I was originally drawn to Giddens because I was looking specifically for Manuel Sarmiento's new 'home' after the Artisan's Collective in the BAD closed down (wahhhh) & found he has quite a bit of work here. Also my daughter needed to research female artists for her an art class assignment, so I just happened to be able to have my cake and eat it too here. That day we both accomplished our goals and she walked away with a plethora of (LOCAL) artists to be inspired by and bring to the attention of her instructors and classmates; I walked away with 3 pieces I LOVE. Two pieces (a sculpture and table) by Manuel Sarmiento & a diptych by Rosemary Riddle-Achelpohl. (See pics, aren't they amazing!) Let me also say that a great bonus to this gallery is that it's staffed by said artists, not just someone there just for a paycheck. What a joy to be able to speak with them about their work, hear their stories & see their passion for their craft. There's nothing like having a direct connection to the artists themselves. But don't fret, they know not only about their own work but have vast knowledge on all of the Gallery happenings and other artists showing in this gallery. So ask away about anything and if they don't know the answer they will jump through hoops to get it. Talk about Service! I was so impressed with the time and energy spent on both myself and my daughter in our different goals for the trip. AND when you're talking about Service, they not only delivered but the OWNERS of the gallery delivered to me. They are incredibly friendly, helpful and treat your new art and home with great respect and care. Cherie is also an artist featured in her gallery as well & it shines through that she truly loves both aspects of her profession; both being an artist AND representing the wonderful artists she curates. Don't miss this gallery if you are out shopping for art or if you're just in Grapevine and want a lovely experience seeing local artists' works. ------- UPDATE: kiddo had an assignment to hunt down artists to showcase at class again. I bought art again! It's impossible to resist when there are some truly remarkable artists represented here. Shockingly I didn't walk away with a Sarmiento piece this time. Picked up a watercolor by Naomi Brotherton that I'd eyed last time & couldn't stand to lose the chance to own this time around. The pic I took is awful, but if you know your art mediums, you can clearly see how remarkable it is that this was done in watercolor. Ms. Brotherton is truly mind-blowing in her talent, a master! As usual Cherie was helpful, focused, accommodating, knowledgeable, and a bonus; she's thoughtful. She remembers her clients on sight. She remembers what they bought. She cares! GO to GIDDENS!!!

Urban communities are targets for this "crab and a barrel" mentality, where once someone decides they want better for themselves, their past is reinforced to keep said person in a pattern of stagnant so growth will not occur. #EvolutionOpenMic held every 2nd and 4th Thursday at 211 Gallery is a Godsend to an environment like this. About 2-3 years ago, I attended their open mic event at The Cage on 315 Mt. Pleasant Ave in Newark, NJ. Now located in 211 Gallery, I am still attending and performing; something I never thought I could do. It was the support and appreciation for me as an artist from the curators of these events, the dynamic Professor Sean Battle, and the Incredibly gifted Kween Moore, that helped me expand beyond my own limitations to become more of the art on the outside, like I am on the inside. This place is a place of meditation and creation not only for adults who are artists, but for children. Yes, there is violence everywhere, and Newark is a partaker in it, but that is NOT what Newark is. I believe that one has the power to create their own reality. The message that 211 sends is you were not born just to work, pay bills, and die. You were born for much more. Come to one of the events and I garauntee your whole vibration change on what it really means to live in your purpose.

Rhonda the owner welcomed us with open arms and explained in detail what her store was about. We figured out we could make a sign to commemorate our years together and it was just the best time after that. There are so many options of what to make and the guidance Rhonda provided was outstanding. This place is perfect for a date night, company gathering, or any other event that you want to be creative and have something you can be proud of in your hand when you leave. Cost was not an issue imo and was very reasonable. If you're looking for something fun to do in Waco add this place to your list. I Promise you won't be disappointed.
