I love colorful, uniquely New Orleans art and Tami Curtis fits the bill. I just happened to find her gallery in the back of another store I was visiting and I loved all of her bright, beautiful work. Tami herself is friendly and is happy to tell you about her pieces. She sells originals and prints of her work including such subjects as Louis Armstrong, Pete Fountain, BB King, St. Louis Cathedral and much more. I don't know if I'll ever have enough money to own a Tami Curtis original, but I would love to add one of her gorgeous prints to my collection someday. read more

A friend saw her art at a local event and purchased a Mr. Bingle piece for me so I ahd to find her studio and see more...turns out she's in the pop up space behind Miss Smartypants. Easy-peasy. I stopped in to peruse her wares and was super excited by the old theater seats completely painted with images of Louis Armstrong along with song lyrics. STUNNING! If only I had room and $$ for such a purchase. She sells originals and prints with lots of NOLA local flavor. Definitely a great spot to peruse for something new for your house or a gift. And I love my Mr. Bingle read more

Lovely gallery of the even more lovely Tami Curtis' works. If you're looking for AUTHENTIC New Orleans art by a real live Louisianan, this is it! She's got a great sort of pop art meets impressionist style. Her water meter cover imprints make a great souvenir or gift for someone that holds New Orleans near and dear like I do. She also has an amazing musicians series that any jazz or blues lover would enjoy. I pick one up every time I visit Nola. Her prices run a full range so you can pick up a little post card or print very inexpensively or you can invest in one of her beautiful originals that I'm sure you will enjoy for years to come! read more

We've been to New Orleans dozens of times and find we're better informed than many of the natives. We even dined at 2040 St. Charles on our honeymoon and know why there's a tribute restaurant to Olde N'awlins Cookery in the Quarter. I purchased a special item last January and recently asked to Tami do a very special personalized item for our anniversary. I trust her to capture the spirit of what I want. Very reasonable terms and can't wait to see the finished piece, she described it back to me just as I envisioned it. You'll want one too. Got my project as promised. Thanks to Tami for helping to surprise my wife with the best gift ever. Will visit often as trips allow. Wonderful and affordable. read more

Tami is a fantastic artist and my wife and I own a couple of pieces of her artwork. So I decided to purchase a gift of 4 art lessons for my wife for Christmas. My wife was thrilled and very excited to begin her lessons quickly. While Tami is a great artist and maybe teacher, she is very unorganized and flaky. She blew my wife off for two months on why she couldn't start her art lessons. Then when she finally arranged to start the lessons, she forgot about the first lesson, cancelled two others with short notice and then stood her up for another lesson. My wife finally has to cancelled her art lessons with Tami because she was so frustrated and disappointed. We did get a quick refund for half of the lessons at least. Tami's art is great and she is a very sweet person, but beware if you want to purchase lessons. read more

I first met Tami when I randomly walked into her studio while exploring Magazine St. Her work immediately conveys in vibrant color all the beauty, charm and character that makes New Orleans the magical place it is. My girlfriend and I spent several hours speaking with and getting to know her, and we've been friends ever since. Five pieces of her work now hang in my home, and many more will in the future! There aren't many more genuine or talented people in the world, and no trip to New Orleans is complete unless some her of work returns home with you. Do yourself a favor and check her out! read more

Tami has been instrumental in my daughter's development as an artist. My 9 year old daughter has been obsessed with art since she was about 3. Very talented, she wanted to learn and grow by studying with a working artist. Tami Curtis has been the perfect fit as she's an active artist with her own gallery (where the classes are held) and also a patient and gifted teacher. Zora has been studying with Tami once a week for the last year. Tami includes fundamentals of art, art history, field trips to museums and lots of studio work. All of our family is amazed when they see the work that Zora does in Tami's studio. I would highly recommend her for art lessons - or to just buy some of her work. read more

Tami Curtis is an amazingly talented artist with a love for color, and a love for the rich New Orleans heritage that surrounds her. I was able to attend her introduction of the "Flying Horses" at the New Orleans City Park Carousel, and was totally amazed and in awe of her work. What a wonderful person to work with in any way. She has a love for family, friends, her home city of New Orleans, and the creativity that is such a huge part of her life. She lives life to the fullest, and maintains a positive attitude. If you need an artist, definitely give her a call! read more

No one paints local musicians and natives like Tami Curtis! I have in my dining room a large original of restaurant employees taking a smoke break. The colors are vibrant and she captures so well the personalities of the workers. I also own a multi-media of Louis Armstrong which is amazing and a scripture board with my favorite verse on it. I treasure her work! Tami is also very personable, so stop by her gallery on Magazine Street which has many affordable items and NOLA souvenirs. read more

