Yet, like with most co-ops (and from what I was told) the variety usually changes monthly here, which I guess is sometimes bittersweet. I wouldn't consider myself an art critic but the majority of art found here would either be considered crafts and wall or "sofa art." Not a lot of modern, contemporary or global influences. There was some nice ornamental pottery pieces displayed by the front door (sorry, forgot to note the artist) but mostly utilitarian-mugs, vases, bowls. Met and talked with a Virginia Killian, a founding member and instructor. She showed us around and talked a little about her own history while showing some of her displayed pieces. She explained there wasn't many more galleries in the area, which was disappointing-mostly antique shops. They do have a medium-sized studio in the back which we were allowed to explore. Here is where they teach everything from basic drawing, to stained glass to oil painting. Check their site for prices and schedules. Art is relative. Everyone's style is different and it never hurts to explore such a gallery for you never know what you're going to find. If I return to Marietta I'll pop back in to see what's on display.

And we always find a treasure to take home. Riverview Antiques is a spacious shop nestled among a line of similarly charming shops near the Ohio and Muskingum rivers in downtown Marietta. My wife and I love to start our river crawl at Riverview Antiques by the Ohio River, and gradually, shop by shop, make our way down Front Street until we can rest our feet and sink our teeth into homemade fudge at Favorite Things. Riverview is operated by knowledgeable gentlemen who really know (A) where to find cool antiques, and (B) how to present them in a store so that you feel like you're in a time machine and walking around someone's living room 100 years ago. And the prices are pretty good, too. Don't leave Marietta without checking them out.

Our fifth & final stop today was the Marietta Antique Mall in downtown Marietta Ohio. Free parking, dim lighting and very musty smelling.

The Beer Barn is located right near my college campus...in between the campus and popular restaurants "downtown" (the metropolis of 15,000 people) so I frequently stopped by to purchase some love for the night.

It does sell clothing, hats and jewelry, most with that bohemian and funky vibe, but most of it's found in the back. I was surprised with how much folk decor and country craft replications they had. I was originally expecting something closer to a head shop than a Hallmark. I heard from some locals they have classes and events at the shop and around town, including crochet, Fairy Picnics for kids (this involves wings, apparently), Henna and Hoola-Hop workshops. All pretty funky and all sound very fun. As they also say they're "the hippest shop around" but we're talking Marietta, remember, soooo... Just kidding. What this shop does in the community is great and I hope they continue. Definitely go in and check them out for there's so much variety you might just find something for you or a gift. S.W.A.G.G.
