The owner is very knowledgeable, with a strong interest in textiles, ceramics and crafts. She travels during the winter in order to find new emerging artists, but she also features the best local artists. Prices run the gamut from affordable to out of sight. Openings are fun and friendly. The staff is really helpful, too. This gallery has stood the test of time, and it deserves a shout out. If you enjoy discovering new artists and meeting new people, come to an opening at the Shaw Cramer Gallery. I'll see you there.

I'm a museum person and this one definitely didn't disappoint. I appreciated the grounds which were…read moreabsolutely stunning and opened up directly to the water. All of the staff there were amazing as well. The museum had a small but serviceable section on Jaws and I appreciated the movie clips that they had. As a history teacher I appreciated the sections on the history of the island and the shipwrecks around the area. Overall we spend about a little over an hour there. It was a nice time but for $21 for adults I did find it to be on the higher end of museums I've been to. But if you're in the area and have the time I do recommend stopping by.

I'm so disappointed that I must give this gallery ONE star. I would have given none of that was an…read moreoption. The owner was incredibly rude upon our entrance into the gallery. She was sitting in the back and took a few seconds to come up to greet us. Immediately told us that where we were standing is where the gallery ends. Okay, no problem. A sign or polite explanation would have been nice, but oh well. Being a dog lover and an owner of a golden retriever is what led us to the gallery. We made a special trip back to town when it was open because we were so eager to hear the story of the dog(s) and possibly buy a print, painting, or book. Even after being rudely greeted, I felt compelled to ask about the dogs. The owner was very abrupt and said she was not feeling well and did not want to talk about the dogs, but she was willing to discuss pricing. Hmmm, not much for small talk, I get that, but humor me and engage in a conversation. It was at that moment, I knew I would not purchase anything and support such an arrogant small business owner (believe me, I always try to shop small business). Trying to be polite while leaving, I said, "You're work is beautiful. You must really love your dogs." The response I received was what prompted me to write this review. She said, "Well, I love art. My art comes first. My dogs are secondary." For those who don't like dogs, I get that this may seem a bit rough on my part, but you own a gallery called Yellow Dog, and you paint and take pictures of dogs. You need to expect people to want to talk about DOGS and the inspiration for your work. Make it up if you have to. I don't see this gallery lasting long with the lack of interpersonal skills of the owner and her unwillingness to discuss the story behind her art. Too bad.

Being dog lovers, my boyfriend and I were instantly drawn to the yellow dog gallery when visiting…read moreMartha's Vineyard. Immediately upon entering, you are greeted by a strong odor of a wet dog, which was the best part of the gallery due to it's indication of a dog's presence. However, the mood was quickly brought down when a woman hobbled in off the street demanding that my boyfriend put his camera (phone) away while shouting that everything in her gallery (apparently) was "copywrited." He apologized and complied with her wishes. Before we could ask her anything about the gallery, an adorable and charming golden retriever popped up with it's paws on the counter as if he was ready to help us. I was delighted and asked the pup if he worked there. To which the owner of the gallery responded no, and in fact he shouldn't be up there. She also asked us not to pet him as it would "only encourage him." Due to her abrasive personality and poor attitude toward animals and her customers, I then stated to my boyfriend that I thought we should leave. She, however, got the last word as she said, "Yeah. Because I'm not selling dogs." As my boyfriend quickly ushered me out the door. She undoubtedly doesn't sell any art either since she verbally assaults any potential customers that enter her "gallery" to then follow through by chasing them back out the door.
