With an always rotating cast of artists on display there always seems to be something new to catch my eye. How do they always have just that thing I need but made in such a way that is much more beautiful than I could ever imagine. Always Great vibes at The Kube.

The owner/manager didn't seem to care. It was weird and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Everything was overpriced. 15$ for a bar of soap smh

What a fun gallery!…read more It's All original art and all local artists to the greater Vancouver area. They have stuff I can actually afford on my student budget of craft dinner and mr. Noodles. Lol They do all types of events too. They have Painting parties for adults and a Zombie walk and hunted gallery on oct 19th 2013 for Halloween. The coolest thing is they Change over all the artists in the whole gallery every two weeks to keep it fresh with more of a show Atmosphere. They also help youth artists in the community. Really cool young couple that run it too. So jazzed about what they do and speak so highly of the artists in the gallery. I'll be returning all the time to see the new shows!

Such a delightful store selling mostly local products…read more The variety of items here is quite big. From the usual touristy tee-shirts to the carefully curated items of candles, chocolates, nuts, soaps and jewelry made by the locals living in the Sunshine Coast. This is definitely one of the shops I will stop by to get little gifts for friends and family. The Christopher Norman chocolate is really good. I also love the candles here. Parking is available on the street.

I only had a limited amount of time in the area and wanted to find a boutique with locally made artisan pieces from and was lucky to find this one in one of the travel guides at my hotel. I picked up a few different items, a small bird made from re-purposed metal, a lovely necklace, a stylish cell phone holder, and some special sea salt. So much fun. I'll be back for sure the next time I'm in the area!

Wow, what a wonderful experience dealing with the extremely helpful staff at the Salish Sea Market…read more I had been in the store on a previous trip to the Island (what a treasure trove of unique gifts and art) and a relative fell in love with a piece but could not buy it at the time. I emailed the staff and they emailed me back with pictures and information about shipping, and made the process of buying an item without being in the store so absolutely painless and easy. I cannot thank them enough for helping me out. I really recommend having a look at their website www.salishseamarket.com/ or visiting in person when in the area. Special kudos to Vivian and Sarah

I am crazy confused. How does this place not get written about by every visitor to Orcas??…read more You've seen the driveway entrance to their place from the main highway. Giant, shiny, reflective, metal spinning imploding-then-exploding undulating spikey flower-like moving sculptures. That may be a clunky way of describing it, but I bet you know what I'm talking about now. Going up [their] long driveway, I felt like I was going to somebody's house for a visit. Yowza, I wish I lived here! Nestled at the end of the road, lies a small house, a small studio for the more delicate sculptures and a large "yard" interspersed with moving metal. I didn't take pictures of the studio's sculptures, and frankly, my iPhone photos really don't capture how magnificent the outside moving sculptures are. These larger pieces adorning the meadow, powered by wind and continued momentum are astounding. Some are free-standing, some attached to trees. All are fascinating to watch--I was nearly hypnotized by some of the more complicated ones. Shiny, shiny. If I had $2K - $10K to spend on these, I totally would. They are stunning. Everybody should have one in their yard. You will love it and tell all your friends about this place after seeing it for yourself! Just gorgeous.

Saturday 1700 The…read morePlaza Galleries was relatively quiet at this hour and we were able to enjoy the art pieces unmolested by other patrons. I was in love with almost every piece and unfazed by the prices. The store owner Barak and the other European lady were fantastic at giving us our space and then at explaining the art process and the history behind the pieces we were interested in. I was superbly interested in a bear piece by Miri, who happened to be Barak's sister, and Barak described her painting process and the curators even brought the piece over to another room so we can observe how the painting changed when the lights were dimmed. When we left we were told two other couples had expressed interest in the bear piece, then when we came back from dinner another couple were just leaving to dinner to talk over which two of three pieces (one being the bear piece) they were going to procure. The 48" by 48" piece shipped to the US cost $350 Canadian and is insured and fitted into a custom crate, to arrive in a week. Overall a happy, happy customer!

I love the dramatic 3 dimensional paintings. I browse this gallery every time I come to Whistler.read more
