We purchased two paintings from this charming little gallery. They have a wide selection of…read morepaintings in various sizes; real paintings not screen prints. The prices are really good and we were able to select our frame, which is included in the price. We received a discount off the already sale price for being new customers. CP, the manager, was very warm and welcoming. He was personable and took the time to get to know us, asked our names, where we were from, etc. He was very helpful in showing us different sizes, frame styles and other similar paintings that we may like. I highly recommend stopping into the Cape May Art Gallery for an enjoyable browsing or shopping experience. Say hi to CP!

I didn't have a great experience and honestly feel the need to warn people about this product. If…read moreyou stroll down the mall there are other art galleries, with similar sized originals and prints going for quite literally 100x more than the items here. A cautious shopper should wonder why that is. Upon entering, I noticed that these items appeared mass produced, as if a shop in China just cranked them out. Look closely and you'll see the same barn and silo over and over, with simply different color schemes and seasons around it. I asked the salesperson "Where do your artists come from? Are they local?" And she replied "oh they're from all over." Interesting... vague... so I pointed to a piece "Can you tell me about this artist?" and she replied "I think my brother-in-law painted that one." A joke? But again a curious deflection. Reading these Yelp reviews makes me raise my eyebrow even higher. "50%-70% off" seems to be an ongoing, continuous sale for the past 5+ years. One reviewer pointed out that she received an additional discount for being a new customer. Another for being a return customer. This isn't art. This is tacky. Ask any artist. Stroll down the mall into the other galleries and see what real art looks like, and how real galleries interact with customers. The goal of Cape May Art Gallery is in volume - to get people to buy as much of this faux art as possible to make a profit. That being said, people are comfortable decorating their walls with art from Home Goods and Marshall's, and that's fine. Just know that it's a similar quality here, despite being originals. If it seems too good to be true...

The owner and his wife are both very kind, and they're often working in the store when I come in. The owner of the store also has many pictures and he and his wife are happy to tell you where the pictures were taken and what they mean. You should definitely check out the shop every time you're in Cape May.

This brilliant antique store is unfortunately no more. They decided to close it about a year ago,…read moreand in its place came the Winterwood Gift Shop, selling Christmas gifts year round. Not to demean the newcomer, but I really miss having McDowell's. It was truly a special experience to walk into the church-like building on the corner of Washington Street, and enter the store. There was always a unique, homey smell about it. Everything was well set-up, and the owners were warm and friendly. We always found something perfect here. The second floor was home to many paintings - usually the highlight of our visit. So I offer this review as a tribute to the once-wonderful McDowell's.
