Eno Gallery has a nearly perfect setting for a gallery. It's on the corner of two busy streets, is…read morea taller building than it's immediate neighbors, and has big windows that make you want to look inside. So I did. I saw a nice gallery, with the white walls and squeaky light colored wood floors. The first floor is a little crowded, with the paintings, pottery, glass work, small sculptures and miscellany. On the day I was there, a couple of the artists whose work is displayed were there for an open house, so maybe that's why the area seemed cluttered. For me, the second floor is more interesting. The narrow stairs leading to it, open into a large room with minimalistic decor. The displays are the only decoration. It was more conducive to showing the art than the downstairs. It's modern art, by many local people and a few nationally known artists. There's a lot of mixed media pieces and sculptures, each interesting, but for me, more at home in a gallery than in my home. Still, it's a compelling place to visit and a great place to perhaps meet the artists during the monthly open houses.

My husband and I stopped in at the Eno Gallery after a wonderful lunch just up the street…read more They have a very nice variety of art from local artists. You'll find sculpture, pottery, glass, and paintings. This is where I discovered (and fell in love with) the artwork of Larry Gray. Mr. Gray does large format paintings of luminous, turbulent skies over the tiniest sliver of landscape. It is amazing how the paintings seem to have an internal light, and the barest shimmer of rainbow colors. I am baffled by his technique, and completely in awe of his talent. I am not surprised that he has work in the permanent collections of MOMA and the Art Institute of Chicago. I am -completely- surprised that the Eno Gallery website allows you to download high resolution jpgs of his work! I can only assume that Mr. Gray wants as many people to enjoy his artwork as possible, even people like me who can't afford to spend $12,000 for one of his spectacular paintings. Still, a jpg is no substitution for the real thing, so I encourage you to stop in and see his work in person.

You can also rent this space out for events. This would be an awesome place to come. It's a cute date night as well. Walk about the city and stop in for a nice art experience. (Don't forget about the small upstairs gallery) Parking is on the street or in a nearby parking deck.

I left with some jewelry, a neat snail sculpture made from all reclaimed "trash" metal scraps, some hand carved sandstone, a hand carved crucifix, and a purse. Nothing I went in expecting to get, and I get compliments all the time. Also a HUGE room of fabrics!

It's an open space shop, with wide aisles and lots of glass shelves and racks to keep the light flowing throughout. It makes it easy to see the item in a non-distracting setting. Things are mixed throughout so you'll find similar items all around the store. There's a mix of media here, art created by the two owners along with pottery, jewelry, prints, scarves, and the like made by others with whom they share a common view. The goods are contemporary for the most part, but with a nice variety. For a unique gift, or to claim ownership of an original work of art, you'll find this is a good place to start, or stop. You can probably find something less expensive at a similar-themed place, but what you get may be more cookie-cutter style.
