I just went here yesterday for the first time in years. I have to say, it's a little disappointing…read more The last time i went they had way more home made crafts that were so cool and interesting. Now it feels more like a goodwill with a bunch of previously owned things people are trying to get rid of. The best thing they had was some homemade dog treats by the register. Good if you are in seach of old dishes or toys that have cartoon characters on them.

Located on the Main Street in Troutdale, Also Arts (formerly Infusion Gallery) showcases works from…read morelocal artists. What makes this gallery unique is that they are part of Adult Learning Systems of Oregon (ALSO) program and most of the art they showcase was created by their students. From their website, Also Arts "is a foundation and pillar of ALSO's programs and services committed to the full inclusion of people with developmental and intellectual disabilities. We believe in providing accessible art opportunities, training, expression, and production." Their goal is to provide life skills and opportunities so that all people are fully included and productive, participating members of the community. Independence is key. How can you not love and support that mission! The gallery is spacious with vibrant art of many mediums adorning the walls and tables. The art spans many mediums - water color, acrylic, glass - to name a few. You can purchase originals and they also have prints and greeting cards. Since we all only have so much wall space, I find that buying the greeting cards and framing them allows me to find a spot in my home while supporting the artist. Plus, I use them for birthday, anniversary or any occasion cards and the recipient can then keep and frame them. The artists who are collaborate with Also Arts donate a portion of the sale back to the organization to further support and expand the reach of this foundation and help other artists express themselves. in addition to displaying art, they have a studio in the back where they teach the students. Also Arts participates in the First Friday Art walk, but no need to wait for a Friday to visit. They are open 10-5 Tuesdays-Sunday. Visit them while you are exploring the charming downtown area of Troutdale. Or if you are heading to the Gorge, plan a stop in Troutdale to have lunch and visit the galleries and boutiques along the way

Infusion Gallery is an Adult Learning Systems of Oregon, Inc. (ALSO) program. (www.alsoweb.org)…read more The gallery consists of local artists infused with people they support. They have over 20 artists at this time from the Pacific Northwest that showcase mediums from bronze to glass and everything in between. Artists collaborating with Infusion Gallery display and sell their artwork to help raise awareness of ALSO, as well as donating a portion of their proceeds to help support ALSO. (Their brochure explains it better than I can) It's a fantastic idea and the art is just superb, eclectic and marvelous. The Art director, Parris Foley is very supportive and so enthusiastic about this art gallery project. They've been here for about a year and I wanted to make sure they were added to Yelp!

Short answer: If you want an incredible piece of artwork,…read moretake the time to go to the wilds of Camas, WA and visit The Attic. It is one of my favorites. And, as an added bonus, the City of Camas is a delight! Longer Answer: I love artwork. I understand everyone has their own tastes. Mine seems to be eclectic. I own everything from original pieces, to vintage travel posters, to signed lithographs, to lots of treasures in between. And one of the best places in the Pacific Northwest to peruse, and purchase, all sorts of fabulous pieces you will treasure is in Camas, WA. It is called The Attic. Unless it is just a hop-skip away, consider looking at their website. I was enchanted! We stopped on the way to purchase a motorcycle in Portland when I mentioned I had seen something on-line. The gallery is fun! It is well lit and spacious without being too echo-y. It is not gigantic, although it is bigger than it looks from the sidewalk. There were several people there when we arrived, looking through the artwork and yet it didn't feel claustrophobic, yay! I also have a bit of a thing for quality customer service. I do not care for pushy, but I also do not want to feel I am some sort of an imposition by being there. Especially when you are talking about something as personal as artwork, and again when there are several potential clients who wandered in at the same time, that can be a tough situation to manage. The gals at The Attic handled it beautifully. I felt seen and acknowledged from the moment we walked in. Yes, I had to wait my turn, fine. When it was my turn, they could not have been more attentive, informative and appreciative. I ended up not purchasing either of the pieces by Earl Hamilton that I had found on- line. Instead, I purchased a completely different one by him that I absolutely love! I will also say I think I showed wild amounts of restraint by not buying several other pieces I fell in love with that day...at least not yet... ; ) The Attic knows their artists. They know their inventory. They love what they do. How cool is that? I will inevitably be back. Visit their website and/or their gallery. I believe you will thank me.

This was not a good experience from beginning to end, but I am not going to give them a bad rating,…read morebecause I think it was just a anomoaleric comedy of errors. They have a very large selection of artwork in a variety of medias. If you are purchasing something through their online portal, I would advise calling to make sure it is still available.

Imagine the joy of finding that one-of-a-kind art deco lamp that goes with your place so perfectly…read moreyou couldn't have designed something so perfect: I'm going for a blue peacock art deco theme. Just think how hard. It is to get the stars to align for this. A gorgeous art deco, petite, ceramic, art deco lamp. The seller had great reviews, , I paid $396.00 for it to ship from the Netherlands. No big deal I thought, my dad can easily rewire it and put a nice long cord on it. I was practically giggly when it arrived but but that quickly changed. It arrived broken and missing its head. My giggles quickly turned to tears. I messaged the seller. She felt terrible, my poor little lamp probably got manhandled in customs and lost the head. The seller felt terrible, she actually refunded all my money including shipping. That was a lovely gesture. I was determined to get the head restored. As I do with all projects I need done I ask Yelp. As always, Yelp did not let me down. As I recall, Jason at The Conservation Lab didn't reply to my quote request, I tracked him down. One art restorer quoted me $1000.00. Jason quoted me $275.00. I said yes immediately. I had actually poked around on his website and was really impressed with the quality of his work. Quite frankly I was shocked that an artist of his caliber was only charging me $275.00 for such a difficult job as recreating a ceramic head for my peacock lamp. But I'm grateful that someone like him is making art restoration accessible to people like me. I gifted him with a charcoal drawing I did. It took him about a month. This job was no small task. He sent me photos of the finished product. I was thrilled. It looked gorgeous. My dad picked it up to rewire it from EU wiring is USA wiring. My lamp came home yesterday, I put it in its place of honor and I plugged in. I just sat back and smiled. 2024 - Review #4
