My wife and I stopped in on our first day and were warmly greeted by Ivy, one of the employees, who was EXTREMELY knowledgable about local PR artists, and showed us some amazing pieces. They also have very nice silver and locally produced jewelry pieces. We returned on our second day and had the pleasure of meeting the owner, and decided on purchasing two pieces by a more renowned Puerto Rican artist, and received an amazing price. My wife then saw a third piece that she loved, and we received a package price that was too good to refuse! Price included shipping, and we were treated with great kindness. The second day was when the island wide power outage was occurring, and they were still able to conduct business using cellular devices. Yesterday afternoon we received a call from Ivy to verify our home address, and THIS afternoon, all three paintings arrived (including the oversized framed 30"x40" oil) via USPS PRIORITY EXPRESS! Now, THAT is truly amazing customer service! We would have been happy with regular shipping! Galeria Exodo is TRULY a GREAT place to see locally produced Puerto Rican art, and obtain wonderful pieces for your own home. Would recommend them to ALL who visit Old town San Juan!

They have all kinds of pieces from historical, still life, traditional daily life to abstract. We loved their pieces and the prices are reasonable.

You can get something super affordable as a keepsake as well as original works of art.

Located right next door to Galeria Exodo, Age Art Gallery even has an open door adjoining it, but…read morethe art work is rather different. The selections at Art Age Gallery are generally smaller in size but like Exodo real artisanal pieces, each unique, offered at what I would consider totally reasonable and affordable prices. Most of them are done by local artists and if you're lucky you may even have the opportunity to meet with the artists. What I really like about Age is that it has such a diversity of art. There is mix media, ceramics, paintings, jewelry and so much more. It's a real gem find of an art gallery.

One was a tryptic of large ceramic pieces that was amazing - was sad it had already been purchased but probably was a good thing that I wasn't tempted by it! My daughter fell in love with one of the interesting painted key boxes they had which makes a much better souvenir, than a Señor Frog t-shirt and well worth the extra cost. Definitely worth the stop and was glad to stumble upon Age.

Caribbean Stone Art opened in January 2015 so we were lucky to visit during the first few weeks of operation. They sell beautiful, stone-carved artwork. Most of the sculptures are related to sea life: turtles, starfish, mermaids, sea horses, etc. They range in size from hand-held to the size of a mid to small dog. Prices obviously vary as well. You may be able to negotiate. We had a chance to meet the artists and learned about the processes. All pieces start as a hunk of stone. Hours of craftsmanship and work go into each piece. My description does this artwork no justice. Go check them out yourself!
