Absolute is a bit different from the other more trendy galleries popping up in Old Town. While the…read moreart work was beautiful, it seemed to be much more eclectic than the other art galleries and a bit more haphazardly placed... i.e. the store didn't seem to flow very well. However, that probably has to do with the wide variety of artists carried by Absolute. They seem to also feature custom framing, so if you're an artist or just a person with some art that needs a home, Absolute is a decent place to go. The owner was nice and said "hello" then commented briefly on the weather. Standout pieces of art included wooden framed maps of Michigan which were somewhat topographical, custom made clocks, and a beautiful hand crafted wooden rocking chair.

I've been shopping here for years... you can find a little of everything, from jewelry to prints to…read moreunique furniture to treasures of every kind! There is always something new and it's a great place to find the perfect gift for someone. Most recently I took 5 very special pieces of art, three of them signed and numbered, to be framed. Absolute Gallery was the perfect place-- they were very patient with me and my back-and-forths on matting and mounting and everything. They helped me and my companion navigate the many framing options until we were completely satisfied. Two weeks later the frames were done, and they are just beautiful. Exactly what I was hoping for. I'm also very happy to support local businesses [and a little window-shopping on my way out of the store didn't hurt, either!] I will definitely return in the future, for gift shopping as well as any more framing I have done. Very satisfied customer!

What a cool place to spend a couple of hours. On a whim we stopped to check out the the Sharp…read morefamily farm and view the art gallery they had on the property. The tour of the house was guided and it was just two of us and the guide. The guide had a wealth of knowledge and we appreciated what she had to say about the house and the Sharp family. One interesting and impressive fact, their well was inside the house. This way they didn't have to go out in Michigan winters to get their water. My daughter is a big fan of old homes especially Victorian style homes. While it's a Victorian style house it also had Italian influences in the structure. The art gallery had a World War I exhibit (100 year anniversary), sculptures and a quilt exhibit.

I absolutely love this place! I've been to their fund raiser and to a print class... and I just…read morecan't say enough great things about it. First, the people that work here genuinely love what they do... and it shows. They organize things PERFECTLY. It starts on time, is well-run, and the people that join in on these events are also just amazing. What a fun experience from start to finish. The parking nearby is a little rough on the weekends, obviously... but otherwise, this place is the best! Do a class, do an event... you won't be disappointed!

It was a great experience to do this together. Two hour time was perfect. Good instruction and great supplies. I love the colors and getting creative though this is not my wheelhouse, it was still a lot of fun. Classes are very affordable. The instruction was great and gave me some ideas to play with layering. I had a little problem with using a gift card but they were great in the office to get us signed up and squared away. We'll definitely be back!
