Art Galleries in Cape Charles, VA

“Lemontree Gallery and Studio (LGAS) is a beautifully curated art gallery. It was one of the few places that were open in Cape Charles during our visit and the whole vibe of it starting from the front patio was intriguing, so we popped our heads in. The lady working in the studio was conversing with a patron but made sure to welcome us when we walked in. The gallery is very bright inside and the colors of all the different artwork just added to the vibe. The gallery houses quite a number of artwork without it being too overcrowded. They have a mix of large paintings, ceramics, unique jewelry and even furniture. This is the kind of place that I wish I had more time to walk around in alone, but I was with my family so I did the quickest scan I could haha. I noticed things like painted oyster shells (LOVE this type of art), unique jewelry that feels like a soft plastic/silicone/rubber (I'm probably severely mistaken on the type of material), but it was beautiful, very flat, to almost make the appearance that the jewelry is actually a painting on your skin. There was also handmade earrings made with leather pieces. There was an interesting section of large seahorses that was kind of "bedazzled" for lack of a better word, adorned in jewels. They have this beautiful spacious corner in the back, a stage with a piano and the beautiful brick wall with all sorts of paintings. Not sure if they do some sort of mini concert every now and then. That would be fun! Prices range from small ticketed items to obviously higher for the paintings and other large works of art. My mother-in-law ended up purchasing some metal butterflies. Definitely worth sticking your head in, taking in the beautiful art and picking up some unique gifts! It's marked with a bright yellow awning, hence the name Lemontree (duh!), the lemon cushions on the patio furniture and yes, you guessed it, a lemon tree. Stay safe, Friends!”

“The Ellen Moore gallery is a wonderful place to visit. We came upon it while strolling in Cape Charles and found ourselves surrounded by beautiful art work. Ellen, the owner, is a lovely woman who was welcoming, engaging and interesting. We purchased a necklace which is unique and just beautiful. You will enjoy your visit -- and you will likely find a lovely gift for yourself of someone special.”

“Oh my goodness.... this place is heaven for a person that loves all things Beach, and antiques. What attracted me first was all the old glass bottles and windows outside. I refinish furniture and windows. So I looked at a few and decided that I just have to come back. The pricing was perfect. I want to saw $10-$15 a window. Totally doable! The man outside was so nice. He greeted us and let us roam and take in the sights. There were also beautiful slabs of wood outsideZ perfect for anyone who does projects, especially if it involves epoxy. We then headed inside. A lot of trinkets and craft like items. There were some antique pieces of furniture as well. Just a little bit of everything. If you are heading towards VA BEACH or going in the direction to Cape Charles from VA BEACH you have to hit this place up. At least get out and walk around to stretch if it's not your cup of tea.”
