I found The Prairiebrooke to be well designed to house art in its open, airy natural setting with an interesting metallic-y silver and bronze floor and recessed lighting. I think the venue actually made some of the art look more appealing to me. The guy working the room asked me if I needed anything, which I did not. I told him I was just in there to look. He told me to grab some complimentary cookies before heading back to work on framing. PG not only sells the work of artists, but they also specialize in custom framing and design display. I peaked into their workshop where they do the framing and it's more like a garage. They do some serious work back there; I think I even saw a flicker from a blowtorch. My thinking is, if a gallery spends that much of its space working to make your purchased painting framed so well, it's a two in one masterpiece. You don't have to buy a painting at location A and then drag it to location B for framing - it's just handy. I'm not sure about the presentation of the art in the back. I found a really cool Picasso-like painting shabbily hung in the coffee break room next to the fridge - huh? It was strange. Why did they need six offices anyways - it just took away the space needed in the main gallery room so that they were forced to hang paintings in poor places - like the break room where few customers wander anyways. If I were the artist, that would be unacceptable marketing on their part - I mean honestly, who would do that? I liked the main gallery though. The brick walls were fitting to the scheme of the design and the leather seating area was a nice touch. I really like how the guy trusted me enough to be alone in his space. Keep in mind, I had spent the last two hours being followed around by skeptical older women who thought I was trying to steal - so it was a relief to be able to relax in here without feeling like someone was breathing down your neck. And it was with the freedom that I broke the cardinal rule of gallery attendance: I took photos - gasp!

Contemporary Art in middle of suburbia Kansas. Hey, it works! In all seriousness, PB Galleries is…read morean alright spot to see some great pieces by national artists. Now here's where it gets dicey. I'm at odds about the feelings I got from the place though. Pretty awkward and certainly had a tinge of "frame shop" as another reviewer so cleverly pointed out. I never felt I was in a gallery really. It was more like a place that housed art for framing. Here I was getting a "sales pitch" on the place having great, national artists without ever talking about any of the artists or maybe even the work itself. The owner of the gallery came over and we chatted. The "forced and faked" convo ensued and I was left with the heebie-jeebies. I enjoyed some of the art in the shop, just not the shop. What to do? Why look those artists up online perhaps for a purchase, of course. God Bless cyberspace, ebay, and the "shopping cart" checkout system.

I've driven by many times but never noticed it before which is a shame, because there is some wonderful art on display. Currently there is a juried show with scores of pieces from every media. Truly something for everyone from landscapes and photography to more contemporary and profound. I was able to pick up a couple of card size watercolors for framing and a large magnet to brighten my office and refrigerator from my artist friend James Masters and a small card size photo from artist Marla Craven. Images Art Gallery will always be a quick pitstop for me whenever visiting downtown Overland Park in the future. Another easy way to support local artists and add some beauty to your day.

I'm sure my mom has become a regular, and I will come back on my next trip to KC. This store is everything I could/would want in a retail store. Everything in it is handmade art, and beyond that, it's actually all GOOD! The curation is incredible, and Melanie really has an eye for talent around the U.S. that she brings here. And better yet, she has a vision and dream beyond just being a retailer selling stuff. In addition to bringing things of beauty here handcrafted by mostly women, she gives back to the community and really thinks about personal economics for everyone. I encourage you to visit her website for more information. They day we came in we showed restraint and left with only two pairs of earrings and one handbag. Everything in here--jewelry, scarves, purses, clocks, small art, and more--is of good quality and interesting. Not everything is for everyone, just like anywhere, but I was shocked and amazed at how much here I truly loved. Even items I didn't love I could appreciate for their artistry. I wish this store/Melanie the utmost success and many happy years, and I look forward to my next visit.
