The title of this Yelp listing is a little deceiving. Yes, there is a gift shop here. But Wheeling…read moreArtisan Center is also a venue with a little gallery upstairs and a restaurant downstairs. The gift shop is great. There are lots of Wheeling- and West Virginia-related items to purchase. I was looking for some kind of Mothman something-or-other, and I found a few cool cryptid knickknacks. I've said it before and I'll say it again: West Virginians love their cryptids and myths, and I love it. The gift shop also had lots of clothing, soaps, durable edible goods, art and other things. There's a restaurant inside the Wheeling Artisan Center, but it looked closed when we visited. Upstairs, there's a gallery with historic Wheeling items on display. You can learn about things that were made or originated in Wheeling, like Bayer aspirin, Mail Pouch Tobacco signs, and even a type of cigar. It's fun to peruse while you're in the area, and it's also free to visit.

Randyland is a local treasure and is super unique. It should be on every traveler's bucket list…read morewhen visiting Pittsburgh. Randy is a very nice man and it's wonderful the gift he has given Pittsburgh. His art is very eclectic and lots of fun. It's so much fun to walk around exploring all the things he has. I also love how colorful the building and all his things are. It really brightens up the neighborhood. He has a colorful and positive personality so it's a great representation of him. I also love all the murals on everything. It's fun to see the collections of different items he has and the painted steps. It's fun to take pictures with family and friends. Check out this Pittsburgh institution.

So instead of spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars to go to Disneyland, you can go to Randyland for 0. I purchased a Randyland shirt because I wanted to bring a piece of Randyland home with me. They also had a very clean and prestige Porta potty. I highly recommend coming here! -Gustavo

Every corner of the gallery is filled with delightful art that will make you think and feel and laugh. I could have spent HOURS in here. As a bonus, there were free misprints with a donation jar to give back to the community. Just an absolutely wonderful and magical place.

The metalwork art here is some of my favorite, like ever. It literally makes me think I need to…read moremove into my own house just so I have the opportunity to buy and display it. The artist, one of them at least, was here when we visited. He was a nice guy and made me feel even better about buying stuff I already wanted. The stand out things though are the buttons. If you go, you'll definitely see the buttons. I've purchased some every time I've been to Thomas, for me and for others. Some are simply cute, but others are quite clever or something a literary person would adore. Think plays on famous book titles ("Still Life with Life"), misattributed philosophical quotes ("The unexamined life is not worth living" - Plato), and general statement buttons (I *heart* polar bears). Definitely recommend going here, especially if you're in town for a show at The Purple Fiddle.

Lawrenceville is so hip these days!…read more I stopped in here with my mom and marveled at all of the neat 3-D art on display. Then I ran across a gorgeous mosaic by Rachel Sagers and snatched it right up! The woman who helped me with my purchase was friendly and made sure that my art was carefully wrapped and ready for transit. The feel in the gallery is spacious and welcoming, and the art was so unlike other things I've seen. Some items are pretty pricey but it's great to browse. I would come here again for sure.

The Borelli Edwards art gallery is an absolute must visit if you find yourself near Lawrenceville…read more Rotating exhibits will always be able to peak your interest regardless of personal taste or preference. These exhibits will rotate from local up and comers to established artists for many years. Beyond the gallery this is a phenomenal place for all of your framing needs. As my wife and I travel to various destinations local art is our souvenir of choice with our walls in our house telling a story of our adventures. Joy does an incredible job understanding our style and willingly accepting any challenge we throw at her. We have now had close to 20 pieces framed with little direction other than big picture vision. She has never failed to delight us!! Lastly, Joy the owner is reason enough to visit. She is a wonderful and welcoming host that could gladly have you extend your planned 10 minute visit to over an hour. The conversation and friendliness are always a highlight. Why are you still reading my review? Go visit Joy!!
