The owner, Michael, works hard to bring local art to this wonderful little small town. This gallery shows a variety of types of art and has something for everyone in taste and budget with always changing exhibits from all local artists. There are many things that can make a perfect gift for yourself or anyone in your life. There is a large array of one of a kind items including stationary, pottery, photographs, paintings, sculptures and an amazing selection of jewelry all from local artists. Within the gallery itself, there are several working artists actively creating in their individual studios. I'd highly recommend checking this beautiful gallery located right downtown in Bellows Falls, Vermont!

All I have to say is "Wow"…read more I walked into a musical thinking I was going to see a kitschy version of community theater but what I saw was actually a top-notch Broadway quality musical. I was very very impressed. The theater portion of the building was basically a large room located above a small art gallery. It held approximately 100 people. I admit, the space was a little tight and a little stuffy, but the theater crew did an admirable job in pulling off the production without a glitch. This artsy organization in this cute little Vermont town will host other things besides musicals. They host a rotating art gallery. They conduct art classes. They host lectures. They host dramas. Etc.. Check out their schedule online. One last thing. The people running the show seemed super nice and super friendly. Even though tickets were sold out on the night I visited the staff members did everything in their power to get me in. They got me in.

This is one of my favorite stores to drop into when I am visiting Vermont!!…read moreThey always have an interesting selection of local artisan pieces, jewlery, locally made wood pieces. The store feels like it used to be a cozy home, with small rooms through out. Perfect for setting up a rustic little store that specializes in "Artful Living" - a description that I would normally roll my eyes at, but in the case of DaVilla Gallery, it is exactly right. It is located in a small shopping area in down town Chester. There are several wonderful stores in this area, but hands down, this gallery is my favorite of all of them. There is a nice combination of price point, so wether you are a local or tourist, you will probably find something delightful for yourself, or even better, a really special, unusual gift. I have been in several times, always finding interesting things through out. I have noticed the store has a larger inventory before the holiday season, for obvious reasons. An awesome little area of stores, definitely worth checking out!

There were some mediocre paintings and so on (it's a co-op!), nice wooden sculpture, and remarkable hand painted silk (and at $96, they knew it was good!) scarves. The shop did not cater to tourists with a painting of "our" house so we only walked away with a wooden implement. Still, during peak tourist season, this place must make a ripping profit!

Our experience was disappointing. We had to have the patience of saints to get the owner to be…read morehelpful about making any effort to fix the mistake the shop made. When we asked that the loose slip of information on the back of the poster be attached to the back of it after being mounted in the frame, the owner said they do that routinely, so not to worry. We even heard her instruct the employee putting the measurements in the computer to include that the slip should be attached to the finished back of the frame. We saw him enter that request, so we were confident they would follow the instructions. Except they didn't include our item, and didn't return it to us, and they still can't find that slip of information, which must have been discarded. Instead, they attached a colorful sticker identifying the shop, and also a sticker about the special glass. We stopped by last week to inquire the status, because we hadn't heard back in over a month. The owner was ever so breezy about how she'd just have a look in the workshop to find the item, as if it was a trivial matter, but after 10 minutes she still hadn't returned, so we left after providing our phone number yet again to an employee. Finally, someone called today to say that the owner found some information for us online and will mail it to us. It's a small printout about the image. It's a nice gesture. It would have been nicer if the owner had expressed her regret for what happened, and if she had given us her assurance that this wouldn't happen again, and if she had explained how it is they included their own material on the back of the poster, but not ours. The employees in the front of the store are particularly pleasant and helpful, so I am surprised the owner wasn't more solicitous. Please think twice about handing this shop any provenance about your artwork. If the owner simply had apologized for the mistake, we might have been inclined to give the shop the benefit of the doubt in the future. But without having received an acknowledgement that they are sorry this happened, we will take our framing elsewhere. We will miss the shop's great selection of unique greeting cards, but feel we should shift our shopping elsewhere.

When I first started coming to Brattleboro, I stumbled in this store. I had no idea what to expect…read more Greg, the owner, greeted me immediately. From the very start, he was so kind and very welcoming. He engaged in casual conversation with me in the most comforting and friendly way. He was adorable and sweet. I was just looking around and seeing what they had and he acted like I was the most important customer. I had no intention of buying anything - since I was just window shopping that day, but I really wanted to support him and his business and ended up purchasing a very cute pair of elephant earrings. Since then I've seen Greg around and have come to find he's just a wonderfully kind man. You definitely want to check this place out. It's full of fascinating, exquisite, and beautiful art and sweet little gifts. Support local business and the wonderful people like Greg that help to make this world a better place!

Don't judge the lavender paint job - I did it myself.

We can't even agree on where to vacation or a restaurant, so this is a great find. First, Jordana scheduled this directly with me, always quick to respond to emails. We had the price list ahead of time, so were able to check things out ahead. That was great. There were many different items to choose from, and we chose a paperweight, 2 vases and a bowl. Hubby started by making his paperweight. Throughout, Jordana answered questions (and we had many) and explained what we were doing. It was so cool just to be so close to the ovens. J and her helper (forgot his name) had their hands helping us when needed, and guiding us as we went through the steps. You turn the rod slowly, then you go pick up the colors you chose before we started, then you go back to the oven to get it hot again, etc. Was super. We were able to finesse what we wanted as we went along, too. So my daughter and I both made vases, but mine is a traditional straight sided vase in bright blues and hers is a triangular vase with a wide bottom in browns. So cool. We liked it so much we decided we would go annually for a family excursion. AND yelped helped us choose the Smoking Trout down the street for lunch, which we really enjoyed. I expected it to cost up to $500, but it was $375, including everything. I picked it up a couple of days later. This for us, was such a great choice. HIGHLY recommend this to families.
