Unlike most galleries that have art displayed, this gallery had hundreds if not close to a thousand canvases of art work in piles. Harry and Wanda Erb obtain these canvases from local artists all over the world. And because these are all canvas paintings there are no two alike. I really want to make a trip back here to pick up more art work. I purchased 3 paintings and Wanda was nice enough to have them mounted and shipped to me for a very cheap price. She actually mounted them for free since I purchased 3 paintings. One of those paintings is hanging in my family room. This by far has been my favorite gallery in Florida that I've been too and to date the only one I've ever been to where there were so many pieces of art available for sale.

We walked around for 2 hours looking at all the wonderful artists before settling on 2 from Phillip Anthony.

African masks from several countries; ebony, mahogany, teakwood statuary and other carvings; Kissi stone carvings from Kenya; beaten copper creations from Congo, large drums; hand-carved African furniture pieces...just SO much...and the owners are from the Congo and speak English, French, Swahili, and Lingali. A visit would be very culturally fulfilling and enlightening and you just might decide there is a piece you can't leave without. I love it.

Really cute store, great selection of reasonably priced artsy gifts (especially gifts for myself)…read more Person working also made some of the jewelry. She was the right amount of attentive without feeling awkward. (I was the only person in the store at that time. ) Unfortunately they were out of the smaller baskets (love them). But next time I'm in town will check back in. Their prices for them are quite reasonable. If you want a gift for someone made by local artists, that won't break the bank, definitely check this place out.

At the time of purchase, I also paid for shipping and provided the owner with my shipping information so that my items, along with another individual's purchase, could be shipped to my home. Unfortunately, several weeks have now passed and I have not received the items we purchased. In addition, I have not received any shipping confirmation or tracking information regarding the order. I have attempted to contact the business by calling the phone number listed, but I have not received a return call or any communication regarding the status of the shipment. The lack of response and follow-up has been very disappointing. As a business owner myself, I place a high value on professionalism, communication, and integrity when serving customers. Based on this experience, there appears to be a significant lapse in both customer service and business integrity. Customers should be able to trust that purchases will be fulfilled and that communication will occur if there are delays or issues. At this point, both the other purchaser and I are prepared to dispute the charges with our financial institutions and file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau if the matter is not resolved promptly. I sincerely hope this situation can be addressed and corrected soon. However, based on my current experience, I would encourage others to exercise caution when making purchases that require shipping.

As a history enthusiast, I decided to spend my birthday enriching myself with local history that has not been talked about. The trolley tour does have this museum on their list of stops so it's easy for the average tourist or local. I did drive and they have a small parking lot in the front that's easily accessible. The museum was a former school for African Americans from the 1900's until the segregation which was only 60 plus years ago. The museum ranges from the Transatlantic slave trade to the Civil Rights era. The exhibits are very telling and informative with pictures and donated pieces from different time periods. The staff member I connected with, Jean, was amazing to speak with. I'm so proud this gem is getting recognition and acknowledgement from the city. It was also great to see locals from the Lincolnville area stop in to look for past classmates or relatives from the archived photos. Also, I was surprised to see my family history connected to this museum as my childhood pastor Rev. Thomas A Wright staged one of the first sit ins in St Augustine. He formed "the Gainesville 3" who integrated the Gainesville High, which one of the three students was my Auntie Angel. This is why I love history - to see that meant so much to me because these stories are untold and we NEED this center and platform to continue to spread awareness about our rich heritage.
