I was so happy to stumble upon this place while walking my dog along Newbury Street. Their current exhibit is all about dogs, which is much like my idea of heaven. :) I ended up returning the second day for their dog-friendly reception. It was so well done that I have no doubt all other exhibits are equally top-notch.

Walking in here is like seeing a chapter from a modern art history book. Some artists you may not recognize, but they are lauded as the masters of modern art from the 20th century.

Each time I've walked in, the staff have been nothing but warm and welcoming. Although I'm not the most well-versed in art history, the staff are incredibly knowledgeable and I've enjoyed listening to them speak about the art and the gallery. They have a passion for this gallery specifically, which is evident when you walk throughout and see them interacting with artists or customers. While I haven't decided on a piece I'd like to purchase, the staff are always accommodating and don't seem to mind if I ask them a lot of questions. Highly recommend this gallery whether you're a serious buyer or just looking for an excuse to admire some beautiful artwork!

The style is definitely traditional overall, with a combination of Impressionist, Academic, and Boston School artists represented, to name a few genres. The gallery itself is in an old townhouse that is furnished to look like a home. Don't think they're closed -- you have to be buzzed in to enter. And yes, that's because the work is just THAT valuable. I've said this in other reviews, but I prefer going to galleries over museums when I want to see traditional artwork. The admission is free, and if you ask the staff politely you can probably learn about how the artist painted the work, etc. There are always free flyers you can bring home for your art notebook, too.

But, I have a keen eye, discriminating taste and mucho respect for those who do wonderful things with different mediums. I appreciate when artists or in this instance, gallery owners, attempt to make art accessible to everyone. Howard from the Howard Yezerski Gallery does just this. He recently opened his doors, quite literally, to host a charity wine tasting event. The gallery is lovely- clean and crisp. Howard and the gallery staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating. The pieces on display were interesting and worthy of more than a just passing glance. In the famous words of LeVar Burton: "Of course, you don't have to take my word for it." So, go check it out!

The artist in the main space made origami flowers and took photos of them - that makes it sound silly, but it's really quite interesting and beautiful. The space itself is quite nice. It is on the small side, with hardwood floors. The entrance is a little hard to find - it's right near the Juicy Couture store on Newbury. In the interests of full disclosure.. this gallery very kindly agreed to host our On Your Feet Project wine tasting. Howard and his assistant were gracious and accommodating, and I believe they may have even made a sale or two. If you're in the market for some art, I definitely recommend visiting the gallery and at least talking to them about the local art scene. They seem to be quite knowledgeable.

We'd look at each other, laughing, saying "I am sitting on art!" Though a newly minted teenager, I had the wherewithal to know not to touch anything (unless expressly permitted). This is one of the things about the Pucker Gallery that I wish were more clear. Some of the art pieces were designed to be interacted with, like a unique working elevator-type piece. Paintings? haha yes - I know to keep a respectful distance here. Some other pieces, while I cannot remember the specifics, felt they could have been either. Further, on the same note, there were a couple sliding walls with art slightly tucked away; are we welcome to pull these out, or a no-touching zone? Despite the two paragraphs I just spent exposing my past and putting the gallery on blast, I thought this Gallery was awesome! For what seems like a smaller gallery, they had more works seemingly than several contemporary art museums I'd been to. There were a handful of exhibitions and numerous works within each one. The best part: entrance to the gallery is free! Especially where tickets to the, [in my opinion small and underwhelming] ICA and Mass MoCA are $20 and $25, respectively, this is beyond amazing! Thus, Pucker Gallery is in a league of its own. It is like a free mini-museum that I would happily visit again, either alone, with a friend, family, or even a date!

When you enter the building, you'll have to take the elevator upstairs to reach the actual gallery. I was impressed by the size of the place, especially given it's on Newbury Street. I'm honestly not a huge art person, but I really enjoyed walking around the gallery. There was a wide variety of art, so there's something for everyone. I especially appreciated how there was a lot of signage with information on the art, as well as some tv screens with educational videos. I'm not sure if this is the type of place you can often rent out for events, but if so, it's really a cool spot for that purpose. I hope to come back and visit Pucker Gallery again!
