Through out the United States, there is only a handful of registered Satanic Temples. And the…read moreSatanic Temple/ Art gallery in Salem Massachusetts does not disappoint. It was easy to make reservations for the visit, the temple is well managed, staffed, and maintained. They offered an excellent selection of swag and merchandise for the believers and haters alike. The art presentations were beautifully done and well presented. The merchandise was priced fair and was plentiful. If it's your thing.. make the visit, learn a thing or two and schedule your Marriage, Un-Baptism, or your divorce at this location!

My daughter and I made our first trip to Salem this weekend, and a visit to TST was at the top of…read moreour list of things to do. It did not disappoint. We spent several hours looking at the art on display, viewing the exhibits, and spending time in the library watching the documentary while flipping through books in their extensive collection. We both enjoyed the documentary, and it gave us both a greater appreciation for the important work TST does. If you've seen their online store, you know what to expect in the gift shop. I've ordered things online several times and always received my items promptly. The staff onsite was equally helpful in assisting my daughter select some jewelry that she loves. If you don't know what the temple stands for, I encourage you to stream the documentary "Hail Satan?" or read the FAQ on their website. TST is probably not at all what you think it is and the work they do is more important now than ever before.

Had no idea what to expect, and I'm kind of a weenie when it comes to scary stuff, but this place…read moreis really cool! Nothing jumps at you, so if you're apprehensive about that (like I was)... fear not. It's a gallery in every sense of the word; you're walking through a really gorgeous art exhibit of horror films, and there's plenty to see. Very very well done, wildly detailed, and really fun to see what's around each corner. Highly recommend, and I'd definitely go again!

Count Orlok's Nightmare Gallery was on my list of places to check out while visiting Salem last…read moreweek. It is located on Essex Street and they have you wait in line outside of the museum. Tickets are $15 for adults and $8 for kids (ages 6-12). You can either buy your tickets while waiting in line using a QR code or at the counter once you go inside. They do not allow photos or recording while walking through the gallery - the staff even states that they are watching on the surveillance cameras for anyone pulling out their phones. We enjoyed walking through each section and reading about each horror character and the fun facts about the movies or TV shows they were from. I really liked that the characters actually looked like the people and not some knock-off wax museum. Some of my favorites were the wall of actor face molds and the slasher room. I also like that you can walk through each room and area at your own pace and I never once felt rushed by the other people or staff. They have a small gift shop with t-shirts and other items you can buy. You are allowed to take photos inside of the gift shop. This is a must if you are a horror fan!

She needed an output for her creativity so I was searching everywhere for the right one. After talking with one of the moms from my daughter's school she recommended the Acorn Gallery, saying her son takes a class there and it was a great place. After just the first class I could already tell this was the place we've been looking for! There's a safe environment with caring teachers that lets the children express themselves. The children make oil paintings that I am thoroughly impressed with; they are well beyond what you would expect for that age group! The location is so convenient, its just in downtown Marblehead, a five minute drive away. The teachers as I said before are so caring and all of them, Debra, Jack, and Lexie, encourage the children's creativity and teach them so much. I would recommend the program for any child, teenager, and even adult. Acorn Gallery is truly a one-of-a-kind experience.

They are extremely knowledgeable and clear about the framing process and how best to show off your piece. This is not like dropping off your art at Michael's, to be delivered into the hands of a clueless 20 year-old who will have nothing to do with the framing once they ship it off. Mingo has exceeded my expectations on the pieces my husband and I have brought in, and done it at a fair price. Their creativity and skill made even a simple poster I've had since college look like it should be hanging in a much nicer house. : ) As mentioned, their gallery shows are top-notch and openings are always warm and fun. Great little spot for art in Beverly.

They are clearly passionate about what they do and it comes through in the excellent recommendations they make.

I am a photographer and have come to Katherine with a handful of unusual requests or even questions or ideas that I wasn't sure how to execute; she always take the time to talk about options, and guides me to the perfect solution. As a small business owner and artist myself I also appreciate the role they play in supporting local art through their gallery. It's a pleasure and honor doing business with them!
