The Secord Gallery is a small gallery that primarily represents and displays work of Nova Scotian…read moreartists. The art is present in all media; from watercolors and acrylics to prints and photographs. Everything that is displayed in the gallery is available to be bought and prices range from a few hundred dollars for a legal sized piece to a few thousand dollars for the 30"x30" pieces. I recently joined a few friends to take in the latest exhibit that opened on March 26th featuring the work of Susan Hubely. Her work was very colorful, full of beautiful scenery and a great reminder that spring is well on it's way. Exhibits are constantly changing, every month so there is plenty of reason to check it out once and keep coming back. Although most of the art is severely out of my price range (even my fantasy price range) I would recommend this little gallery to anyone who appreciates beautiful pieces of art like the ones on display here. I wont hesitate to go to the launch party for next months exhibit. Hot Hint: The Secord Gallery website features the work of many artists who contribute to the gallery. The photographs taken by Dean Brousseau are my favorite.

Gallery staff were very helpful in helping me with my choice. It sits above my desk as I'm typing this review and I remain very happy and impressed with this super native art piece.

Artwork by PEI artists Richard Vickerson and Heather Millar are just a part of what you'll find. Non-painting art includes glassworks and jewelry. These aren't basic gold and silver hoops that you'll find in a local mall, but unique pieces that will give you a personal piece that you'll enjoy for years. Prices on the pieces I looked at ranged from $30 to several hundred $, so you should be able to find something in your price range. The woman staffing the store when I was there was knowledgeable about the works and the artists, so your questions will be answered in a friendly way. Great place to make a PEI purchase.

What an awesome little store! It's down a little street, so we almost missed it, but I sure am glad…read morewe went in! The people there were very friendly, and talked to us about the things we were interested and greeted us when we entered. They were willing to give us information about the things they sold and the artists they sold, as well. They prices were astounding! Solid wood furniture for only a few hundred dollars, and really awesome stuff. The artwork was expensive, as it usually is, but it was all really original and well done. I would actually have felt good spending the money on it, it actually felt like true art. I didn't end up buying anything since I don't live near, and we're just visiting. But my brother bought a few old skeleton keys. So cool!!

And I'm so glad we took the detour because we discovered this most awesome shop. I've listed it under art galleries, because it is filled with art. Art by local artisans in particular. From fabric and paper, to glass and pottery, each piece is a masterpiece. And if that doesn't get to you, they also carry scented candles and my favorite Tangled Garden herbed jellies. Sometimes you'll find fused glass serving platters and dishes that will brighten any home. Even if you don't use them and only place them in front of a window, you will instantly smile when you glance their way. By the way, I also fell in love with handmade purses and jewellery, and I can't wait for our next trip along the Lighthouse Route to get another fix.
