We stopped in on a Wednesday late afternoon just to browse. This is the type of artsy store that we…read morelike but we weren't looking for anything particular. There were plenty of paintings, wood pieces, sculptures, glass objects, and more. They even had cheaper options like postcards if you just want a little item. All of the work seems to be from local artists, so that is always a plus with us. We'd stop in again the next time we're in town.

Great art shop on the main trafficed street in Hillsborough. We stopped by the Hillsborough Arts…read moreCouncil after a bite to eat at the new Bona Fide Sandwich Co. This gallery is run by locals and supplied by locals. It's not as fancy or jazzed up as some of their competitors, but feels a lot more local and old-townie. You'll find almost everything here: from jewelry to cutting boards, quilts to pottery, and of course a plethora of paintings and photography. You'll be greeted when you enter and might even be asked where you're from. The Hillsborough Arts Council reminds me of a friendly gift shop for the town of Hillsborough. Shouldn't be missed if you're looking for some local hospitality and to support a huge array of local artists.

I have been here twice and while I enjoyed looking at the different items I felt completely…read moreunwelcome by the staff. The first time I went in I was with a couple of other people and it took more than a few minutes for the staff to say hello to us. The second time I went was on the Hillsborough Ladies Night. I am fairly new to the area and went to the event by myself. The shop was empty when I entered and the staff did not even acknowledge me, despite me looking directly at some of them and smiling. This is a small shop. There is no way to miss when someone comes inside. I will not go here again. The items are very interesting, though priced higher you would expect, but the lack of service and friendliness made me very uncomfortable.

MY UNBIASED OPINION -…read more This place was great. I love galleries that feature local artist. Everyone was nice. They had a few refreshments. The spirits were a low cost. They have events often. You can also rent this space out for events. This would be an awesome place to come. It's a cute date night as well. Walk about the city and stop in for a nice art experience. (Don't forget about the small upstairs gallery) Parking is on the street or in a nearby parking deck.

Note: this place is now called 5 Points Gallery. We've been visiting here ever since they opened…read moreand have even gotten to know some of the artists and have purchased several pieces in various sizes and price points. It's not a large space by any means (especially during the pandemic) but they feature all local art from paintings to multimedia, fused glass, and sculptures. When Durham used to have (and will have again one day) the Third Friday Art Walks, this was one of our regular stops. The art is mostly modern and lively. Tip: see if the upstairs gallery is open as well.

Truth be told, we knew it was going to be difficult, but we were really rooting for them to do a great job as this was an important piece of art for us. Margaret called often to keep me posted, and to ask our preferences, and this level of customer service was greatly appreciated! When the piece was completed, they helped us load it into our vehicle, which proved a little tricky. These guys really came through for us, and I cannot say enough good things about them - if we require any additional framing, Yesterday and Today will be the number one spot on our list!

Sherry does an excellent job at this frame shop. She worked with me to put together something that…read moreI would like, but didn't try to push anything on me. There was no deposit required, which I found trusting, and every job has a 100% guarantee of satisfaction - as the design process was back-and-forth, I guess she has a pretty good idea of what will look good. She did an excellent job with both prints I had framed (the frame even included the mounting bracket!) The price was a little higher than I had expected, but it's been a while since I had anything framed and am unaware of what average prices are. Besides, the quality of the workmanship and the satisfaction guarantee make up for any perceived differences.

I couldn't be happier with the job the Frame & Print Shop did for me! The staff were genuinely…read moreinterested in my project and are clearly experts at their craft. I brought in three prints, each in a different color palette, that I wanted coordinated to hang in my kitchen. Ash was a great listener and spent a lot of time matching just the right matte color to the content and finding a frame that brought them together and made them look like they belonged in that particular room. I love how they look!

Once the decisions are made, they do a wonderful, professional job of framing. And they work with a restorer, Laura Riley, who is beyond amazing.
