Its so wonderful to have a hub like this in our community. The staff is friendly. I was able to browse and look at the yarn they have. They host classes and workshops.

It was a class of 4 including us, so we wish there were more people in the class, but that's okay. That just means we have to spread the word about this location! The space was upbeat and there was music playing while we painted which was nice. There was also a photo op station. We would go here again for sure. I also love that it is woman owned AND a veteran! Thank you for your service

Be warned though that this place recently blew up on TikTok and I went there Saturday right when they opened and it was super packed. There's not a ton of room to walk around and people were congregating mainly by the baskets of small projects so I did have to wait quite a bit to look through them all. I am just starting needlepoint and I'm quickly realizing how expensive it is. But I would say this place is priced pretty comparatively to other spots I see online and such!

They started out as a "hole-in-the-wall" frame shop over on Grand Avenue. Then they moved to their two-story space over on Monroe Avenue a few blocks north of the old Grand Rapids Press. Now they have two sites. I love that they have continued to grow. Their success is well deserved. They support artists in a big way. They help you with your presentation, ie., framing, installation, giclee printing, etc., and they have the perfect gallery space to showcase great work. Their quality of work is always top notch. When you leave your work in their hands, you know it will be handled with great care and an immense attention to detail. I've never felt fully confident with picking out frames on my own for my work, but the staff at LaFontsee Galleries has never let me down. Our combined work is still on my walls from over the years all the way to the 1990s when I moved to Grand Rapids and they opened their first frame shop. This summer, I needed to have several canvases stretched on bars for my ArtPrize entry. Linda LaFontsee and her staff performed an excellent job and helped to make my artwork a success. If I were you, I wouldn't go anywhere else in West Michigan for preparing my work for a gallery show. LaFontsee cares and it shows.
