I brought my two-year-old with me to browse (bad idea) and he was patient and sweet. He even entertained my son with a wooden duck and made him laugh. The piece took a couple weeks, as I advised there was no rush. Doug upgraded my glass to museum quality to thank me for waiting. I will attach a picture, although my I phone camera doesn't do it justice. YES I recommend this business!

Fun space! Known…read moreusually as the A|Z Gallery, it's located on the ground floor of the Tilsner Artists' Cooperative in St. Paul, kitty corner from the Farmer's Market. They've got an ever-changing collection or art, seemingly from local artists. With room for all types of hanging art, and larger pieces in the center of the room, the A|Z Gallery looks like it would be a great party atmosphere to host openings. I've never been, and frankly don't know if they do that, but the location looks fit for it. Parking is hit or miss; not many street options now with the surrounding roads dug up for the Central Corridor project, but you can take advantage of the Farmers Market lot (if not already occupied) or the Tilsner lot itself. I honestly don't know if you have to pay for those two...but I've never been towed.

Not sure if I am qualified to write a review on an art gallery, but I'll try anyways. You see,…read morethis was my very first "art gallery experience" so I have no comparisons. Except for the "art show" that my friend's children set up in a corner of their room....so, yeah. AZ Gallery was holding an event - A Midwinter's Dream - that featured local women artists and their various crafts. Everything was represented there from homemade candles and perfume to photography, shadowboxes, and jewelry. To be honest, much of the reason we went was to support a couple of friends at the show. Wandering around the space was easy and fun - I had a great time talking to each artist, some were members of the gallery, others were guests of the gallery. And the members of the gallery were super nice too. The gallery did a great job of laying out the space so that it didn't feel too crowded either. I can't tell you much more about the gallery, hours, trivia, or anything else really useful. But, if you see another event of theirs pop up, be sure to check it out! They do know how to host a nice party and they have some great artists.

Amazing art from (mostly) local artists - stop in and check it out!…read more Wow, this space is packed with beautiful stuff from talented people!!! Words can't do it justice. You have to checkout my photos. Or even better, you should stop in and look in person. I'm calling the gallery itself 5 stars. The artwork is incredible and the displays are very nice. Everything is laid out nicely. I'm calling the customer service 2 or 3 stars. We were both pretty disappointed. I'm averaging the entire experience out to 4 stars. The manager or the "DIRECTOR" was a combination of disinterested, stand-off-ish, unfriendly, and snobby. She was far more interested in assembling a new display with another staffer than talking to us. She couldn't be bothered to greet us or to help us or to discover our interests, guide us, or use any professional customer service skill set whatsoever. Bummer. Everything has a price on it, right? Everything is for sale, right? I hunted her down a few times to ask questions but I felt like I was bothering her. And the other person never said a word to us. Oh, well. We walked out without opening our wallets. This is the kind of experience I expect from snobby people in Downtown Minneapolis. One of the big reasons I drive all the way to Hudson, Wisconsin is to avoid this type of thing and to deal with real, down to earth, friendly people. Ooops, not here though! I'm glad I stopped in but I probably won't be back to this one unless I see a different person working inside. And if I buy something, I'll track down the individual artist on social media and buy it directly from them. -Daddy Maxx Retro

I'll admit I haven't met or gotten to know the new owners and staff due to the pandemic, though I look forward to doing so. So appreciative of the new owners taking on a new business at such a difficult and keeping an amazing gallery in Hudson! The person who I do know at Seasons is Rachel. This is where I met her and now consider her an a friend. She has helped me find the perfect gifts and art for years! I'm not a huge buyer of incredibly expensive art. But she has sent art home for me to try in my space, helped me pick out frames for prints, even come out and helped me hang art. Thank goodness for her continuity there! And her wonderful shows! They are an incredible amount of work to set and video. I will be back more as things normalize!

Depending on the size of the crowd, parking and entry can be a breeze or really tough. It is a venue that has a lot of potential, with both the inside of the building and the outdoor field where ABR is held available as potential space. I guess I would say that I feel the ABR is too big for this venue and there are parking issues (not to mention the wrap-around-the-block hour-long wait to get through the gate). Other things I've been to at this facility seemed better suited. For the record, I do think that reusing an old building period is awesome. It's way better than just letting it sit there. :-)

Someone reminded me of this newish gallery that I had heard about but hadn't been to yet. Thank goodness for this place! They have art and crafts made by local Southeast Asian artists that you can buy in the spot. I bought some lovely drawings by Tori Hong for just $30 each. They also have a good stationary selection. I got some thank you cards that say "thank you" in Hmong! I saw aprons with Hmong designs, cute pillows, stickers, mug coasters and more. The space felt airy like a gallery and the folks running the store were super friendly. Do you need gifts for friends, family, or coworkers? Are you needing things to make your office space or retreat space more fun, colorful, & inviting? If yes, you def got to check out XIAART & support some awesome local artists at the same time. Win-Win!
