“I have a business down the street from this gallery and every time I go in I receive a warm reception, have a beautiful and wonderful experience, the art is fairly priced for the beauty and quality.”
“I felt inspired while walking through the gallery and visiting with the owner. I added photos of favorites to maps. If you love art, you will want to walk through while in Astoria or plan a special trip.”
“This is the headquarters for their tiki mug distribution.Great selection of ceramic mugs and some tiki shirts.They have a cabinet of jewelry, but that is not what I went for so I don’t have a comment about that.”
“Micheal is incredibly welcoming and amicable. He offers a broad range of services, as well as the gallery. The gallery has some beautiful selections.Overall, it is an incredible place with amazing management!”
“Great little shop that is open later than the rest of the town. There are lots of unique items that even caught my interest. The folks behind the counter were very friendly and eager to assist.”
“This is an absolutely wonderful gallery of fine, contemporary and whimsical art. Original paintings, sculpture, miniatures, pottery, jewelry, prints, and custom framing. Very well curated – there is no junk here!”
“Forsythia is hands down my favorite shop in Astoria. It has such a fantastic, thoughtfully and deliberately curated array of goods. Every occasion I visit, the displays are fresh and I find myself spending way more time than I intended looking at all of their beautiful pieces. I could not ask for a more perfect gift and home wares shop.
The cherry on top is the children's section. It is full of such whimsy that I, a responsible adult, have now fallen in love with the world of Maileg Mice. But there is more- so much more.
Do yourself a favor the next time you are in town and stop by. You will not be disappointed!”
“First time coming here today. I am not an art expert just a regular guy. Teri the owner was kind and welcoming. She showed me what she had on display for pottery today (which is why I came in). She was very knowledgeable about the pottery piece I was interested in. I appreciate that she exemplified and said art is for everyone. Not just the elitists.”
“My favorite local coffee shop. Delicious, friendly and feeds the artists soul. Lovely cups made by the owner add to a homey feel.
Kid-friendliness: The local children are such a joy engaging in conversation here.”
