I purchased a very expensive painting from them and l still haven't received it due to their inexperience! Firstly, their very young employee Emma took it upon herself to send the painting via UPS Saturday delivery! She never once asked me if this was okay and the shipping fees were absolutely astronomical! I use a business address for shipping and Saturday delivery isn't even possible! ALWAYS CHECK WITH THE CUSTOMER FIRST BEFORE MAKING SUCH BIG DECISIONS! I requested a refund for the shipping charges, but Emma refused! Young Emma kept promising me that she had followed up with UPS to reschedule delivery, but sadly, l had to keep following up with her as she never followed up with me directly! I kept tracking the package and there were even more hiccups! The package was never placed on the delivery truck for the supposed rescheduled delivery of yesterday. Today l wait and wait, At 4:37 p.m. l tracked the package again only to find that the wrong address is on the shipping label! Where is my painting? I will never know and will file a dispute with my cc company. Just a warning to please avoid SOCO at all costs for anything of value!

With many local artists represented, the marketplace a place where over 40 different vendors come together to make for a fantastic leisurely shopping day. If you live in either the SouthPark area or East Charlotte, it is super convenient for that last minute gift for anyone-whether it be the reclaimed wood picture frame or the AMAZING Ella.B Pure candles all named after different areas of Charlotte. and don't forget a precious handmade felt card by Bobbin! If you looking to change up your dining room, Cotswold Marketplace is the spot for you as well. If the fabulous mix of mid-century modern, Asian, art deco, and more overwhelm you, they have experienced interior decorators who have vendor spaces as well. The refurbished and repurposed antiques are not what most of us would find in grandma's attic;These fabulous finds are a quite a bit more classy than your Saturday yard sale finds. If I am looking for a place to splurge, this is where I go for that one statement piece that is going to transform a room. On the flip side, this place is as southern as you get. I mean where else can you get a pair of running shorts with your initials monogrammed on them? Or maybe you want Fido to have a chevon printed collar. As you can see, the vendors greatly vary which makes for a surprise around every turn! Happy hunting!

But my college age son got a student rate and my husband was free. Nice perk, they also do this on Mother's Day, in case you didn't know for next year. I didn't take too many photos of the artwork. The special exhibit is quite large and there is a lot to see. There are two floors full of different types of art and sculptures. Really has so much to see here. I love where the Mint is located, too. Across the street is a green space with a few restaurants and a beautiful church that we visited while waiting for the museum to open at 1pm. Sunday. The entrance fee is good for two consecutive days so if you are staying close by, go back and walk through again. Lots to see. There is also a restaurant attached to the building that was very busy. They had live music as well.

There is a sign in there that says you will leave a friend, and I truly felt like I did. I am just a regular lady, I don't know much about art at all. But i was immediately moved by the beautiful pieces and the presentation of the art. This studio provides a Bio of the artist as well as giving wonderful insight. I had confided that I had achieved a one year goal and initially planned on treating myself with something that would not hold much value. Instead I purchased Linda James angels and I have my eye on other pieces. Even with my limited knowledge of art, Allison guided me through the studio and made me just a regular lady feel quite special in the art studio. Please check this place out. You will not regret it

The artists are set up mostly in stalls that they rent from the Art League. The pieces range from all sorts of different mediums: Resin, canvas, sculptures, photographs, etc. I've walked through several stalls and while most of the artists set up and go about their day-jobs, you'll occasionally find an artist using their stall as a studio and working on whatever project they're focused on at the time. Everyone I've talked to here has been friendly and inviting. This isn't your stereotypical "snobby" art place. These people are down to earth and eager to see you. Prices range from the super affordable to the super expensive, with a happy medium in every price range in between. One stall I saw had 24x36" resin piece on canvas that was going for $700!! Way out of my price range but I'm sure someone will see it and decide that they aren't leaving without it. If you find something you like, you can take it up front where the cashier will run your purchase on behalf of the artist. Keep in mind that mostly everything is for sale, but some pieces are works in progress or display only. Everything I've seen in here is labeled properly to avoid any confusion. It's a community cornerstone that hosts events, supports charities, and spotlights some of the most prominent artists in the QC. What's not to like?

The security guard had me wait in the lobby while he went in to the gallery to turn the lights on. I got the impression that there wasn't a whole lot going on here. It's a good thing that it's free, because 30 minutes of looking at pictures wouldn't have been worth much. And even at 30 minutes, I was still moving pretty slow. When I visited, the exhibit was "Streetwise", a collection of pictures of America's troubled 60's. Capturing images of not just our troubled times, including Boston's "Combat Zone" and close-ups of the Black Panthers, there were also shots of just regular people and places. All in black and white, which gave it a feel of being very like a documentary. Pictures of the pictures are not permitted, but I took that as meaning not taking a picture of the individual pictures. Instead, my wide shot of the gallery doesn't give away the detail but helps you see what you're going to see there. I might come back for the next exhibit, but I think this is a "See it once" kind of thing.
