They represent more than 260 artists from all over the Alleghany Highlands area (Southwest Virginia and parts of West Virginia). The friendly, volunteer staff were helpful and excited to share information about the handmade treasures found here. I was surprised by the variety of artwork and I want to highlight a few types that I loved: painting (realism, abstract, impressionistic, expressionistic, etc.) wood working (turned wood, live edge, sculpture, table ware, and decorative), jewelry making (custom designs in both traditional and modern versions), crafting (quilts, basket weaving, sewing, etc.), and photography (black and white, artistic, realistic styles and subjects such as nature, landscapes and local sites such as the Washington and Lee campus). Also, for the first time, I saw fly fishing lures displayed along with other crafts. Perfect, and well-deserved! I found this store after glimpsing the main sign on route 64. After you get off the exit (24 I believe), just follow signs into old town (historic) Clifton Forge and continue to Ridgeway Street. Note: this non-profit center appears to be located in a former retail space, so it is not a stand alone building, it is located in a row of shops (near Cafe Museo). Look for the Cafe Museo sign which is easy to spot. There is plenty of street parking. This place is a real treat and I wish I had more time to take one of their classes, add the walking tour of old town, and stop at one of the lunch spots nearby. I visited after a morning hike at Douthat State Park, but this shop is also easily accessible to visitors from the George Washington and Jefferson National Forest, Goshen, Warm Springs, Lexington, Covington, or anyone passing through to Beckley or the the New River Gorge National Park or Gauley River National Recreation Area. Before the next holiday or family celebration, consider a thoughtful, handmade gift from this unique shop and support local artists in the area.

I went into this gallery one afternoon while on a recent visit to Roanoke…read more Wow, was this stuff cool. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the metal work furniture and sculptures by John Wilson. He finds various signage and other really cool scraps from the side of the road and turns them into really cool wall pieces and functional furniture! He's even got a coffee table made from the tail gate of a ford pickup truck. He told me he could *make* me one too if I wanted. The work from Suzun Hughes was really great too. She's got a knack of mixing computer generated images and color that just does it for me. And I love the combo of colors in her paintings. What really gives this gallery 5 stars though, is that the owners are the artists, and they're so good at telling you about the other goings on around town in the art scene. Best bet is to stop here on your way into town if you've come to Roanoke to take a peak at the art scene. Just ask, and Suzun or John will give you an insider's view of what to do next in the 'Noke.

They took advantage of my 16 year old son who has Autism Spectrum Disorder, upsold him a $342 wedding band when all he we wanted was a Christmas ring for his girlfriend. He was told the wedding band could be used for anything, it didn't have to be a wedding band. When we tried to return the ring, the owner told us "he couldn't help the retard didn't know what he was getting" and refused to take the ring back unless we were exchanging it or getting store credit. This was the same day and the ring hadn't even been unwrapped. The store could have resold the ring without a loss. This was unreasonable and very unprofessional to use this type of language.
