Now that life is finally back-we can venture out and play. This gallery is warm, inviting, and full of electric energy. I visited this weekend and their two shows are: First Nation Australia Laura Josephine Snyder Second Street Gallery has introduced me to Australian art and culture, for which, I'm grateful. I'm looking forward to the next show! The museum is free and has great hours. Parking is blah, the options are free street parking (if you're lucky) garage or app. No worries though - may the parking gods be in your favor .

Amazing art shop! Definitely worth checking out. I couldn't leave Charlottesville without picking…read moreup some of Kim Myhre Clarke's weird and wonderful ceramic sculptures. Wow! Talk about something so strange that it elicits an emotional response. I absolutely love these little weird things. Amazing! Back to the shop itself - great location and very cool/eclectic vibes.

Oh How I LOVED this place!…read more A collective of artists in one location that gives everyone a face. Its a fantastic way to be seen, to have your product or vision shared with the community at large and maybe see a profit. While there I found several pieces of art I wanted, and a few I purchased due to being on a traveling budget. I got a lovely necklace and a piece of hanging art speaking of love. Visit and support this place and ALL places like this, they're so damned incredible.

Was in Charlottesville for the day exploring and saw this great looking shop located right on the…read moredowntown pedestrian mall. Being an avid Blenko glass collector I was instantly drawn to what was in the windows and in the well lit well displayed store. But alas it was not meant to be, all the lights were on but no one was there and the door was securely locked. Also there were no hours posted anywhere. I then heard from one of the neighbors that the owner just opens the store at random times when he feels like it. If that's the case why such a prominent location and why have all the lights on? Also a OPEN or CLOSED sign would work wonders. 5 stars for a great collection of mid century modern design. 1 star for not bothering to communicate store hours or availability. Then again perhaps nothing is actually for sale.

Ha! Had the same exact experience of the prior entry. I have been by twice now to try to gain…read moreaccess to this store, and have encountered the exact same thing: lights on, no one home, no hours posted. No way to do business!
