I was a reliable customer for Wentworth and spent more than six figures here. Unfortunately, I had…read moresuch a terrible experience at one of their shows featuring an artist that I will never return. I was personally invited by my sales associate, but once I was there, I was told to leave unless I purchased a piece. And, it was done rudely. I left.

The person I was working with, Mike, was such a nice guy! He was very quick to answer questions from pricing to what the description meant. I didnt know what MM/Canvas meant. We went back and forth numerous times on any questions that I had without feeling I was wasting his time. Even in the email exchange, he was great from the time I wanted to purchase to the time of delivery. Wentworth was top notch and I would buy from them again. Wentworth was soo professional and wasnt pushy at all. I love my painting by Paul Stanley. I have purchase 2 original paintings. I am sooo glad to have purchase from Wentworth Gallery online. I cant wait to visit one of their locations to buy or just to see what they have. It is like doing to a museum with wonderful artpieces! You should visit them or buy them online. I am so glad did and I will again! Thank you Wentworth Gallery! Looking forward to our next purchase!

I dropped in at Design Frames with a set of four prints (no appointment needed) and came away so…read morehappy to have found a framing workshop locally where everyone is so attentive, expert, dedicated, and helpful. I greatly enjoyed working with Kaily, a framer with technical expertise and terrific aesthetic sensibility. With Kaily's assistance I was able to compare frame styles and materials, mat colors and combinations, glass choices and sealing techniques. Kaily offered great suggestions that really moved us along from discussing my vague ideas to making decisions that moved the project steadily closer to the attractive and thoughtfully framed pieces I hoped for. I never felt rushed. I felt very welcome in the studio shop. The staff (owner and associates) worked as a team to bring the project together. My artworks are beautifully framed using quality materials that enhance and protect the pieces. The framing materials and style coordinate with my living room decor in a harmonious way. The process was creative and exciting, and I'm truly delighted with the finished set of framed prints. Sincere thanks to all at Design Frames!

Glenstone has been on my shortlist of cultural places to visit for a while! Everything is so…read morebeautiful and engaging to the senses. From the moment you arrive to the walking path, outdoor installations, and the patios and galleries - it is quite the site to see. The team is gracious and helpful if you have questions or would like to learn more about the art. I went on a weekday midday, and I need to go back to take it all in. It got a little hot in the direct sunlight, though each building had umbrellas, which was super helpful. There was plenty of outdoor seating and spaces to reflect and contemplate and just take it all in. I can't wait to go back with my friends and family. I'd love to make it a regular spot - you can accomplish a lot! Reflection, legit exercise :-) art, appreciation, and a yummy meal all at once. Loved it!

This museum is absolutely worth a visit with both friends and family…read more I booked a 1:30 p.m. Sunday entry and arrived about 20 minutes late without any issues. Crowd levels were manageable when I arrived, with only a brief wait to check in, but it was noticeably busier when I left around 3:00 p.m., with about 10 people waiting in line. The experience includes both indoor and outdoor art, so be prepared for a fair amount of walking, including some uphill sections. Plan on spending 2-3 hours if you want to see everything. I also recommend booking tickets at least a couple of weeks in advance. When I visited, all remaining time slots for the day were sold out. Because of the extreme heat, part of the grounds was closed during my visit. The museum provided white umbrellas for sun protection, which I highly recommend, even if you have a hat and sunglasses and the stamina of a horse. Just note that umbrellas are not permitted inside the pavilions or gallery buildings. One thing that could be improved: I found only one water station, and it dispensed warm water. There are benches throughout the property, but much of the outdoor area is unshaded so on hot days you're unlikely to sit for long. The map provided at check-in was very helpful for navigating the grounds. AC is ample in all the buildings including the food venues. My favorite installations were Alex De Corte's exploration of humor, satire, violence, and tenderness through neon installations in The Pavilions and Faith Ringgold's "Who's Afraid of Aunt Jemima?" You'll have to check them out for yourself to see why!

There are 3 levels, and on the ground floor there are models of old torpedos. The rebirth and repurposing of an old factory is very meaningful, as it is now a haven for local artists. However, there was forever a long line to the ladies' room. They should consider renovating the restrooms or expanding them. I understand with old architecture there may be constraints, but given how popular this place is, it is fair to ask.
