They're outside of my price range though. Although looking up some of his other works, they are very reasonable prices! It depends on what people are willing to pay for art. There are prints and sketches available as well. There's also some custom pottery by a local artist who lives on one of the islands. Her name escapes me as of this writing. That's what I like about these little known artists and stops, you're not going to find them on the internet. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this gallery again: but if you like maritime-themed paintings, or happen to be a fan of John Stobart, then this may be something that you're interested in.

Perfect way to spend an afternoon…read more UPDATED - I've now been to two of the North Shore Arts Association summer Auctions, and each time have walked away with paintings that I love. First off - If you've never been to an auction - they're awesome! The first time I went, was actually my first auction ever. And as a result, I was a little over-zealous and bought 2 of the first 6 paintings that came up. Luckily they were smaller, and very reasonably priced (I purchased one for $150 and the other for $250, both framed), so I didn't do too much damage, but I sat on my paddle for the rest of the day. This past summer, my wife and I were married, and as a wedding present to ourselves, we were looking for something a little bigger with some personal meaning. After some intense bidding, we ended up purchasing a large Nathalie Nordstrand watercolor of Pebble Beach - a place where we've spent a number of summer days. It is now hanging in our living room, and is a great reminder of our summers in Gloucester as well as the auction action at NSAA. If you are at all interested in the idea of owning original New England artwork, the summer auction at NSAA is a great and very exciting way to do it. Not to mention that the entry fee also includes an open wine bar and generous appetizers - it's really enough of a reason in itself to take a drive up the cost and spend the day in a beautiful location.

Driving to NSAA is a treat in itself. The view of Gloucester harbor from the parking lot of the…read moreassociation is breathtaking. This is an organization that displays the work of its membership in a gallery with rotating exhibits. There are two levels - so a surprisingly large collection of work can be displayed at once. Most of the work is representational oil painting of landscapes, still lifes, and a few portraits - although there are a few watercolors, charcoals and abstract pieces on display at the moment. The staff of the association are friendly and helpful. Insider tip: ask to have a ballot so you can vote on your favorite piece of work. It's a very democratic and yelp-like way of recognizing an artist! There is some world-class artwork on display and admission is free. Well worth a trip! They're open May through October, seven days a week. This would be a great excursion for a weekend date: combination art association, fried seafood on the water, and the proverbial long walk on the beach ;)

They are extremely knowledgeable and clear about the framing process and how best to show off your piece. This is not like dropping off your art at Michael's, to be delivered into the hands of a clueless 20 year-old who will have nothing to do with the framing once they ship it off. Mingo has exceeded my expectations on the pieces my husband and I have brought in, and done it at a fair price. Their creativity and skill made even a simple poster I've had since college look like it should be hanging in a much nicer house. : ) As mentioned, their gallery shows are top-notch and openings are always warm and fun. Great little spot for art in Beverly.

The person working there (felting while she worked) was also really nice and knowledgeable. The restaurant half left something to be desired. It was hard to even find the people working there (the art person had to help). They said they didn't have everything on the menu but they were able to make a cheese board. The person who brought it didn't tell us anything about the cheeses or meats but they were all delicious. We asked for Cokes. (The person didn't ask about drinks but someone else finally thought to). The drinks definitely weren't Coke and the carbonation/syrup ratio was way off. This place could be amazing if the restaurant was even half as good as the art.