Tami is a wonderful local artist with such a love of the city and for people. The gallery is so warm and inviting and we could spend hours looking over the art work. While we were there, she was so sweet and showed us so many pieces as well as some that she was currently working on. It was nice to be able to speak to the artist and take home a few signed pieces. We will definitely be continued customers and hopefully one day will own an original! read more

I met Tami through Facebook. That's when my love affair with her work began haha! I have multiple prints by her, and one actual canvas painting. Tami took a childhood memory and a photo of mine and turned it into a work of art. She did everything I asked, and even added a little lagniappe on things I wanted but couldn't articulate. She is amazingly responsive to emails and messages, as well as phone calls. I've recommended her to quite a few of my friends, and I've warned her that I will buy out her store if I'm ever in NoLa again! Seriously, if you want unique art, this is the place to find it. She won't let you down :-) read more

Gallery 220 is my favorite art gallery…read more For those that know me, you know that the idea of me perusing an art gallery is quite humorous. I don't frequent traditional art galleries, but Gallery 220 is anything but traditional. It's unique, casual, reasonable and more of a shared space where many different artists can sell their creations. Inside the shop there are six or seven different areas. While all are cool, there are three that stand out to me. The first is immediately to your left when you walk in. That area has art created from metal and wood scraps that Is industrial looking while still having a homemade look to it. The best items there are their magnets with metal hearts affixed to wooden blocks. No two are alike and they are very reasonable. The next area I really like is along the left wall towards the rear of the front room. That area has art that focuses on local sea life. My favorite painting was one of a crab, but it was a little rich for my blood. Last, but most certainly not least is the area in the back room. There you'll find the custom ceramic artist that recreated the facades of local and New Orleans businesses and landmarks. There were famous Nola restaurants like Commanders Palace, all the local cities, and even that bullshit school Jesuit. These ceramic pieces were remarkably accurate and were very reasonable. If you are in downtown BSL, you owe it to yourself to stop here.

I found that out as I was exiting the train via their website. I was pretty disappointed, since there were literally no breakfast places around and the train drops you off at like 9am. I even asked the customer service person at the exit of the train, and nothing. Bay Saint louis would make bank with a 7 day a week breakfast place. Anyway, we came here regardless of no food to get some wake up juice. There were so many flavors and different combinations to try, let along the alcohol coffees. So, I decided on the Belfast Brew. It had Jameson in it and Irish cream. It was sooooo pretty when it arrived! Like a dessert! We sat in the couches and just chatted, very relaxing and no rush to be anywhere. There were a few people here so I can imagine it probably much busier later in the week. I have thought about this coffee many times since I had it and I wish something like this existed in New Orleans. It really was one of the best 'Irish coffees' I have ever had!

We found Denise Hopkins on a wedding website and looked at the Live Wedding Paintings she posted online. We were very impressed with the beautiful works of art she posted, so we booked Denise to Live Paint our wedding reception at the "Messinas" Atrium in New Orleans . From the start, Denise was very responsive with early communications, explaining the process and giving advice on what shape and size would best capture the reception venue. She suggested square (over rectangle), because our venue has a mezzanine and high ceilings. It was great advice. When our wedding day arrived, we finally had an opportunity to meet Denise in person, at our wedding reception where she was set up to create a painting of the celebration. She is a wonderful person! Denise was an absolute hit at our wedding! So many of our guests raved about how great it was to have Denise with us, painting our big night, and interacting with the guests. Some of our guests even took photographs of the painting at different stages, so we could see how the painting progressed through the evening. The final piece of art is exceptionally beautiful! Denise perfectly captured the magical energy of the entire wedding reception. On one canvas, Denise created an art piece that tells the story of our special evening, celebrating our love, while we dance the night away with family and friends. Every time we look at the painting, we are transported back to our wedding reception, and it gives us butterfly's. Huge thank you to Denise, for telling the story of our wedding in such a unique and beautiful way. -Kenny & Luyen

My girl friend and I took art lessons from Tami Curtis because we admired her unique and colorful art style and we were impressed with the posters she was commissioned to do fo various festivals and events. Tami's teaching skills are as great as her art skills. She begins with basics, showing how to paint from a picture you pick out. She shows step by step how to layout a sketch of the painting, then how to blend and match colors, and finally how to apply the proper strokes needed to bring the painting to life. We were very excited to see how well we were able to follow Tami's instructions and we show off our paintings to friends and company whenever we get the chance. Beside being a great artist and teacher, you will find Tami to be a very warm and friendly person. You will make a new friend as well as learn to paint! read more

Tami is an awesome artist as well as a good Christian woman. I have been to her studio in New Orleans and I absolutely love her artwork.

They absolutely adore her and love going to painting class once a week. They light up when they walk in the door of her studio and she greets them with a smile and a hug. Almost everything they have done at their art lessons has been framed and put in our house. Go check out her gallery when you are in New Orleans! read more
