I was visiting the area and stumbled upon this amazing studio that had just the thing I needed in…read moresome greeting cards, and a few gifts for people while I was home. The leather bound journal gifts are really amazing and quality/custom pieces. I work in the world of entertainment and I see gifts and swag goodies all the time and I'm always looking for unique gifts to give special friends or family, and thank you gifts for my own brand to customers and clients. The artist Hannah also does custom pieces as well so if you're moving into a new home, setting up a new office, or whatever, I saw some great things there. Highly recommended and the artwork is awesome. PS - the holiday ornaments are a must-have.

THIS ONE DOES NOT DESERVE A STAR THERE NEEDS TO BE A "NO STAR BUTTON"!…read more If you want your important art, photos or anything else destroyed, then go to Art Masters. The owner and only framer is extremely careless with customers work and does not make the frames properly. He is nice, friendly and the store has so much potential, but again, the risk of having your property ruined is too great-go to Michael's or Athens Framing or some place else with a professional staff and quality control.

Very disappointed in service! Left a work to be framed…read more Estimate received after I left it was much higher than other locations and higher than discussed, so I returned to pick up the artwork without framing. When I returned they had difficulty locating it and finally found it stacked under other framed works, and smeared. Paper originally covering it for protection was missing. Won't return here.

Cozy shop specializing in wood- and gas-fired pottery by potter John Bradford and other local…read moreartists. John brings an earthy, moody style to everyday, functional, beautiful pieces. John has sold his work in some of New Mexico's finest galleries, but this shop is his home--and it shows. It has a warm vibe and beautiful work is matched by sweet sales folks, including John's wife, Dana. Pieces make for great, unique gifts and Bradford Pottery will pack them securely and ship them across the country. We bought friends of ours a wine pitcher and handmade cups for their wedding and they absolutely loved it! Truly a one-of-a-kind place!

At the beginning of the day, I was not even sure that we'd visit here. However, their website noted…read morethat you had to make an advanced reservation to be admitted (per my understanding), so I dutifully made a reservation for 2. As it happened, we were able to make it here around 2:15 p.m. or so on a Saturday. We had visited once before over a decade previously, so I had no real recollection of it. The museum is located within a mile of the loop highway around Athens. We arrived and parked in the covered deck. To access the museum, you then walk down away from where you entered. I found the front desk and offered to show the young woman staffing it our tickets. She said that she did not have a way to actually scan those, so we were waived in... I liked a wall-exhibit as you enter: large letters spelling 'WELCOME' but formed from several types of mounted security cameras (none or some of which may be active...). You ascend a long stairway. to your left is some temporary exhibits. These were more of the 'modern art' variety. A series of rooms about Hiroshima and another room with sensory nausea-inducing video. In the opposite direction are the more static galleries. These are laid out roughly in accordance with art styles or time periods. There is a room devoted to colonial / antebellum Georgia, one devoted to Impressionism, one to 1930's Depression-era works, etc. I enjoyed these more than I did the modern wing. We finihsed up and headed out within an hour. The exhibit is free. Unless there is some travelling exhibit that is of particular interest, I don't think I'll likely be back within another decade, though.

You may head to Athens because of UGA sports. (Go Dawgs!) Perhaps you have kids attending the…read moreuniversity. Possibly you take the drive to eat at chef Hugh Atcheson's acclaimed "Five & Ten" restaurant. But are you familiar with the Georgia Museum of Art? Reason in itself to visit Athens. With a diversity of exhibits in galleries filling the second floor, you're bound to view something -- perhaps many things -- that stops you in your tracks. Representation by the de Koonings, Renoir, Cassatt, Okeefe and other acclaimed artists, you will also be turned on to talent you likely haven't heard of. I was captivated by the photography of Jim Fiscus as well as the gallery featuring work of black artists. Regarding logistics: the museum is open every day except Monday. Check their website for hours. Parking is free, as is the museum. But if you can, consider putting a few dollars in the kitty to help defray expenses.
