Frame of Reference (downtown Whitefish) operates with professionalism and a very open friendliness!…read moreDerek and Elizabeth (and staff) are sure to educate on the recent artists as well as the old guard artists if you ask. You will not find a pushy environment, but an open welcome to view, browse, ask questions, learn and buy if your heart desires. This year I purchased a great piece from them. I visit galleries all over the West and I can say that this is one of the very finest and you will find a wide range of truly talented artists and a great environment. Every year we travel to Whitefish to check out their gallery and I am never displeased. Like this year, we have gone back twice in one week. Just love it. Love Derek, Elizabeth, and staff. So the message is VISIT - you WILL NOT be disappointed! Alan & Elizabeth

LOVE this art gallery, and maybe it's because my wife and I decided to buy our first "real" piece…read moreof art here. You'll find a bit of everything here from sculptures to very Montana art, landscapes both modern and a bit more traditional, but they also had some really cool modern art here as well, oddly enough featuring an artist from Mill Valley, CA while we were there. Anyway, we really fell in love with the art from Matt Flint - and ultimately that's what we purchased. Nate Colson and Jennifer Li two other artists we liked as well. Their website is up to date and a great resource to view the collection. Here's why else we loved this gallery: - Not pretentious at all, the staff is so welcoming and warm. - Kid friendly, of course don't let your kids run wild, but they were so cool about us with the kids in tow who are 6 and 4 and could kind of care less about what painting we picked - Shout out to Jessica and Yui who helped us decide, gave us the night to think about it and followed up when they said they would, along with explaining in detail the shipping options - Also shout out, giving us a small discount to offset the shipping costs, that was so kind of them and will keep us coming back - Old doggie who is so friendly, kids loved him - Great selection and a price range that should fit most budgets -- look if you're walking into a real art gallery, dont' expect to find $40 prints but they had plenty of pieces that were approachable Highly recommend making a stop at Underscore!

We got brunch in Whitefish before I said goodbye to my friends who all had earlier flights. Then I had 10 hours to kill and ended up having the best solo day starting w pottery painting here. Jessica was super kind and even offered to let me keep my suitcase and backpack at the studio so I could explore town without having to lug my stuff around. Stumptown shipped my pumpkin to me in Seattle and I received it 2.5 weeks later (they quoted 3 weeks so I got it earlier). They carefully packaged it up in many layers to ensure that it would travel safely! I am so happy with how it turned out and highly recommend checking them out when you're in Whitefish!
