Dade City is now on the map for art! Sooooo impressed w/ what I saw & heard upon my visit. Months…read moreago (during the height of Covid), as I walked past this art gallery, I was greeted by the friendly owner. A lover of art (& someone who is appreciative of friendly people), I knew then I would have to return. Today was my lucky day. This gorgeous 3,000 sq ft gallery is owned by Russ & Lee Taylor-- a husband & wife team. Lee, a painter, spent many years as a local public school art teacher. Lee's medium is mixed media. Currently, 25 artists have pieces on display here & available for purchase. All but two artists reside in Florida. A few creations belong to one of my favorite artists (Lloyd Johnson of the Tampa area); they are sold here. Every piece in this gallery is handselected by the Taylor's. This gallery is perfect for anyone interested in abstract paintings, ceramics, jewelry, landscapes, leather, metalworks, mixed media, photography, sculptures, @ items of decor to brighten any home. The name of the business relates to the deep faith these business owners possess. The psalm painted within the gallery is "Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands." According to Lee, "As artists we make things with our hands, but more importantly, everything is truly out of our hands because it's in God's hands." A contributing artist here does not need to be Christian-- all (faith or no faith) are welcome for selection providing the art s/he creates offers positivity. This business is not merely a gallery. ART CLASSES are held weekdays & Saturdays for every level of artist (or future artist). There are also periodic art shows-- check out the gallery's Facebook page for more information. One dream of this lovely couple is to introduce art to the local community-- a goal they work toward six days weekly (closed Sundays). I love galleries, especially ones like this that showcase local artists from within our state. This beautiful, immaculate gallery is filled w/ breathtaking pieces that range in price from $10 upward. The space exudes incredibly positive vives-- such a welcoming physical space coupled with an exceptionally nice owner. I can't wait to return!

My sister, dressed in her school shirt and a skirt, and my brother, both clean-cut, were excited to browse for homecoming dresses and accessories. While in the store, we were confronted by an older blonde woman with a harsh and agitated tone, who asked us, "What are you doing?" We were confused, but I calmly responded that we were just shopping, talking about homecoming and looking at shoes. She stormed off without further explanation, heading straight to speak with the main owner. A few moments later, the owner approached us with an uncomfortable smile, reminding us several times, "There are cameras here, so don't be stealing." Despite assuring her multiple times that we weren't there to steal -- and even telling her about the nearly $100 I've spent on jewelry for my girlfriend and sister in the past -- she kept repeating the same message. I've even had coffee with this owner in the past and my sister has spoken to her about prom dresses, yet here we were, treated like suspicious outsiders. This was deeply unsettling, and we couldn't help but wonder if it had to do with our Mexican heritage or simply the fact that we're brown. The atmosphere felt judgmental and biased, which was heartbreaking given our past loyalty to the shop. To make matters worse, I later learned that the blonde woman who aggressively questioned us has around $600 worth of merchandise in the store, which makes it seem like her racial profiling was even more personal, and that supproting the store could lead to supporting this hateful and deeply disturbing person. This left us feeling betrayed and uncomfortable in a shop we once enjoyed. It's also worth mentioning that several items my sister bought here broke after just one or two uses, signaling poor quality. This whole experience has tarnished what used to be a welcoming store for us. As a family with connections to the military, education, and athletics, it's deeply saddening to encounter such blatant bias in our own community. I can't recommend supporting a business where racial profiling and uncomfortable judgment are part of the experience. Zephyrhills deserves better.
