Rude Salespeople. I…read moream shocked and appalled that the salesperson hung up on me. I represent a really well known designer in the NYC area. She is currently exhibiting in Paris with another designer they represent in their gallery. Although I understand a lot of retailers aren't interested in new talent right now, there was no reason for this person to hang up on me. If that is how they treat their artists I can only imagine how they treat their customers. I will never work with this gallery and strongly suggest to any artist displaying their work in Rogers Gallery to watch out!

Well, that was all we needed to head inside. The store is gorgeous with framed canvases, unframed canvases, and hundreds of frames everywhere. The store has a huge inventory, but it was super-neatly organized and felt uncluttered. We saw art styles of every description - landscapes, seascapes, abstracts, realistic and stylized human and animal portraits, a very deep variety of colors, artistic approaches and sizes. We had recently remodeled a bathroom and wanted a piece of artwork to hang there. We both agreed on a 12"x16" oil painting of a gray seascape with a lighthouse, beach/ocean scenery, moored boats and a full moon. The color themes perfectly complemented our wall color, and what's even better is that we could choose whatever frame we wanted. We went with a grayish/white distressed frame that reminded us of driftwood. Man -- it was perfect. The store will be closing soon because the owner is retiring, so there are some very sweet sales going on right now. For the oil painting and frame, we paid $84.53 and had the pleasure of working with Gallery manager Lisa Amado to transact the purchase. She packaged everything up so carefully and gave us such detailed hanging instructions, you'd have thought we just bought the Lost Ark of the Covenant!

It's a 1 story gallery and easy to walk through and navigate. They offer shipping for pieces which is cool. We came from out of town so this service would have been ideal especially if we wanted large items that would not fit into our bags. They also allow you to pick a frame for your art for the price you see on the piece (the frame is included with the price.) They had a sign that they are closing and the art was marked down.

They shut down many streets for random performances of bands or athletic street skaters. The galleries of New Bedford also open to the public as a forum to the people who crave the arts in such a unique city. AHA really brings out the fun side in so many people on the first Thursday of each month. There are so many spotlights on the unique vintage clothing stores, artistic displays, and performers. This is such a great thing to have in such an awesome place.

Such a fun spot right in the heart of downtown New Bedford! I have been a DIY paint venue fanatic…read morefor probably ten years. I booked a day with my niece for the Hocus Pocus painting as a way to spend time together. The venue is right near some fantastic restaurants and parking is easy to find. We arrived and got checked in. Some late comers caused a late start, but we didn't have any timeframe to abide by. The host of the paint day, Bridget, put on Hocus Pocus to have in the background while we painted! She was very organized and gave very clear instructions. We had a great time and I think this is one of my favorite painting venues. It is BYOB for those who are of age, and just remember that anything you bring in must be consumed by the end of the paint event. If you love painting events like I do, or you've never tried one before like my niece, I highly recommend Painting at Splash in New Bedford!

We were here for Aha night and got to decorate shells, however my kid had more fun with the hands on fishing equipment etc that he got to touch and try. I highly recommend this small slice of New Bedford's fishing history. Kids are free under 12 and you can easily spend 30-45 minutes truly looking and touching everything. So for the adult admission it's worth it.
