“I visited this gallery during NCECA earlier this year and it was the coolest place! Loved the atmosphere and variety of work. Everyone working there was lovely, and I enjoyed chatting with one of the artists, Jane Martin. I hope to find myself in Richmond again someday so I can go back.”
“I love Laurel Gallery and buy my gifts from them to share art with my friends and family. Their hours are sometimes tough to get there but I always check before I go to make sure they are open when I'm able to visit! Loyal customer, Bobbie Brooks”
“Absolutely the best framing shop I've ever worked with... in RVA or DC! My husband and I have used Rick's to frame a print that was a gift from our son, and to frame two original art pieces we bought at a local gallery. We also used them to re-mat a painting to go with new decor. Rick's is on the pricey side, but well, well, worth it. First, the selection of frames and mats is outstanding, and easy to browse. They offer a wide variety of frames in every style imaginable. The staff are wonderful - knowledgable and friendly. We've worked with 3 separate framing experts for our projects and all were extremely helpful, making suggestions and taking all the time we need to get just the right look. Rick's is popular, so if you go on a weekend or lunch hour, you may have to wait a bit. But be patient... the reason you are waiting is because they are not rushing their customers, and they won't rush you when it's your turn. The turnaround time for framing is reasonable, and they call you when your items are ready for pick-up. Rick's is our go-to shop for framing from now on!”
“This place is a neighborhood gift, nothing but good things to say. I wish we had more establishments like it. I kinda want to turn one of its rooms into a little cafe bar ?”
“Cute little shop on Moore Street that includes art and gifts from many local vendor artisans. Great place to find unique gifts or treasures from jewelry to paintings to clothing.”
“went here for the first time today and found some awesome things! i love that they sell local art and support local artists. the person who rang me up was so welcoming and warm, will definitely be back!!”
“This is a small park, and we do it about once a week. It's one of our favorite parks because it's wild enough, and has a lot of shade. It has been especially great during this summer heat. The park has a creek, and it's been renovated along the creek. We are looking forward to it, but at the same time hope it will remain wild enough. And, we use the labyrinth for another little exercise!”
“The CNTR is community defined. There is nothing but humans in the building when an event goes off there. People are all treated with respect and the vibe is always one of support and having a good time. Great set up for many types of events including corporate, wedding reception/rehearsal, music and any other special event. Support your community and small business enterprises Richmond. This is a great venue at a great value.”
“Awesome, unique, eclectic. The variety of funky items is a sight to behold. Great place to find a conversation piece for your home or a special gift you won't find anywhere else. The owner ("Johny Depp") is very engaging.”
“The associate was very nice and complimentary! She made me feel at home and she knew a lot about each of the hats that I looked at. I didn't feel pushed to buy anything. I felt like she genuinely wanted me to be happy with my purchase and even gave suggestions that was from a perspective of fashion and not from a perspective of just trying to sell me something.”
“Local, small gallery that includes art, live music, drinks, and other events. Very good people to meet and work with. If you're an artist, you should definitely check out the place and their website and see how you can participate. They're very welcoming of new artists and their entry process for submitting art for gallery exhibition themes was easy. Generally, the art vibes are dark, moody, and ethereal. The location is a little off to the side from the main Broad Street area, but still worth to take this "detour," especially on First Fridays.”
“Wonderful experience the owner was very welcoming and helpful. Beautiful environment. Definitely will return drove from Hampton. Showed up early to set up for birthday party they helped and cleaned up after.”
“A nice addition to the old space once occupied by the former BK Music...Personally I have sorta missed the old vinyl store. However this is kindaa hip addition to the area... It's bright & open...has a good flow to it....besides it holds art on a rotating basis. Hope it has staying power..Southside could use a little more of this..”
“Lots of great artwork by a lot of talented artists are exhibited there, including the owner's. Anne is an artist/gallery owner who looks out for other artists.”
“A nice gallery attached to a fun hotel concept. Some nice pieces in the attached hotel lobby, and an overall well designed contemporary space. The gallery flows from the lobby space well, and has a variety of small works and gift shop items intermixed. Display was well thought out, and highly curated. There is an overall clean feel with pops of pink that tie everything together, from the work and products on display to the packaging, signage, and selection of two dimensional pieces that support the overall feel of the space. Products range from handmade one of a kind works to inexpensive production items (like sunglasses and plated fashion jewelry). There is a selection for every price range.”
“I had a delightful day exploring Cary Town, indulging in both shopping and dining experiences. Of course, no visit would be complete without popping into my favorite establishment along the strip. The array of art, jewelry, and clothing never fails to impress, but it's the owner who truly makes the visit special for me.
Stepping into the store, you're not just greeted by merchandise; you're welcomed into a conversation. The owner's genuine interest in our backgrounds and the origins of the items in the store creates an enriching experience. Whether it's discussing his own artwork, admiring the beautiful creations crafted by his daughters, or learning about the diverse origins of products from Nepal and beyond, every visit to the store is a journey of inspiration, bursting with color and joy.
For those seeking a truly unique and memorable destination, Cool Colors Gallery is unparalleled. And if you happen to drop by, don't forget to convey greetings from Kansas City, Missouri! Thank you for providing not only a fantastic shopping day but also a truly lovely human connection.”
“Went for an event they were hosting recently and was amazed by the beautiful architecture and displays of artwork. Evokes deep emotion and worth a visit! Make sure to check out the cafe and the shop!”
“Very cool space with a laid-back atmosphere. This place would be great for meetings, events or just a chill session in the city. They have 3 floors and a bar downstairs. They have a cigar room with windows that open up to Broad St, where you can sit and take it all in.”
