“All Fired Up might just be the only store worth visiting on Thames St. Beautiful pottery at a reasonable price point for unique, handmade pieces. The owner and artist is so kind and friendly, my husband and I enjoyed a nice chat with him. Can’t wait to visit again and add to my collection!”
“My friend and I were so charmed by the art and gift selections. From puzzles to embroidered napkins and more, we kept saying “these are gifts I’d actually want.” And the art is varied and whimsical—we especially loved the solid color + text-based art. I am bookmarking this shop for my next trip to Newport!”
“If you love, amazing art, you have to stop in this gallery! Original works by well-known American artists, unassuming storefront, definitely a hidden treasure in Newport!”
“I always try to buy a piece of local original artwork on vacation and I found my perfect piece from my trip to the area here! The girl working the desk couldn't be friendlier and the local art/gift shop vibe here is so perfect for the kind of art buying experience I like. Definitely recommend!”
“Beautiful store and the owner is so nice and welcoming. I loved that she was making the jewlery while I was shopping. I picked up a pair of earrings for my mom which she loved and a pair for myself that I’ve gotten multiple compliments on! Will definitely stop jn again next time I’m down. Highly recommend.”
“My wife and I went to the Manhattan Shorts film review. The venue was beautiful, warm and friendly. Outstanding place for artistic presentations. We look forward to visiting in the future.”

“Great shop in Portsmouth! A real hidden gem. Beautiful pottery and gorgeous alcohol based prints for sale! Literally something for everyone. Plenty of inventory and a wonderful owner artist!”
“Very nice art with some with themes and boats from the Newport area. The tables made out of wood are wonderful. The craftsman of the tables spent a lot of time explaining this work answering questions. Purchased a table and in my case was able to decide on what type of legs. Shipping is also a option also.”
“We had such an enchanted walk through this shop! It is an absolute wonderland of colors, textures and shapes. The creativity of their pieces has me oooing and aaahhhing. The person watching the shop was so friendly and I was so pleased to meet them! We got a handful of their individual beads and I treasure them already.”
“What a pleasant quaint gallery to visit. The owner, Shari Weschler, was engaging in her conversation with my children who are budding artists, well...one of them anyway! LOL... but we had a very informative conversation about the artwork and facility. Excellent place to visit if you're ever on that "strip."*Side-note* That area itself is very BUSY!!! It's like a car and bike show! Lots of Harleys, lots of people walking, lots of muscle cars and antique muscle cars too...Definitely was NOT expecting to see all of that!!! LOLThanks Shari!!! :-)”
“Excellent gallery with local artist work on display. There is a wide variety of artwork. It is definitely worth a visit. We had a lovely visit with one of the talented artist.”
“Jessica Hagen Fine Art + Design is, by far, simply the best gallery in Newport, RI. She changes-up constantly, has many shows each year always seeking to curate the very best art and artists to meet the needs of her clientele.”
“I loved visiting this gallery! The owner, Sandy, was super outgoing and friendly - his photography was beautiful. It's a small shop on Thames St with photos of Newport and travel photography. There's also some paintings, too. I loved the vibe, and purchased a smaller piece for my bathroom. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for local art and a solid way to spend the afternoon.”
“My hubby and I were in Newport this weekend for a wedding and went to lunch at the Corner Café (yum!) when we got into town on Friday. After lunch we decided to walk around the neighborhood and after a block or so of walking we saw a sandwich board which led us to this shop. We had no expectations going in and were both SO impressed. Along the walls and in glass cases were beautiful beaded necklaces, on the higher walls were paintings, and in boxes set around were photographs. The shop was nicely organized and welcoming. The woman working was very sweet and explained the story of the shop to us. Downtown Designs is a non-profit that was opened to provide adults with disabilities with a place to design, make, and sell their arts. Behind the main showroom is another room where artisans sit making their jewelry. I liked a lot of the necklaces but found two that I absolutely loved. Both were made by an artisan named Lilly who was actually in the 2nd room making jewelry while we were there so we got to meet her which was very nice. I bought one of her necklaces for myself and one for my mom. I love the two pieces I purchased and I love the mission of this shop. All necklaces were very reasonably priced and had the same price-point which was nice. The woman who ran the shop (Melissa) explained to me that they can do this because they are a non-profit. I am so happy with what I purchased and really hope to go back to Newport at some point to revisit this shop. I just loved it.”
“Lovely studio and artwork! The gallery upstairs features the owner's unique works and you can sit and read poetry. Worth popping in if in town visiting Newport.”
“We were looking to pick up something for our new apartment and came across Alexander's Blink Gallery on our walk along Thames. My fiancée found a print that she loved but unfortunately they were out of it in the size she was looking for. Gigi (sp?) from the gallery told us that the owner, Alexander "Sandy" Nesbitt, was out at the Newport Folk Festival with many other pieces and that we should check back after the Festival to see if our piece was among those he took with him. We came back the next day, and a different woman (apologies for forgetting your name) kindly looked up our piece in the inventory and told us there was one left at 89 Thames Street (Sandy's main gallery). She was able to have us purchase it at Blink and have it put aside at the other studio. When we got to the studio the piece was nicely wrapped waiting for us, and we were able to have a great chat with Sandy about his art, the festival, and much more.”
“A visit to Anne Hall antique prints Is like walking into Wonderland. I found all sorts of original prints in excellent condition. My favorites were the bird prints & maps, especially the hand colored ones. They always seem to have what I’m looking for, since they are the premier print seller in the nation.”
“Deborah and this store is amazing. I got permanent jewelry with my cousins. Fair prices and amazing customer service. 10/10 recommend. Also lots of local art and clothing.”
“Went to Arnold Art after getting a price at Michaels for a double diploma frame (Masters and PhD). They designed and built an incredible frame. It well exceeded all of my expectations. It was larger than the one proposed by Michaels, but not too big. They added a build up for free. The wooden frame border was significantly higher quality than Micheals. The absolute kicker was... It only cost me $10 more. UNREAL!!! Arnold Art is top notch and I highly recommended them based on my experience.”
“Had a great experience at the gallery this past weekend. Spoke to Michael about the various artwork they had on display and he was informative and pleasant throughout our time in the gallery. Purchased a beautiful framed oil painting of Newport Harbor. Thank you Michael.”

“A lovely little co-op gallery with a diverse range of artistic styles, interesting pop-ups, and several prints and original pieces under $100, so even art fans on a budget can find something. And they are not just limited to nautical/ seaside themes (many coastal towns only focus on that). But the people working there are the true gem...I decided to get a piece the day after I went to the gallery, but realized I wouldn't be able to get there in time to pick it up during their posted hours/before I flew home. I called to ask if there were any possible solutions, but thought it would be impossible unless the business next door was still open (they weren't). The artist running the gallery that day went so above and beyond, not only to learn how to take payment over the phone, but also so I could pick up the piece after hours at a secure location.
And it was not an expensive piece, she was just that kind and helpful. 5 platinum stars. Cannot say enough nice things. ❤”
