“My experience with art direct has been phenomenal! I have stopped by multiple times to discuss various prints for my wedding including a portrait for guests to sign around, custom framing options, photo scanning/printing, and prints for signage like my welcome table, bar sign etc. Each employee has been extremely informative, kind and helpful but my experience with Geo on Saturday was top notch. She spent over an hour working with me, and never made me feel like an inconvenience or as if I’m taking too much of her time. She was eager to help, listened to my thoughts and concerns, answered all my questions and made extremely helpful suggestions. Geo even helped get some my prints to me same day so that I can check off some of my stuff wedding to-dos and feel good about it! For my venue portrait print specifically, Geo helped work through the sizing and coloration of my photo making it better than I could have imagined and payed attention to the details Can’t wait to keep working with her & the rest of the art direct team.”
“I’ve purchased many art pieces from Art for the People. They have an amazing selection at all different price points. I also have found good local Austin gifts… I will be back soon!”
“I have ordered from this company before and they have done wonderful every time!! With my banner and my new prints, Mindzai has been wonderful to order from!! Their customer service is also fantastic!”
“I highly recommend the Ao5 Gallery. Their friendly and knowledgeable staff were very helpful, and they have a wide collection of art. The first time that I went to the gallery, since I was interested in Dali works, the owner took me to the Dali room and discussed the works that I was interested in and discussed various artwork on display. Also, I am afraid sometimes when I buy art on-line, since I might not be buying authentic pieces. But all of the Ao5 Gallery pieces are authenticated. Finally, the Ao5 Gallery has pieces that are only $10 to very expensive pieces, and they also do great framing. If you have time, I highly recommend that you stop by the Ao5 Gallery when you are at or close by the Arboretum.”

“The coolest art installation in austin. The owner/artist is was super nice and let us in without any payment or donation. You could
Come back to this place 10 times over and still find new details you missed before.”
“I had a private 2 hour session with my boyfriend and it was an amazing experience! Grisha worked hard to both teach and guide so we were able to create the pieces more independently. We created bowls, flowers, mushrooms and more! I would absolutely recommend this experience as well as Grisha as an instructor!”
“I’ve framed several concert posters with DTW, the team is so talented and helpful, and their selection of frames and glass + expertise makes this incomparable based on my experience. You get what you pay for y’all, these guys make it come to life”
“Most welcoming tattoo studio I’ve ever been in. Everyone was so nice and the vibes were great here.
Jenny killed it on my tattoo and I can’t wait to be back”
“This store and staff are amazing here! My friend wanted to show me a cool toy shop in ATX last year around March. To be open, when I first went my inner child lit up and my adult self was glad I found this amazing gem in Austin! I didn’t know it would only get better! When I was there the they ran out of the plushie I wanted. The staff actually put my name on a list. Here were are now, and I had a voice mail from Alexa that the item was in the store! When I called back Ashton was more than willing to confirm the item was still in stock and he would be more than willing to hold it for me. They were so kind and polite. The environment and aura of this place and the people is pure joy. What customer or consumer doesn’t love impeccable customer service! This place is the 8th wonder of the world!”
“a neat little place showcasing many different local artists, paired with the sweetest staff. i visited with the intent of just browsing but ended up walking out with something!”
“We found a number of nice things. The people could have been nicer. The young sales people were ok, but the older lady there was clerly not happy we were shopping there.”
“Excellent art gallery at the corner of the main building in the larger canopy complex.
Exhibit openings here are warm and welcoming, a way to see the proprietors and see people browsing the art with price lists in hand. Sometimes you are fortunate enough to hear an artist telling people about their work. The back of the gallery is fun to explore as well, keeping work from previously highlighted artists. The gallery participates in the monthly canopy open days 1-4pm every first Saturday.
There is a large free parking lot wrapping around the building.”
“Todd Sanders really knows his neon. He creates beautiful neon artwork and his store/ gallery is iconic. Modern vintage. The work shown here is timeless. One day I will own a piece from here (hopefully!)”
“The vibes of this place feel off... there was a big patch of empty space in the store without any shelves or displays. The art for sale in the gallery is a bit overpriced for digital prints, though it's not unexpected considering the artist only gets to put one print up and have it up for a long time. I was about to leave the store when I found a cool toy line consisting of animals you can take apart into anatomical meat pieces. If I didn't find such a cool unique thing I probably would've labeled this place as a rather average run of the mill anime figurine store.”
“From the minute my sister and I, walked into the store, Christopher ( Chris) made us feel right at home. Very professional, kind and helpful. He made our shopping experience a great one.”
“The artist's unique eye for composition creates stunning visual narratives that truly captivate the viewer. Their use of color and light is masterful, evoking a sense of emotion and depth in each image. The unconventional angles and framing choices add an intriguing element to their work, showcasing a level of creativity that sets them apart from others in the field. Overall, their compositions are nothing short of brilliant, leaving a lasting impression on anyone who views their photographs.”
“A great gathering spot for art appreciation and socializing at openings. So many wonderful pieces for all budgets including musician makers and outsider artists.”
“Lovely remodel/restoration old bakery- with original stonebrick, huge, oven!Large selection of local artists' wares, souvenirs. Tourist informațion.Upstairs: historical gallery and museum pieces. Also art gallery with rotating exhibitHandicap entrance. Elevator. Clean public restrooms and water fountain.”
“What an amazing space with beautiful art of multiple types. Deanna (gallery owner, photographer and artist) is so engaging and really makes you feel at home in her gallery. If I’m Austin or his is a must visit.”
“They serve Anderson's Cold Brew + Espresso, Zucchini Kill + Russell's Bakery Items, Coconut Bliss Ice Cream, and so much more! Poor exterior signage / marketing, so enter through Terra Toys main entrance.”
“Each time I've visited this gallery, long thought has gone into installing the works they display. The sense of space and interaction between the visitor and work is always effective in making you feel you're moving through the work.
This gallery is within a block of a couple other great galleries, as well as restaurants and bars, making for an enjoyable afternoon. There is also free parking in front of the gallery and on streets north of it.”
“Melissa and the team at Austin Art and Frame always go above and beyond to make sure every piece of art is meticulously framed. They have great input when it comes to choosing a frame and have helped me with everything from custom shadowbox frames being built around three dimensional art to assisting with a very specific frame installation that attached to a motorized television enclosure. Highly recommend!!!”
“Several years ago I asked Images of Austin to make a customized shadow box for displaying so very old pipes and they did an excellent job. Today I asked them to frame two very old maps in a way that will protect them from the sun and humidity. I may have to wait a couple of months to get them back, but I know they will be protected from the elements for many years.”
“One of the best spaces I've seen around the world.. The hosts are humble, kind and true caring people who aren't greedy or care about suppressing the guests and all while keeping it secure and intimate.The vibe is immaculate, people of all walks of life come here day to day, different groups. Many return, and many new travelers each day come thru and are blown away by the beauty, aesthetics, creative detail and imagery. I've been here for a few days and the sleeping arrangements are comfortable and clean.. It's truly one of a kind..”
“Wonderful little art and event space, decorated with comics and movie inspired art, and with vintage clothing and art for sale. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly people. Varied eclectic and interesting evening events, and also occasional kid friendly happenings.”
