not the place to go to find a specific book, but a lovely place to go to look for an interesting book. Many of their books are only for sale by collection; the ones for sale individually are fascinating, beautiful and affordable. When I was there, the front of the space was a photography exhibit which was also not to be missed. The employees are helpful, and it's a great place to relax and poke through books.”
“Dorchester Art Project has been serving the community for years. This is the best place for local artists! Rent their theater out for cool underground music shows or check out their awesome studio spaces Make sure to go to a gallery show or see a local band play and support local artists!”
“Delightful place and people (or maybe I was just starved for conversation with some fellow designers?) Either way, thank you for providing the opportunity, Michael!!”
“Always great to catch a show here. Tonight I felt especially lucky to enjoy a private party here. Great atmosphere for a celebration indoors and outdoors (weather permitting).”
“I happened to come across G's Gallery today by chance, I have to say this place is pretty great. The owner was telling me about some of the past events they hosted, and I'm sorry I missed out. sounded like a really great time. Going forward however, They have some more events planned that I hope to be part of.I recommend stopping by and checking this place out for yourselves.”

“This gallery should be on every collector’s radar! The art is innovative and ever-changing. I recently went to their ‘New Horizons’ NFT exhibition, which was the first ever in Boston. The event was a huge success, there was a DJ and a generous selection of drinks at an open bar. It was very fascinating being able to interact with the artists and their work. I highly recommend checking out the featured NFTs while they’re still displayed.”
“One of the most beautiful galleries in Boston! The moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by color, creativity, and energy that instantly lifts your mood. Every piece in the gallery is created by one artist, Sitka, whose work feels both joyful and deeply inspiring. If you ever get the chance to visit, you might even meet him in person, he's so kind and genuine!”
“The building is buzzing with activity; Corbusier built a community center that feels perpetually alive. Finding the Carpenter Center is like discovering the gem within: the exhibition was thought-provoking, inclusive and beautiful. I recommend a visit as well as the fig sandwich next door at the museum Cafe.”
“gateway arts is one of the best art programs ever of all time I first went here back in 2017 and I had a blast making stuff and having some of them being sold and make money from them while there is a part of me that's wanna go back I know there are times were you have to go to other places but I do go back and visit once in a while but I still come over to the events at times I have met so many awesome people at the place stuff, artists and even interns I have seen some of them go but a few are still there, gateway arts you are an amazing place now and forever.”
“Excellent hub for community gatherings, events, classes, workshops, and other types of congregations ! Pretty cool, old building, it’s had some mediocre upgrades, still quite a bit to do. I’m a local that has been helping with that quest, and it’s been getting incrementally better :)”
“Quantum Gallery carries jewelry from the most beautiful designers. Their customer service is the best. I have been happy with every purchase I have made from them.”
“My 2nd time here. Very nice, modern venue with multiple theaters. Staff was nice. I didn’t purchase any concessions, but they had popcorn! I saw Lizard Boy and it was Fabulous!”
“Gallery with a great range of art from emerging artists! They have a really sweet and passionate staff and a super rich history, worth checking out if you’re into Boston history and art history, really fascinating back story”
“My first time at Brickbottom Studios was about 8 years ago. My friend Wally Gilbert has an art studio there. In 1980 he won a Nobel Prize for developing one of the first methods to rapidly sequence DNA. Wally ran a laboratory at Harvard University. Wally also founded 2 companies Biogen and Myriad.Since he has retired from becoming a great Artist. Using a 2 megapixel camera Wally Gilbert started taking Pictures of colorful objects and architectural features that caught his eye throughout Europe. In art and science Wally craves discovering something new. I highly recommend you check out Wally’s fabulous art!!!”
“Boii this is so tuff i went to the 67777777 and saw the tuff troll face edit thoes who know mango painting and went to see the barbershop haircut that cost a quarter with adrian and 41 rap and 21 kg MUSTAAAARD”
“Wonderful variety of high quality, creative choices, reasonably priced made by local artisans. Store is managed and staffed by the artisans, who are always friendly, helpful, patient.”
“We have been taking art classes here for sometime. Happy with classes ! Children are able to learn techniques and express themselves beautifully.
Marte is fantastic always so helpful!”
“I work nearby and have been to Portal a few times to pick up gifts for others (and 1 for myself). To stay the staff is friendly and knowledgably is a massive understatement. Worth a trip for something different and engaging.”
“So much to choose from. Gotta love handmade stuff made locally. Simply adorable. I was so intrigued by all the various things they offer. Since there is a variety of things to choose from like jewelry, tchotchkes, hanging art pieces, face masks, trinkets, etc. So you never know what you're gonna find, which I guess is a good thing, variety is the spice of life. They are in a space w/ Mud Flat so don't confuse the two, they are separate entities. Although some things are pricey since all handmade goods, it's wonderful to be able to support women owned businesses.”
“We saw a really cool exhibit on the traditional art of calligraphy with an interactive portion to try calligraphy. It's much harder than you think and really made me appreciate how talented the artists are. It's free with donation suggested. I would definitely recommend it.”
“This gallery is a must if you are in Malden! It hosts artwork from local artists, thus supporting local art (paintings, vase, pottery etc)! The gallery assistants were very friendly and happy to share with us the story of many of local artists. As tourists we bought a small painting to remind us of our trip to Boston. I highly recommend it!”
