“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!!!”
“The art in this gallery was absolutely stunning. Sitka's paintings brought me to tears—his choice of colors and the way he captures both Boston and nature is simply incredible. Meeting him and his wife, Helaine, was a delight; she was so warm and welcoming, which made the experience even more special. I love his work and hope to have one of his pieces in my home someday!”
“We rented a chuppah and talit from Kolbo for our wedding and also bought a Ketubah and glass from them and they were wonderful throughout the process! Pickup and drop off of the rented items was seamless and the Ketubah (handmade) and glass were beautiful and delivered in a timely manner”
“I loved working with Corrine and Brian! They were super helpful in getting everything together for me. After an unpleasant experience with another store / lost package / no follow-up and delay of refund, this store came to the rescue...Thanks ya'll!”
“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!!”
“If you are an architect or an architecture fan, you should come to Cambridge and make a list of remarkable buildings between Harvard and MIT. This is the only building in the United States designed by Le Corbusier. It is an obligatory stop on your tour. Le Corbusier came twice to Harvard before the construction but was never able to see the work done.”
“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.”
“Had an absolutely amazing experience at this shop -- thank you Julie and Holly for bringing my corny cute idea to life in a frame -- and in record time! Took a shot on them from a Google search, and they will now be my go-to frame shop for whatever I need going forward. Prices super reasonable as well.”
“I love seeing what the artists keep bring out. Fantastic art for a gift or to beautify your home. They also run an open mic which is an amazing neighborhood experience.”
“A small but distinctive exhibition space that features mostly new photography. We saw an impressive student exhibition that featured a handful of creative and thought provoking pieces. There were also several large outdoor cubes with photos displayed when we visited in August. Gorgeous location by the water and we saw several ducks and swans.”
“went this past weekend to see Nüwa in Fairyland!! such a good show and cast, it was Queer AAPI night so i got to see lots of other queer AAPI in the audience ?? loved the atmosphere and their blackbox theater!”
“Outstanding. Such a lovely mansion of a home with interesting art for sale. Not crazy expensive. Fun commentary along with artwork. Clever. Warm and inviting. A lovely exelperience.”
“Love the range of great artisan products and exciting events being held at this gallery. The staff are really nice and welcoming! They use all pre-cautious measures for covid-19.”
“Beautiful space showcasing local artists. Small venue is perfect after a lunch or between activities. Spend 20-30 minutes unless shopping stunning finely crafted pieces for sale. Finds include jewelry, wood works, toys and decor pieces in pottery and paintings.”

“I have been a collector of rare books for 3 decades and have never been in a shop with such fine employees. I brought my 20 yo son who had never been in a similar setting and they immediately attended to him and helped him to feel comfortable and appreciated. While they are not the largest antiquarian bookstore the volumes they own are carefully curated and chosen for people with budgets from $50 to $50,000. I have no other relationship to them except as a customer and get no discount for my opinion (I wish!). Much luck to them. Ask to see the Picasso miniature!! Jim”
“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!!!”

“I always enjoy browsing this store but often don't find much. One exception was when I scored some sweet coolers here at a significant discount off retail over the summer. I find the lighting and "artwork" here kind of tacky and low quality but they have some good functional items for organizing and for laundry as well as festive tableware and cooking items like measuring cups at good prices. Also check the Home Goods in the same plaza if you're looking for something specific.”
“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.”
