A friend told me she had a very good experience there but I have been there twice and each time I felt like the person behind the counter could care less whether or not I was going to be satisfied with the outcome. Several times during our fifteen minutes there, we asked for help and advice ... All the salesperson did was hand us what we asked for. Finally I said: "I think we really need your advice. Nothing we are picking out seems to look right with this painting." We finally gave up and were ready to walk out, confused by the whole experience. Then she finally said: "Well, I wouldn't put a mat or glass on a painting." She stood there that whole time watching us flounder and ask for her advice yet didn't say a word until we gave up. I couldn't believe she stood there the whole time unwilling to share her expertise with us. She was going to write our order up regardless. Did she just not care or worse, was she somehow enjoying our ignorance? We left and found another framer in Bedford who was willing and able to advise us. The painting looks amazing in the frame he helped us pick out and we are very grateful.

The woman who was working and who I assume owns the shop was SO helpful! We were framing our wedding photo, the one I was looking forward to hanging on our wall for the rest of our marriage; the one I wanted to treasure and wanted framed exactly perfect. She wanted what I wanted! She wasn't pushy; instead she was cheery, polite, and extremely helpful. The prices were very reasonable too. I HIGHLY recommend this store for your framing needs.

Most recently, I got a large poster and a cross-stitch framed. The woman I worked with, Jennifer, took plenty of time to explain to me the different kinds of glass, matting, and framework that I could have done. This isn't where you go for a plastic 3X5 frame (that's Target)--the work they do to present your pieces will likely last a lifetime. I couldn't be more pleased with how these pieces came out, and I look forward to making more investments with Stanhope Framers in the future.

I am going to age myself a little bit here. Around 15 years ago, a friend and I visited the MFA. I…read morevividly remember these creative chairs with placards stating "please be seated." We'd look at each other, laughing, saying "I am sitting on art!" Though a newly minted teenager, I had the wherewithal to know not to touch anything (unless expressly permitted). This is one of the things about the Pucker Gallery that I wish were more clear. Some of the art pieces were designed to be interacted with, like a unique working elevator-type piece. Paintings? haha yes - I know to keep a respectful distance here. Some other pieces, while I cannot remember the specifics, felt they could have been either. Further, on the same note, there were a couple sliding walls with art slightly tucked away; are we welcome to pull these out, or a no-touching zone? Despite the two paragraphs I just spent exposing my past and putting the gallery on blast, I thought this Gallery was awesome! For what seems like a smaller gallery, they had more works seemingly than several contemporary art museums I'd been to. There were a handful of exhibitions and numerous works within each one. The best part: entrance to the gallery is free! Especially where tickets to the, [in my opinion small and underwhelming] ICA and Mass MoCA are $20 and $25, respectively, this is beyond amazing! Thus, Pucker Gallery is in a league of its own. It is like a free mini-museum that I would happily visit again, either alone, with a friend, family, or even a date!

When you enter the building, you'll have to take the elevator upstairs to reach the actual gallery. I was impressed by the size of the place, especially given it's on Newbury Street. I'm honestly not a huge art person, but I really enjoyed walking around the gallery. There was a wide variety of art, so there's something for everyone. I especially appreciated how there was a lot of signage with information on the art, as well as some tv screens with educational videos. I'm not sure if this is the type of place you can often rent out for events, but if so, it's really a cool spot for that purpose. I hope to come back and visit Pucker Gallery again!

And on top of that, they manage to install the shows harmoniously so that each artwork strengthens the next-- something that requires many years of experience, even for the most talented artists. The owner and her staff are so kind and welcoming. They generously invited me in while they were busy hanging the art for the next show. In my experience, this sort of kindness is harder to come by in such a fast-paced world, so what a breath of fresh air it was to be greeted so warmly. The gallery is conveniently located in the hip West Concord Village, near parking, food, and more fun, so I encourage you to plan your trip accordingly and spend some decent time in the gallery. It's definitely worth it.

She cancelled our first one. Still very enthusiastic about my work, she rescheduled but was a no-show without a word.

When I contacted her about the second missed studio visit from three days earlier, she apologized and asked to reschedule again, but I'd had it by then. I was tired of moving my heavy pieces into one room for easy viewing (and making snacks from scratch) for her not to show up.
