“What a warm, intimate and cozy gathering space. The art is phenomenal and interesting. I believe there is something for everyone to enjoy and or purchase. The customer service delivered from the owner to the staff is excellent. Plan a trip~”
“Helpful, friendly, knowledgeable staff, able to talk geek at a high level. Wonderful selection. Came into town for this shop, and didn't leave disappointed. Left with some swag and a Howard collection.”
“Wonderful place to see a performance Up close and personal. Online tickets in advance are simple and easy. Plenty of FREE parking. Line to get in is outside so dress for the weather. Many stairs to climb to get to the event. BYOB and FOOD. Such a great way to enjoy the event for a small cost. Tables are reserved so finger foods are best. Enjoy the evening. GREAT MUSIC”

“Excellent experience!! When I talked over the phone for the first time with Bristol (owner) I knew this was the right place that I needed to go for what I was seeking.”
“Great gifts made by local artists! There's something for everyone from jewelry, glass, ceramics, wood, textiles, and more. And you get to meet the artists since it's a cooperative they take turns running the shop.”
“The flowers and vases are unique and stunning! I was fortunate to discover Gallery Belleau at the Art festival in Stuart, Florida. The beautiful hand blown pieces were so attractive and popular that you could barely get into the booth! I selected an arrangement of flowers and stems in a monochromatic style and they look amazing in my home. The staff were so helpful and patient, helping me select the perfect items for my arrangement. I am quite sure I will be back for more!”
“Highly recommend! This place is way better than Michael’s and you’ll have a more personalized opportunity to find the right frame for your art. Staff is amazing. My frame turned out even better than I’d imagined!”
“A true treasure, perfect for unique gift shopping or home decorating. A place to pop in once in a while. The owners are very kind and love sharing the stories about the whereabouts of objects. Reasonable priced.”
“Wonderful galleries featuring local artists. I really enjoy their events. They make the public feel welcome despite it being a club. Some art is reasonably priced, and more accessible than art at other galleries. The buildings are also beautiful and fun to explore.”
“I've ordered several prints of my watercolor artwork as gifts for friends and family over the years and io always does an incredible job. The paper and print quality are lovely and they have been very helpful when I've had questions. Looking forward to working with them on future projects. Thank you for doing your work so beautifully and intentionally!”
“My husband and I had our wedding at the end of 2023 at this event space. We are so happy with the experience that we had with this venue. From the beginning they were very clear about what would be included in our package and pricing. When you have your initial consultation they draw up a price with you after you make food/drink selections so you know how much (including tips and fees) you will pay the day of. I cannot stress enough how much easier this made the ENTIRE planning process as that cost was known up front. Our tasting was such a lovely experience and we felt so cared for by Alex and the staff there - not to mention the food was awesome! The space itself is so fun, I still have guests talking to me about the 1920s bowling alley and how fun it was. The open brick walls and high ceilings really give a beautiful backdrop to whatever vibe you want to bring at your wedding. It was also important to us that we capture a bit of New England spirit and fall magic in our wedding and the space lends itself perfectly to that. Overall I highly recommend this beautiful, reasonably priced space for your Rhode Island wedding needs!”
“The RISD Woods-Gerry Gallery has wonderful high ceilings, beautiful historic interior details, and large expansive windows. The natural light just pours into the large rooms. The artists work showcased are diverse, eclectic, traditional and inspiring.The curators are spot on with their placement, collective continuity, and the balance of mediums. Visitors experience a flow from one space to another that promotes conversations about the pieces.Even when the gallery is full, visitors do not feel constricted or uncomfortable lingering at a certain peice that intrigue them.I highly recommend a trip. Openings are on Thursdays.”
“I went to see my nephews art exhibit. First time there. Very quaint place. I love the paintings of all the other artists as you see what I attached this is Seren William Robinson's work go down and look at it. Very beautiful”

“Very friendly and helpful staff. The collection of jewelry, art and ceramics here is incredible. I wanted one of everything. Picked up some jewelry and handcrafted jewelry box for my daughter and partner for the holidays. I will be back soon!”
“First time in the shop and I was blown away! American, heady glass.
Found everything I was looking for thanks to Steven and his expertise. I’ll be back soon for sure.
Buy your glass here!!”
“I have been painting at Art by You for many years. I have many beautiful platters, pitchers, and gifts I have gifted over the years. The owner is always so helpful and flexible with families with small children! I was even further impressed this past February School Vacation - prompting this review - when upon opening, her shop was filled immediately. She has around 28 seats and every table, except 2, was filled with people waiting patiently for her to get them supplies. However, the 2 empty tables were being "taken" by a rather large group that were asking questions about the paint policy. (Every person must paint.) And were loudly deciding if they wanted to stay. While this was happening, lines of smaller groups were coming in. The owner had to politely turn away three small families while this group was walking around actively whisper-insulting the owner. After about 15 minutes, a 4th family walked in. The owner informed them she was full and the new customers pointed to the two empty tables. The mother asked if she could sit there and the owner informed them that the large group was sitting there. The mother said she would wait, and one of the women in the large group heard and scoffed at the owner. The owner then had to ask the large group if they were painting. That's when the family decided to leave. It was clear the owner was frustrated and I believe she handled it very well considering the way she was being treated. The other two tables were filled immediately and many customers apologized to the owner on behalf of the large group after their departure. She has my business for as long as she is open! As a teacher, people in the industry are often mistreated. It's a shame that this mistreatment is shifted to business owners during school vacations. Please be mindful that employees are people who deserve our respect. Visit Art by You for a calming and fun crafting experience.”
“Sue made a beautiful pair of gold and silver wire earrings for my mom. I gave them to mom as a birthday present and she loves them! She wears them all the time. Sue is so talented and easy to work with. Very satisfied customer.”
