Art Galleries in Martinsville, VA

“We love Gallery 22! Her art and passion are an absolute inspiration. Great place to shop for one of a kind gifts. We recently did a small group introductory stained glass workshop and had an awesome time. She was an incredibly patient and fun instructor. I was blown away by her creativity and resourcefulness when it came to reusing and recycling for workshop materials. Already scheduled for our next workshop and can’t wait to continue growing and exploring! Absolutely a local treasure.”

“Studio 107 is often overlooked in the Uptown Martinsville location. The storefront houses some items from artists but it is not enough to 'catch the eye' when driving by. The establishment boasts the label 'art studio' but a local 'booth' atmosphere should be expected by patrons. After a reminder from a friend that the studio would be a great place to shop for a unique gift, I headed Uptown to discover what the artisans had to offer. I was greeted by the gentleman whose art was on display in his booth. Then I was 'on my own' because most artisans are NOT present to discuss their work. The woodworking booth was large and boasted several informational displays, so browsing this area was self-guided but easy to do. There was a booth from a local photographer set up to take family photos right in the middle of the mix. A booth displayed Avon products. The back of the building is completely empty - so the booths only take up 3/4 of the bldg space. Somehow I expected 'more' when hearing the word studio. The busiest area was the stained glass exhibit. Well....exhibit is probably a generous word. There were ladies actively buzzing about and tables for classes in stained glass. One of the ladies (the Chicks) let me know there are open classes for all levels of stained glass learning. A lesser known fact since I had not heard this before. Everyone is kind and gracious in Studio 107. I would love to see more advertising about the artists. Did I end up buying anything? No - the choices were limited for what I was expecting from a studio.”
