“Came here today for my 2nd and 3rd piercings ever. Liz was very friendly and professional. I was quite nervous getting two dorsal frenum piercings, but she made it not so bad.”
“The staff are friendly. Frames are expensive but great quality. You get what you pay for.
I got frames here for a few pieces that were not standard measurements and went to Michael's for frames that were. The feel of the frames and how they are put together is night and day.
I will come back if I get something else I want a special frame for or one that needs custom framing.
Support local where you can ❤️”
“Really high quality pieces here, and super friendly guy working in there. I just wanted a cheap piece while I was in town visiting, and picked up a little sherlock. At first I thought it was a little overpriced, but I didn't realize how good it was until I got home. Perfect ergonomics for hand placement, and a couple of subtle design features that added to its beauty. Definitely one that I'll give to a friend when I leave, rather than throw it away. Great artists working there.”
“Such a peaceful & calm place to visit. The staff are very kind and welcoming. The kaffebar has good options for food and drinks. Highly recommend visiting the Norway House!”
“Went for the 2025 Art-a-Whirl and it was a blast. Only made it through 3 of the four floors this time.
3rd Thursdays are an event where most studios are open.”
“This artist space is newer to me but it packs a lot of charm. The tight corners and winding hallways lead to a variety of studios with a plethora of art to admire and take home. I've always had a good time with artists here and never felt like I was pressure to purchase any pieces. If you walk further down the main hallway you'll find yourself in the carriage house with even more studios and a great leatherwear store which you can buy cut to order belts among other accessories for a fair price.”

“After literally getting around 30 things framed here over time, I'm finally reviewing! Khahn is the best in the business, hands down.
Met him at an art crawl, checked out his gallery, and knew I found my guy. He's a total perfectionist who knows his stuff and gives fantastic recommendations. I recently trusted him to reframe an authentic Matisse, which tells you everything you need to know about his skill level.
We also love popping into his gallery to see what he's showing and have bought a couple of cool pieces from him. Plus, he's just a really nice guy! Highly recommend!!!”
“Visiting this gallery for the first time to watch the phenomenal band The Black Widows play during “Arikara Proper,” a solo exhibition by J. White.
Featuring live music from local band Black Widows, and food courtesy of Trickster Tacos. What a fabulous afternoon! I will return.”
“Owner was friendly. The store was full of amazing items from beautiful jewelry and clothing to unique books. Loved the atmosphere and the art pieces on display will definitely come back to buy more some time.”
“The best gallery in MN! 💖 Amazing art, amazing people, amazing community. A must see for visitors, locals and serious art collectors who appreciate quality and originality. 🤌”
“Amazing exhibit of the most exciting, colorful, and expertly painted pictures of nature and popular Minnesota attractions.Michaels paintings are fantastic. His art studio includes prints, magnet as well as original paintings. You will not be disappointed. And the location has plenty of parking. With a delightful little coffee shop in the same building.”
“A beautiful gallery space with inspiring and thoughtfully-curated exhibitions. I've greatly enjoyed their programming, opening receptions and artist talks, and highly recommend a visit!”
“The premier artist housing and studio developers in the nation. Can’t say enough good things. Out this organization and it’s dedication to insuring affordable housing and studio space is available for America’s creatives. Honestly the world needs more orgs like artspace!”
“Awesome assortment, reasonable pricing, super helpful staff. IMO it's the best place in town for beading supplies. I even picked up a fun book on Japanese beading that is out of print!”
“We have had Icebox frame several pieces for us over the years and their workmanship is fantastic. Their frames are beautifully constructed, and they have an excellent eye for the right frame, the right mat, the right proportion.
Not only is the workmanship lovely, it also stands the test of time. Pieces that we have had framed elsewhere were not always properly sealed, and small bugs would get behind the glass. We have never had any piece that Icebox framed, slip behind the mat.
Over the years, I have referred friends and clients to Icebox for framing unusual items, or as a resource for fine art photography. Without exception, everyone has been very pleased.”
“Beautiful selection of pristine quality mid century modern furniture. This is a joy to walk through, even just to window shop. I will definitely be back in the future when furnishing my home!”
“McNulty is one of our founding members and his studio is a wonderful place to visit and check out his exquisite abstractions. His distinct style stands out amongst the many nonobjective painters in Minneapolis. You can find his work in the local corporate collections of US Bank Stadium, UBS Financial, Emerson, and General Mills.”
“Great place with a variety of products. Singing bowls, carvings, textiles, jewelry, painting. The owners were very engaging. Felt like I'd known them forever.”
“Amazing place, instructors are kind and awesome. Its impossible not to have fun! You can learn and do anything from welding to sewing to 3D printing and laser cutting!”

“I've attended a dozen performances perfprmed by some of my favorite local theater/dance companies and the spaces available within the Vine Arts Center are of a very high quality. I would recommend attending anything presented here as the vibe is informal yet highly cultured. Enjoy!”
“Absolutely Incredible! The kind of community art space you ideally hold in your mind, except here it’s real. As a veteran arts educator with over 15 yrs of experience this place is what I hope the students in the schools I have taught within would have access to outside of my classroom. Hands down amazing!”
“When you walk in it feels like you're good friends with all the local artists displayed, and much for sale as well. You might even get the urge to simply create something that didn't exist before. Awesome people here😊”
