For the most part, I've worked with Cara, who knows a great deal about the artists the gallery showcases. With her good council and layaway, I've been able to develop a small collection of very collectible items. It gives me joy to wear jewelry that has deep roots in our culture and is made by renowned artists. I wear one or other of my pieces every day!

I'm a budget-constrained collector of Native American carvings and art, so at first glance, this…read moregallery was a little intimidating. But Evan, one of the staffers, was welcoming even after I told him about my modest collection. It was a quiet day, so he was able to show me how to discern better quality pieces that I could aspire to and took the time to answer questions about pieces and artists I was curious about. This is a well-established (opened in 1974) shop with a national reputation -- but without an attitude. I bought a beautiful pair of earrings for my wife and a highly detailed, but modestly priced, carving ("fetish") for a shamanic client. If you're a serious collector, you probably already know about this gallery. But if you're a beginner, or simply want to buy a unique one-of-a-kind gift, you'll still be happy here.

We were in the area and stopped by the store. We didn't know they were asking customers to make appointments at the time, but luckily they were able to squeeze us in. After discussing our options, we ended up getting the canvas stretched. We left our painting with them and it took a few weeks before we could pick it up. They even provided some hardware for hanging it up. We loved the service we received and highly recommend!

Small and humble but fun photographic gallery in Pittsburgh's up-and-coming arty neighborhood of…read moreGarfield. An absolute hidden gem if you are looking for something less well-known than Pittsburgh's famous "big" galleries and museums. Regular exhibits of black-and-white photographs are displayed on the wall with accompanying text explaining the thought process and motivations of each artist. The photographic art displayed here is often socially conscious and utilized to make points about gender, class, and culture. While those points are made with varying degrees of success, the photographs themselves are always quite intriguing. In addition to the gallery, there is also a reading room. Several of the photography books are for sale, but it can also be used as a library space. If you want to learn about classic photographers and their art, there are more than enough books to give yourself a thorough education as an autodidact. I have only one caveat about this place that should be taken into account. I want to point out that if you are going here with younger family members, discretion and close supervision should be STRONGLY advised. There are certain visuals you may want to steer away from. The content occasionally goes well beyond PG-13 territory and occasionally into R-rated or NC-17 photography. The gallery portion for example is not unfriendly to nude photographs, and the reading room contains NSFW and explicit titles such as Nan Goldin's Ballad of Sexual Dependency (among others in a similar vein). With that caveat aside, however, Silver Eye Center Photography is one of Pittsburgh's hidden treasures and is very worth your time.
