The Gumbo Gallery is a nice little art gallery on De Villiers, sandwiched between Blue Dot hamburgers and Five Sisters Blues Cafe. The owner, Sonja, is an incredibly nice lady who is extremely talented and knowledgeable.
Several media are offered, from painting, pottery, prints, jewelry, and more. While the subject matter of most of the painting/prints is African-American-centric, there are others themes on display, such as beachy kind of stuff, historical Pensacola scenes, western, and Native American genres.
Sonja let me put a painting on lay-away and kindly called me to remind me about it after a month. When I went to pay off the art, I saw many new (and appealing!) paintings that wowed me. There seems to be quite a turn-over of stock, which makes it exciting to return.
Plus...Blue Dot is right next door! Go look at and buy some art, then go grub the best burger in town. It's a two-fer! read more
