We stopped in last week and were thoroughly impressed! The owner (Dorsey) and his daughter (Bo)…read morewere extremely friendly and helpful. The selection of art and artists was unbelievable for a relatively small town, and they knew all of their artists well. They took time to show us paintings they had stored in the back, as well as explaining that we could commission an artist to paint a similar painting in a larger or smaller size. We could sense the joy these two professionals experienced when they were able to share their love of art and their deep appreciation for the strengths of each individual artist. We will definitely be back when we are ready to buy one of the masterpieces displayed in this spectacular gallery.

Located on First…read moreStreet, one of the key areas of Roanoke's art scene, it showcases a diverse range of paintings, sculptures, and visual art by very talented and renowned local and regional artists. The gallery offers an extensive space for art lovers to explore and purchase some very unique creations. The gallery also offers professional picture framing services, to ensure that each piece is displayed at its best. I had the privprivilege of visiting the Art Gallery today and was given a warm welcome by the owner/manager himself, Dorsey Taylor. For over 15 years he has ran and expanded this art gallery, selling only originals from estates, their collection, and a few select artists, and now use Denise Cormany as their frame designer and framer. It is an amazing work how he has restored and improved the different spaces where the gallery is housed, simply with new walls painted white, treating and polishing the original hardwood floors, and installing a new lighting system that brings out the beauty of all the artworks in exhibition there. Most beautiful items, I might say, of all sizes, styles, and forms. The works of arts there are very appropriate for decorating an entire house or a condominium. Their sized fluctuate from miniature etching or paintings to gigantic size ones that could be used to decorate corporate buildings or majestic historic houses of the Old South West or South Roanoke. But if all these artworks are very valuable, even more valuable is the owner himself for his vibrant personanity, all the work he does in the community, too many to name, and his great contribution of the Arts to the Star City of Roanoke. I highly recommend this Art Gallery to all those reading my review and viewing my photographs accompanying it. Stop by to enjoy the current artworks being exhibited there now, come to an opening of one of their new exhibits, search their website and discover the many artists and their artworks available, bring one home and discover the joy that art can bring. After having lived in Boston for many years, I'll never forget when I was starting out collecting a painting from an Amarican Painter, Mary K. Trotter, that had just arrived to one of their nicest art galleries, I liked it so much that they put it on layaway for me so I could afford it. But after I had paid it off, I considered it priceless, and it brought great joy to me and all those who visited and were able to see and appreciate it.

The City of Roanoke is rich in the Arts. Today I decided to go visit this very unique Art Gallery…read morein that it's a Coop Gallery. The members get to exhibit their artwork there, and when it's sold, get to keep higher percentage of the sale than if they sold it through a regular Gallery. If you're an Art buyer or collector, you also win because you don't have to deal with a middleman and so the prices of the artworks are more reasonable. This Gallery is located on Campbell Ave, in front of the Center in the Square, in one of the most desired storefront areas in the heart of Downtown Roanoke. It has a reasonable size long space where different Art medium are exhibited such as paintings, photographs, sculptures, and some creative mediums, just to name a few. I had an opportunity to meet with some of the artists who are members and have their work exhibited there and they were so friendly and welcoming, talking to me about the Gallery and answering all my questions. I love art. Took several electives in Art History while in College. My most prestigious painting that I have ever had was an oil painting by Mary K. Trotter, an American artist who studied in Philadelphia at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts before moving to Paris. I bought it at an Art Gallery in Beacon Hill, Boston, and even had to put it in lay away to be able to afford it. This Gallery is the perfect place for those who love art to purchase their first artwork to exhibit in the living room of their home, or maybe even to begin their own Art collection. If you're an artist, either full time, or part-time, you can consider joining this Coop Gallery and selling some of your art. Whatever you do, I would highly recommend that you visit this Gallery and view the wonderful artworks exhibited there.
