“A true gem in Lawrenceville. Went for the Gai/Ikebana exhibit. No admission fee. Clean, airy space. Well-planned exhibit. Also, crafts by local artists for sale and space for makers. Staff was very welcoming. Parked easily on a side street near a small playground.”
“Aesthetically gorgeous shop that is part store and part oddities gallery. They have some beautiful pieces in their collection. Worth a trip across town just to look but they have lots of fun things to buy as well.”

“A VERY entertaining tour by a great hostess.
Would be an easy 5 stars if not for the steep stairs and broken railing that was difficult for my wife and I with our bad knees.
With their obvious mechanical skills, it doesn’t seem like it would be all that hard to fix the railing.”
“This was the thing I have never done birthday gift to me. I really enjoyed my morning playing with glass. I will do this again however I enjoyed doing the hands on class most. The check in was easy and the employees were friendly and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was beautiful.”
“Four Winds Gallery is a great place to buy beautiful, high quality, contemporary Native American Jewelry. I've recently become very fond of contemporary Navajo Channel Inlay and have already purchased several pieces from Four Winds. I have one David Rosales piece and several by Jimmy Poyer. I love the clean, modern aesthetic of both of these artists, and the precise, high-quality execution of the work.
It's easy to make purchases through the gallery's website, and the accurate descriptions and multiple photos of each piece mean you can buy confidently. Shipping is fast and affordable, and pieces come beautifully and thoughtfully packaged. I will continue to be a Four Winds repeat customer.”
“Despite the bright panels on the outside, Irma Freeman Center for the Imagination is in many ways a blink-and-you'll-miss-it kind of place. Even after having been past it on foot several times, I often had fairly little idea what it was. My first impression was that it might be a community center for disabled or destitute youths, and therefore somewhere that serves a valuable cultural function but in which I have no place. I was very incorrect in this assumption, as I found out later. One day, while the doors were open, I walked in. I was treated to a private, minimalistic indie gallery featuring work by local artists. At the time, the exhibit focused principally on abandoned sites in the Pittsburgh area, with photographs giving an eerie portrait of the region's history. It was as though the photographers were archaeologists documenting recent times that have fallen into obscurity and ruin. This is of course not the only exhibit: Irma Freeman's collections, ever changing, deal with a number of different artists and themes. Gift shop at the front door and opening night receptions every First Friday of the month. Strongly recommend!”
“A fantastic new addiction! Wonderful opportunities for unique and gorgeous art, furniture, a little of this, and a little of that. The super friendly and knowledgeable people who work there are absolute gems! Can’t wait for the next auction.”
“Amazing energy and such cool art! The artists are all so kind and willing to put the work in to make something you love! LOVE how each artist has a different style. 10/10 would recommend to ANYONE! (Also super fair pricing)”
“Maser Galleries was honestly one of the highlights of my Pittsburgh trip. Brenda and the staff are so warm and welcoming, it feels nothing like a stuffy gallery. The artwork across both floors is stunning and I walked away with a beautiful plate I’m still obsessed with. They had several versions of the same design in different hues and textures which I loved. If you’re on Walnut Street, don’t skip this one!”
“Excellent experience with Nicole @ BoxHeart Gallery! We ordered a painting to be shipped to NC. Her communication was excellent (and friendly). We received our painting quickly and it was well-packaged, and we couldn't be happier with the entire experience.”
“Jason tattooed my beloved cat Chester on my arm and not only did he capture Chester's image perfectly, but he also managed to capture Chester's spirit in the art-- I'm not sure how, but people who have known my legendary cat agree. Jason is also just a great person. A+++ and I'd never trust anyone else.”
“I stopped in randomly making my way through The Strip District a few months ago. After looking at his work, I felt I had found the right person to make the urn for my father's remains. My father died 7 years ago, so you can imagine I've been looking for a while. He was kind and respectful, and our whole encounter, he was honest about what he could and couldn't do.He reached out when it was completed, but I was in the middle of a bunch of different crises. He held it for over a month, waiting for me to be able to get there without ever pressuring me. I finally picked it up today. It is exactly what I wanted simple but one of a kind.”
“Hiroaki Umeda's performance was breathtaking and highly thought provoking, the space was intimate. I'm looking forward to returning to see the follow on installation, very highly recommend.”
“This was an amazing collection of modern photography displayed in a lovely gallery! We enjoyed the artists’ talking about their work. The spread of food was excellent, too. Cannot wait to visit again!”
“Very intimate venue unusual for Pittsburgh. No alcohol, no food, but very original with it's own taste for entertainment. Check it out, plenty of restaurants not to far away...”
“If you're a huge admirer of contemporary art then this is the place to go. Edward Eberle is a well-known and highly respected ceramicist in the 21st century. His work is very refined and in tune with geometrical pattern in relationship to nature. You will feel in zen when you look at his work. I highly recommend this place when you're in Pittsburgh!”
“I loved this place! Very friendly customer service and lots of unique items to choose from. I definitely plan to come back and visit and buy some more! Highly recommend”
“I've been taking a pottery class there and I love it! We're in a small group, we are fairly free to do what we want and our teacher is here to help, answer questions and show us the way.”
“ignore the haters, usually something worth seeing here, shows rotate out frequently. it's a college campus so complaining about the mature nature of work here is pretty hilariously misguided and there are also warning signs anyway.”
“Always helpful in finding exactly the right framing material to make every picture perfect. Very reasonably priced (especially over craft stores with low quality and high prices) and the craftsmanship is always perfect. A++++”
