“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 ❤️”
“We had a great experience. One of our posters was very well loved and slightly torn, but they did a fantastic job and the end result is lovely. Also, it was a super safe and comfortable experience for my girlfriend and I. Can’t wait to come back!”
“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.”
“I have several pictures done by Luci at Picture Perfect. She selects the frames and matting for me. She does a beautiful job! I have needlepoint canvases that are beautifully framed from her. she is very personable and really knows her work.”
“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.”
“So many items to look over! I think they have one of everything ever made. If you can't find what you're looking for here, I don't think it exists!”
“Frameworks is fantastic! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Whether you go in knowing what you want or need design help, the outcome will be great. The turnaround time on framing is very quick and they have options for all budgets. I've been going to them for years and have loved everything they've framed for me.”
“Loved this place when they had art galleries and love it now as a book store!
As a book store, XIA has a great selection of books, with focus on AAPI authors. The store also greatly supports many local authors. All of employees are so helpful in recommending books.
The in-store cafe has many delicious drinks, pastries, and snacks; the barista is always so friendly. I love grabbing a Vietnamese coffee and croissant while looking for a new read.
Overall, this book store is a wonderful place to visit in the heart of St. Paul!”
“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!!!”
“The best place in the Twin cities for all your framing needs!
I've had Doug frame several pieces of the years. Always more than pleased with his work.”
“It's a beautiful space with amazing art from a diverse spectrum of artist and artistry. You WILL find something you love. The only problem? Sticking to your budget! You'll want everything! ?”
“Burl Gallery is a great, modest sized gallery located in Lowertown, St. Paul. The State Fair 'Rejects' offer an eclectic group of whimsical artworks! It's definitely worth a visit to this fun gallery!”
“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.”
“Was just in their new location to find a unique gift (found more than I needed) and when I got home I noticed they had removed the price tags from the items. Such a small thoughtful detail that I often forget to do even myself.”
“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.”

“This place is amazing. Once you take a class you are part of the family. The classes are so good. I've taken 4 so far and with every class I am so pleased with the instructors, the lessons and walking away with something amazing! if you are looking to do something very cool with some amazing people. This is the place!”
“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.”
“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. 🤌”
“I loved this shop! It was my first time and it seemed to be the only one of its kind open on Sunday. Each seller has their own style, yet they all compliment to make a very dynamic place to spend some of a day off. Mostly vintage but what is super special is some of the original art....seems like they score some interesting lots. They let me take pics of things I may want to come back for. Customer service was incredible and I actually had a very meaningful conversation with Chris, whi was running the show. Very knowledgeable. Ill be back for sure!”
“I love coming into the gallery and looking at what new unique art and treasures they have. Jolie and Kiera are one of a kind, as is their store. Framing is top quality and service is amazing. And the cards are goofy and hilarious!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“I recently visited the Creative Flow Art Center in Fridley, it honestly left such a great impression. The space feels welcoming and full of good energy — you can tell they care about art, accessibility, and community. They offer classes, exhibits, and opportunities for artists of all levels, and there’s a genuine sense that they want everyone to feel included. The place has a cozy, creative vibe, and you can tell it’s just getting started with lots of potential to grow.
It’s exciting to see a new art hub like this pop up in Fridley. The staff and volunteers are friendly, the gallery area is inspiring, and the whole atmosphere makes you want to pick up a brush or get involved somehow. The Creative Flow Art Center is a real cornerstone for local artists and anyone who wants to reconnect with their creative side.”
“What a wonderful art studio.
Always changing and growing with the community. Holding space for reflections and expressions of Minneapolis and the amazing people that live here.
Such a great event space too, if you're looking for a space to rent for an event, it's a great venue.”
“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.”
