This past time they had both screen printed collages and wonderful Acrylic paintings by artist featured in other places like the Smithsonian. So it's high quality stuff. The one bummer thing about this gallery is sometimes it's in shambles for instance this last time I had to make a joke about this plastic that was just sitting on the floor in the main gallery.. I was like is that a New Contemporary sculpture or did somebody just forget to take out the garbage! Either way the staff is super nice and the pieces speak for themselves!

Thankfully, there are collectors of these lamps, and Dennis knows them. I was a bit (ok a lot!) ambivalent about sending the lamp to someone I've never met, and is based out of state. Quick Google search on him - he is THE man when it comes to Tiffany lamps, is a chief contributor in "Antiquing for Dummies". Dennis is the consummate professional, walked us through packaging and mailing the lamp. Many many thanks, Dennis, for brokering our lamp!

I also found prices to be reasonable and affordable. The owner, Mark, is a delight, and the artists are quite personable.

There is a parking lot right outside the door and a ramp to support accessibility. They make good use of the space they have, displaying pieces at every turn without making you feel like you are going to bump into something. I recommend checking it out if you haven't yet.
