I have been shopping at Stewart's Gallery for as long as I can remember. I'll say 15 years. Every…read moretime I go I am surprised by the many new items and artists. It's still like going to a curated artisan show- everything is very professionally made, and there is a wide range of prices to make affordability not an issue. I've bought many wedding gifts here, as well as gifts for family and friends, not to mention myself. Bill and Holly have an ease about them. They are happy to let you browse but are there if you have questions or need help. They are in a great location and have a few parking places out front and there is public parking very close by. Go check out Stewart's Gallery- you will be glad that you did!

The Art Trail Gallery is a neat business for Florence. I went there today for a company…read moreChristmas/holiday party. I didn't realize you could have a holiday party in an art gallery, but I guess you can. It was actually a very neat place to have it, because we could walk around and look at the art before the party. The art is for sale, as most galleries are, and of course, most of it is expensive and out of my price range. However, there was a wall with prints for $20 to benefit a charity. I thought that was neat. They also had Christmas ornaments and jewelry for sale. It's a neat place to walk through if you're in the Florence area. There's a parking lot about a block down, right across from the Central United Methodist Church.

I recently visited Art Trail Gallery for an alumni event. The gallery is located in downtown…read moreFlorence, SC. The city is revitalizing the downtown area and this gallery seems to be one of the city staples. The gallery is very large and has a great presence from the street. Walking by you get a great view of the gallery without going in. Once you are inside the gallery, the space is large. This particular event had live music and tables. There was enough room for the bank and at least 35 tables. With the band, tables and food setup, there was still plenty of space to view all of the awesome artwork. The artwork was very nice. There were oil paintings, sketches, sculptures etc. The most memorable pice was large sculpture of a man and horse, which was about 7 or 8 feet tall. I didn't get to view all of the art due to the nature of the event. The event was more of a networking function, which kept me busy. However, I'd visit again because the artwork was beautiful and I'd like to view all of it without interruption. The curator was nice and knowledgeable about all of the work. He encouraged everyone to visit again for a more intimate experience with the art. The gallery was very easy to get to. There is plenty of street parking and a parking lot that is close to the gallery. I plan to visit again.
