Nice to be greeted upon entering, but like Nicole said in her review, it is not nice to be followed, hounded and pushed by one of the artists who want you to buy THEIR art. Also we don't want to be interrogated about who we are, where we are from, yada yada. Please let your patrons VIEW and ENJOY the pieces! Also we think they should post "NO CELL PHONES!" all over. People who wander in need to RESPECT the artists, their work, and the fact that the rest of us are trying to enjoy our visit. We don't need to hear your loud cell phone conversations! Take it OUTSIDE. Manners and respect seem to be part of our past. Unfortunately, this is why we don't visit as often as we would like to, as these incessant rude interruptions are beyond annoying. We love the MAC, just not the personal experience whilst inside!

The lady at the counter who I'm assuming is the owner was really nice as well and wrapped my mug up for me and offered to gift wrap it. We will definitely be back on our next visit to Blairsville.

I have never been at their store nor seen their gallery in person. However, George Charriez,…read moreLauren Charriez and Christie have done me a tremendous service and made a wonderful frame. My son was delivering a paint to a show in Blue Ridge, GA. When he dropped it off, the show would not allow it because I used the wrong frame (my fault completely). There was a very narrow window (2 hours) to change the frame or lose the opportunity to be in the Georgia Watercolor Society National show for 2023. 4elementsart came to the rescue and reframed the piece in less than 1 hour. The team saved the day and did it with great humor and skill. I want to thank them all.

I had just bought nice little handmade earrings and then I saw this incredible chair. It was made by a local mountain area artist, talk about having character. And they delivered it, very kind considering how big it is. $250 was nothing for such an individual piece of work. And the earrings were quite modest, $15, I'd recommend to anyone to stop in and hunt through the various artists' wares.

We checked this place out after returning from the scenic railroad excursion around 2 p.m. It is…read morelocated facing the railroad tracks about 2 blocks south of the train depot. It is beyond the new county courthouse building it what appears to be the prior courthouse. Admission is free, though donations are encouraged. Given that Blue Ridge is a fairly small town, the scope of their arts building was quite impressive. When we visited, they had a gallery exhibit that took up the entrance hallways plus what was the main courtroom. Many of the paintings were very good. My impression was that they host rotating exhibits like this periodically. There are certainly towns much larger than Blue Ridge that have nothing like this facility for their arts communities. In addition to this main exhibit, they also had an arts supply store in the building, as well as a kiln in the basement for pottery (including classes). They also offered classes in upstairs rooms, on various arts-related topics. I believe the town also hosts arts events a few times a year (like plein air sessions and festivals). If we make it back to Blue Ridge in the future, we'll likely return here to see what new exhibits are on display. I'm giving it a 5-rating due to it exceeding expectations by a wide margin.
