We visited Vail in August 2015 and Masters Gallery was housing an exhibit of Woodrow Nash…read moresculpture. The works and display of his work was OUTSTANDING. We were told much about the artist and we were told we could touch the works; that, in fact, Nash encouraged it. The woman working the days we went in (we visited twice), knew a lot about Nash and the pieces. It was like visiting a museum. She was informative and pleasant and not pushy in any way. I did not care much for the paintings on display, but the space is interesting and dynamic enough for a nice walk around. Recommended!

No matter if I was going to buy or not, the owner informed me at length about a particular work when I asked. My funky little family walked through (2 funky teenage daughters and me) and no one gave us a bad look or sideways sneer. If I had the money, I'd buy a few paintings from this place as I loved some of them. There is enough of a variety to please many tastes. Prices seemed to range from $4500 up to $64,000, so I assume if you buy here, you know what you are doing. Pleasant experience; museum-quality work.

A truly beautiful gallery and retail store for fine art glass. Lots of artists, from U.S., Canada,…read moreand around the world, are presented. There are one-of-a-kind pieces as well as quantity-produced art works. Conveniently located inside the Vail Village. If you are taking a stroll, be sure to pop in and have yourself a visual feast. Check out those balloons floating in air, or those magical jellyfish.

If I could give a negative number I would. The owner treated us very rude and was condescending…read morewhen I mentioned that I had just bought a piece of art from a local art show. I think she actually snorted. After that she didn't speak to us again except to try to push paintings that were on the floor and some of them had damaged bottoms. She really should be supportive of ALL artists. I've always thought that art was an individual thing; if you like it and it speaks to you then the artist did what they set out to do, create something that someone loves and wants to have in their home. This woman does not need to sell art.

Wonderful experience. Owner was beyond kind and patient. Really loved the unique jewelry.read more

He expoused that jewelry was an art form, a smaller version of sculpture. His ideas caught on, & have evolved into an international appreciation for contemporary jewelry & art.

I love J. Cotter Gallery. Everyone who works here is very nice and helpful. I have a necklace and a…read morecustom made ring from here from my boyfriend. I needed to get my ring resized because it was a little big for me. They were super accommodating and nice. My family has known Jim for years and he and his work is absolutely stunning. I love just popping into the gallery in the Vail Village to see what new pieces of art he has created. Also Martin who works at the gallery is one of the best people I have ever met; he is such a joy. I would recommend if anyone wants a truly unique piece of the Vail Valley while on vacation to bring home with them to go here. You will not find a more beautiful selection of jewelry anywhere else.
