A quick note, the neighborhood listing is wrong here. The gallery is actually in Dockport, which is…read morejust north-west of Sunset Park (across the BQE). Now that I've split neighborhood hairs, onto the review. We attended the Haitian disaster relief fundraiser earlier this year, and it's really wonderful. Walking up the stairs, I really expected to find myself in an industrial space with an industrial vibe, but it feels like a well curated gallery space. In addition to the pieces being sold for charity, the main gallery had some great work, hung very well. Im looking forward to heading back for another opening.

I came here for an American Psycho lunch since I am a big fan of both the novel and the film. Both…read morethe lunch and the venue were fantastic. I figured I would just go that once and never again, but I had such a good time that I will be looking for upcoming events at this venue. The venue itself is very small and intimate, better for small groups and events than large ones. The menu created by the literary supper club was fantastic and the food itself was something you'd expect from a high end restaurant. The location of Court Tree itself was nice, the atmosphere was great and the type of thing that I can only imagine existing in Brooklyn. I plan on coming back whenever there is an event that piques my interest.

If you've ever wondered if anyone reads all those flyers posted to street lights and traffic signal…read morepoles, I do. And you should too. Otherwise, I would have never learned about this place, despite the fact that's it's really close to where I live and I've unknowingly walked past it countless times. See, advertising works! I happened to see a flyer posted for a supper club dinner at Court Tree. Intrigued, I ended up attending and had a wonderful time. The supper club is literary themed, which warms this bookworm's heart. The space is small, pretty much a single floor in a brownstone, but just cozy enough for small events. They have a diverse lineup of food, art, music, and theatre events. I'm definitely planning to check out more events now that I've discovered this place.

Super cute store, but the woman working there was horrible. She refused to answer questions saying…read morethat we can look online. Then she got mad at my 9 year old daughter for asking a question about one of the pieces of origami. All this because we wanted to book a class and buy stuff. She said she has to answer the same questions every day as if that's our problem. If you hate people, don't work in retail.

I'm not the best at following instructions...also haven't done origami since I was a kid, but the iPads were super helpful and I found it incredibly easy to follow along. In an hour, I made a ton of cute things and the little sis found it both challenging and fun. On a Saturday at noon, we were almost the only ones there which was a plus. A fun way to spend a bit of time!

I recently stumbled on this gem on a day trip to Red Hook. The gallery is located in a restored…read morewarehouse right on the water. The artwork was exceptional and the owner was super friendly and knowledgeable. He knew a lot about the history of the areas that the work came from and it was fascinating to learn about the Inuit people and how they live.

Overall rating: 4.5…read more Have been wanting to check this place out for months & finally did over one of its Sundays. Admittedly, I also went to its drag wrestling match and strongly disliked it. So will likely not come back for any of its events. That said, as a studio itself - it's very informative and easy to digest. I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the founder's studio next door. A sight to be seen & will be bringing my tourists' friends back. Strongly recommend the studio.

Two things artists really can thrive with are having space and community and that's what Trestle Art Space is all about. The spaces are clean, well maintained and beautiful, and the community is friendly, supportive and encouraging. If you every have the chance to work with Trestle, be it with your own studio space or attending a class there I could not recommend it highly enough.

A FCUKING SCAM. I'd never cursed on a yelp review but my god... 500 dollars taken. I would say,…read morestolen. I had paid for classes early 2020. I would say 500 dollars is not a small amount for anyone. Classes were never delivered. The artists/instructors were never paid. Instead, the gallery kept all the money. I had tried multiple times over the course of a year, sent multiple emails only to receive bullshit emails leading me on. Claiming to offer refunds but just wasting my time and taking my money. They call themselves a supporter of the arts. But they don't support artists. They don't support people who want to support artists. In the middle of a fucking pandemic. Shame on you.

Went to the opening of Gallery Brooklyn last night. A great addition to Red Hook's new art scene…read more It's a top notch contemporary art gallery on the main drag of Van Brunt. This place serves up fresh art in a beautiful well lit gallery space. The artist in this show were young but had ample show credits. There were four artists represented for the current show. The work by John Elliott is worth a visit to see. Composed of 100 or so different sized paintings arranged in a mathematical array of sorts. The vibe on opening night was a great mix of locals and art lovers from out of the area.

Ambience: Whimsy/cool Products: Well curated selection of jewelry, clothing, cups/mugs, lingerie. Independent designers with sweet jewelry pieces. Not a single piece of jewelry runs over $100, I don't think. I've bought my favorite current jewelry pieces from Brooklyn Collective: delicate teardrop gold earrings, a ring with a black rose. I also bought my friend's bday gift from here (a necklace with a flat semiprecious stone) and needless to say she loved it. My final verdict: The styles are contempory, the clothing a bit mod, and the jewelry eclectic; every piece selected based on character and quality, never going too high on the price point as well. My only suggestion is I wish they had much more selection of their well curated clothing and jewely.
