It's similarly sized to other college town artist co-ops that I've encountered, but their inventory has some of the best variety of mixed media I've seen, at an appreciably high standard. Jewelry/accessories, apparel, pottery/glassware, wood carvings, prints/paintings, wreaths, and more home decor of all materials and dimensions. We found the perfect souvenirs to commemorate a group hike we did during our trip, after discussing the merits amongst ourselves between three artists who depicted the same trail in their own approaches: linograph vs photograph vs watercolor. We also purchased some crocheted plushies and a magnet, and my better half talked me out of a piece of enhanced folded book art. To respect the no photography policy of many of the artists, I'll just note that the website's artist portfolio just represents a drop in the bucket of what you'll find. We'll definitely stop in again for more unique wares whenever we pass through the area.

I've been to quite a few university art galleries, and while I have no partiality to Cornell, this…read morewas an impressive one. The building itself is brutalist and didn't inspire a ton of confidence in what lies inside. I was also not thrilled at the limited parking; I found a university visitor center just up the road had parking. And the structure is rather odd in that there is a tower, but also an adjacent annex building that doesn't have much in it, but which you can (and I did) enter through, to a belowground space. The main tower houses a couple of floors of exhibitions, then a couple of floors of offices that aren't open to the public, then a higher level with exhibitions and views of the campus. The top level is apparently an event space that is not normally open for visitation. It is an interesting arrangement. The results were aesthetically impressive. The collection spanned global history, but my visit was also greeted by a photography series of a road trip spanning the East Coast. This resonated for me as a frequent traveler up and down this part of the country, and while my Yelp reviews and accompanying pictures probably don't have the artistic merit to find themselves in this museum, I saw plenty in common with my experiences. There was plenty else to ponder, however, and even on a rainy day, there was enough visibility to make ascending to the top floor well worth it. There is no charge to enter and you don't have to have any university affiliation either, which is true for most, but not all university galleries. This one is well worth the stop.
