I recently had the pleasure of visiting Kristen Coates Gallery, and I must say, it was an absolutely enchanting experience. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by an ambiance that exuded creativity and sophistication. Each piece seemed to tell its own unique story, capturing my attention and sparking my imagination. The attention to detail in the arrangement of the artwork created a harmonious flow, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the beauty and depth of each piece.

Stopped in over 4th of July weekend to check it out. Lots of great gift ideas, plus some really fun and beautiful contemporary art. Happened to meet the owner and primary artist Kristen - she was absolutely lovely and engaging. We ultimately decided not to purchase any art this time around, but fell in love with a piece that was already sold by another artist. Definitely stop in and don't be shy.

A cherished favorite! It's one-stop bliss. From the brilliantly curated artwork to the thoughtful and unique gifts, it's my absolute go-to. It also just saved my holiday shopping. Book a virtual shopping appointment and pick up the next day - or ship it - (before the holiday candles sell out) - and trust me - you will thank yourself! Kristen made it so easy and fun, she just put the cheer back in my season. Love love love!

Favorite gallery in Newport! The space is chic without being intimidating and the staff is so friendly. The art is constantly new and inspired. (And this is the perfect spot to come away with a unique gift.)

Kristen Coates the artist is an old soul with a contemporary, stylish, and fun outlook on her subjects. Her work is unique, complex, and has found a place in my home! Kristen Coates the shop is similar -- a treasure hunt of delightful surprises, both in artwork and home decor.

Kristen Coates is a haven for awakening presence and feeling. Sometimes life can be dreary, by walking into her shop on Bellevue Avenue and experiencing the Workshops and Curated membership it’s like a ray of sunshine and unexpected joy that allows you to stop, get present. You quickly realize the shift and see there are amazing women doing amazing things living out their dream creating a special corner of the world. Kristen shares hers humbly and honestly with the world to experience art, design and love.

Her candles are ahhhmazing! My house smells like a balsam tree forest. I keep thinking's it's the real tree but it's the candle I bought from her store! I bough a bunch and gave them out as holiday gifts to my clients. They love them as much as I do!
