Everything is made by local artisans, and many pieces look to be one of a kind. They have wall art, blown glass, yarn art, and lots of pottery. The prices are a little high until you find that thing you love. Then they seem absolutely perfect because if you're traveling, you may find something close but never that exact piece again. The woman at the register was very friendly. I would expect she'd have been able to provide additional background, should I have asked.

Everything inside was absolutely beautiful--glasswork, ceramics, woodworking, etc. I wasn't looking for anything in particular, but soon a pair of cobalt stained glass earrings jumped out at me and I had to have them. The woman running the shop told me a little bit about the artist (Boothbay Harbor, I think he's from) and how she bought a cobalt glass pair of earrings from his collection the previous year, different design). They're gorgeous when the light hits them. Highly recommend stopping in to look at the array of human creativity on display!

Nearly all the art on has an abstract look with sometimes exaggerated features on the people and things depicted with humor thrown in. The art is described on the town website as "whimsical and colorful and full of stories." His tag line is ''Brightly animated stories told through the art with an eclectic mix of materials and genres that reflect the human spirit." The Artist - Russell D'Alessio is a Bar Harbor local and owner of the Gallery. The actual Gallery is in a fitting place - Right across from the Village Green Park in town and next to two craft looking souvenir shops. The gallery is open from Mid May through October but if owning any pieces is of interest, they can be ordered via the D'Alessio Gallery website. If you're in Bar Harbor, amongst all the other touristy things going on you can walk right into the Gallery and take a look around and even chat with him if you wish. If you're an art collector or want to buy a piece on the whim you certainly can here, but that tags run in the quadruple digits. So unless you got Warren Buffett levels of cash, be ready for that.

I absolutely adore this art gallery in downtown Bar Harbor! I purchased a small piece here four…read moreyears ago and had it shipped home and so when I returned this year I was so delighted that the shop was still open. I came in here completely only intending to buy one piece of artwork and wound up purchasing five total- although three of them were gifts for others! The art is completely reasonably priced and all the prices include the frames which is a huge bonus considering half the cost of purchasing a piece of art is getting it framed properly! They do ship the art at reasonable prices to locations within the US so don't worry about not having enough luggage space to bring something home. The gallery owner is clearly passionate about what he does and very knowledgeable about all the artwork and is more than willing to help you pick out the perfect frame for your picture. I will definitely be back on my next trip to Bar Harbor!

The gentleman who assisted us today was so enthusiastic and eager to discuss any painting we were interested in. He definitely knew his art and encouraged us to spend time picking out a piece and then assisted us in matching it with the perfect frame. We spent about 45 minutes with him and I have to say, I feel as though we learned a lot. We fell in love with a gorgeous oil painting on canvas and were very excited to purchase from him. He was able to tell us the technique used to create it and told us a little bit about the artist too. Plus, everything was half off, frame included. Great guy, awesome art shop to peruse and possibly purchase from. It's hard to leave without taking something with you.
