Hidden Gem in the Heart of West Texas. Tucked away on a dusty little main street where the sky…read morestretches forever, this small-town art gallery is one of those rare places that feels like a secret waiting to be discovered. I stopped in on a quiet Friday afternoon, just passing through, and left with more than just a beautiful piece of art--I left with a story I'll carry forever. The gallery that Julie and Bruce Lee have created is cozy and curated with heart. Local artists fill the walls, each piece breathing with the character of the land. If you find yourself anywhere near this part of Texas, do yourself a favor and stop in. Even if you don't buy anything, you'll leave with something: a little more soul, a little more story.

The couple running the place are delightful and full of great stories and information on their artists and the surrounding area. HiGHLY recommend you make a point to visit because this is quintessential Western folk art at its finest. I came for one artist and was delighted to find numerous others to enjoy. It's like a little museum on the backside of the main thoroughfare thru town. Definitely must visit location. Call first because they rotate between this gallery and their other one in Waxahachie.

"Javelinas & Hollyhocks?" My 11-year-old inquired as I drove to the boutique in Fort Davis, TX…read more "Yes, just wait. It seems like a cute shop," I responded. I quickly found free street parking. The outside had a bit of a western feel to it. On the inside, it was much larger than we anticipated with kid's toys, candy, and books to the right scattered with a variety of other merchandise like knicks knacks, magnets, stickers, cards, postcards, hats, collector's items, and more. When we entered to the other side past the register, however, much more sophisticated gifts in the form of women's fine jewelry, handmade soaps, purses, and women's clothing was nicely displayed. The lady at the register was nice enough, but she seemed to not care so much for kids. I purchased this t-shirt I have yet to wear because it has been so cold lately. It has Willie Nelson, Buddy Holly, Stevie Ray Vaughan & Billy Gibbons and reads "Texas Rockmore" below a Mount Rushmore-inspired photo of the four of them. A sister store is located in Alpine just down the road. Yelp denied my request to update the website on this page, so here's their link: https://shopjavelinas.com/ Thanks, Javelinas!

We were never felt like we were loitering, needed to hurry up and buy something, or too loud. Really laidback. So we loitered, visited, and shopped. Came away with a few cool things that of course we didn't need, but we wanted and would bring joy. Easy to make your way through the store, there's lots of items that promote the history, archeology, geology, astrology etc of the local (50 mile circumfrance+/-) area that would provide good background reading, watching, use.

Love this place so much! Kerri does a great job making it warm, welcoming and FUN to go shopping…read more Walk up to the door and you are greeted by adorable yard art (this time it was fun little poodle-like doggies) and a sign encouraging you to photograph the murals on the sides of the buildings. As you enter the gallery your senses are immediately overtaken by how much amazing cool stuff is literally everywhere. My 7yr old daughter exclaimed "wow mommy this place is so awesome!" the moment we set foot inside. Although she's been in before, the store is ever changing with decor and goodies everywhere. There are paintings, sculpture and photographs- all originals - throughout the store. Fun jewelry, beautiful clothing and gift items galore are in every nook and cranny. I highly recommend walking in and going straight back, down the hall to start. And then work your way forward again as you look at both sides of the walls. It's like art, color and vibrance jump off the walls at each turn. They have custom framing available and although I didn't get any done, my friend who lives in Alpine swears they are the best (compared to Dallas, TX for pricing and quality). I was delighted to see original paintings from an artist we saw in a friend's home. My daughter chose 3 paintings as a gift for her dad (Fathers Day was upon us) very reasonably priced at $85 each. I didn't want them sitting in my truck as I ran more errands so Kelly offered to package them for us to pick up the next day on our way out of town. During past trips to Alpine, and Kiowa Art Gallery, I have purchased tunic tops, earrings and hand-blown glass ornaments. This is one of our favorite places and we love popping in when we visit Alpine!

I was actually looking for an art store but couldn't find it and he didn't know where it was just that they moved a few times. After a few purchases in DQ we left the town to continue our road trip.
