Bismarck Studios is in an attractively tucked away location. I visited a few weekends ago and was…read morepleasantly impressed by the entire experience. The owner is as kind and compassionate about the art in her gallery as the artists themselves. She is a wealth of knowledge and genuinely educates and equips visitors with the tools to experience the art as it is intended. It was amazing to learn the various techniques and elements used in each composition and to see the evolution of artists initial works to current and relevant work. My fiance popped in on a Sunday and lucked into the VIP treatment and cannot wait to return. In fact we are planning to attend the event this Thursday evening where we will get an opportunity to meet the artists that we learned so much about on our previous gallery visit. I'm looking forward to it and have recommended this gallery to nearly everyone I know. Thoughtfully, K & J. Porter

I was extremely disappointed at this place. The owner is extremely rude and I was surprised to see…read morehow she treats her "assistant". What a shame of a human being. I wouldn't recommend anyone coming to this store (Being in the stone oak area only means you tend to snooty people who don't know a thing about the true nature of art). There are actual galleries that are better and more professional in south town. Save yourself a bad experience and don't go there.

You need to pay inside the shop and then take your beer outside and hand it over to the guy making michelada. Best ever michelada's we ever had here. Worth it for $10. Must try drink here.

Then she just hung up on me. extremely rude and it left a bad taste in my mouth. I won't be going back to this place of business.

Like do u have them or not??? All my mom wanted was a Lele doll that wasn't exposed to sunlight like the ones on display. Said in a bad mood to go to the Market Square for "fresher dolls" for having an accent?but was nice to the customers that came in after us who didn't had one. Also said bad things about her own employees such as "liar". No wonder her sales are declining if she keeps turning customers down.

The dust bag and box I sent it in does not have any odor i called the store and the first lady who picked up told me that the wallet had been cleaned, I proceeded to ask for the manager, and the manager informed me that it was lightly clean then changed the story to say that it had not been cleaned she was very unprofessional and did not want to deal with the problem at hand. It is not worth going here, and if I could, I would leave a zero rating. Now my wallet has diminished in value and they have cleaned their hands of the problem.
