I absolutely adore this art gallery in downtown Bar Harbor! I purchased a small piece here four…read moreyears ago and had it shipped home and so when I returned this year I was so delighted that the shop was still open. I came in here completely only intending to buy one piece of artwork and wound up purchasing five total- although three of them were gifts for others! The art is completely reasonably priced and all the prices include the frames which is a huge bonus considering half the cost of purchasing a piece of art is getting it framed properly! They do ship the art at reasonable prices to locations within the US so don't worry about not having enough luggage space to bring something home. The gallery owner is clearly passionate about what he does and very knowledgeable about all the artwork and is more than willing to help you pick out the perfect frame for your picture. I will definitely be back on my next trip to Bar Harbor!

My husband and I have been in this shop each time we have visited Bar Harbor. They have absolutely…read morebeautiful artwork including local landscapes. The gentleman who assisted us today was so enthusiastic and eager to discuss any painting we were interested in. He definitely knew his art and encouraged us to spend time picking out a piece and then assisted us in matching it with the perfect frame. We spent about 45 minutes with him and I have to say, I feel as though we learned a lot. We fell in love with a gorgeous oil painting on canvas and were very excited to purchase from him. He was able to tell us the technique used to create it and told us a little bit about the artist too. Plus, everything was half off, frame included. Great guy, awesome art shop to peruse and possibly purchase from. It's hard to leave without taking something with you.

Featuring works by local artists (hooked rugs, scarves, photographs, paintings, rock art and more than I could write here), it feels a lot like stopping by and visiting a friend with a really cool house. You can poke around without feeling intrusive and it seems the people running the place are genuinely happy to have you there. The back building is full of books and antiques while the front building holds the artwork. A seasonal gallery is located in a side building featuring even more artwork. I'll be back to see the new stuff (and to see what of the old stuff has sold).

We stopped here one evening shortly before their posted closing time. We were just browsing…read moredowntown and this shop had an interesting collection of paintings by local artists. It was certainly worth a look. We are probably not the target demographic for this place - i.e., we are not likely to spend several hundred dollars or more on an impulse-buy painting. However, I'm sure there are others who are much more serious about collecting. The shop has been here for quite a while, apparently, so they know their business. We ended up talking to the lady who owned the shop for quite a while - she had a lot of interesting info about the shop, art, the town, etc. I would definitely recommend stopping by here if you are in Bar Harbor.

The Good: *This location has stuff made by 60+ artisans, according to the lady at the register. *Speaking of the lady at the register, she was helpful, efficient, and friendly. *Great place to pick up unique gifts for loved ones or to take home something really cool for yourself. We found a nice painting of a lighthouse that we're bringing home. :) *Speaking of stuff, their selection is voluminous with tons of stuff from clothing and paintings to postcards, jewelry, and much, much more. *Prices are actually fairly reasonable considering the quality of the products--and especially the tourist factor of the area. *Wifi thru Xfinity Mobile, which is a life line in this area The Meh: *Store is a little tight in spaces, especially if you're an ogre like myself The Ugly: *Zero cell signal in the area Conclusion: Fantastic place to grab locally made goods at a reasonable price.

Nearly all the art on has an abstract look with sometimes exaggerated features on the people and things depicted with humor thrown in. The art is described on the town website as "whimsical and colorful and full of stories." His tag line is ''Brightly animated stories told through the art with an eclectic mix of materials and genres that reflect the human spirit." The Artist - Russell D'Alessio is a Bar Harbor local and owner of the Gallery. The actual Gallery is in a fitting place - Right across from the Village Green Park in town and next to two craft looking souvenir shops. The gallery is open from Mid May through October but if owning any pieces is of interest, they can be ordered via the D'Alessio Gallery website. If you're in Bar Harbor, amongst all the other touristy things going on you can walk right into the Gallery and take a look around and even chat with him if you wish. If you're an art collector or want to buy a piece on the whim you certainly can here, but that tags run in the quadruple digits. So unless you got Warren Buffett levels of cash, be ready for that.
