We visited the West Chelsea Contemporary during their First Tuesday event. Wow- what a cool space! We easily spent 30 minutes looking at all of the art throughout the bright, clean space. We recognized a few artists and discovered some new ones. Every employee we encountered was incredibly nice and knowledgeable about the work. They were happy to describe the art and artists.

Stopped in WCC during the first weekend of SXSW and had such a great time. So many cool pieces, spacious, and friendly staff. We added ourselves to their contact list so that we're texted about future events! Can't wait!

I'm impressed with Austin and this art gallery! The recent show - Icons and Vandals, is well curated, well displayed and represents some excellent artists from around the world. The staff is wonderful and ready to answer any questions. The collection keeps rotating a bit because pieces were selling fast. The show is for another few weeks so certainly make time to go check it out.

A really nice and neat art museum where you can buy art pieces or related souvenirs. They hold artist talks every week and it's quite inspiring to attend those activities even for laypersons like me haha

Attended the This is Love Pop Up at WCC. It was my first time visiting and I enjoyed the diverse art pieces, clean space, complimentary wine and red roses. The exhibit featured local Austin artists directly alongside big name creators which I thought was pretty neat. WCC has convenient access with a parking lot in the back. Will return to view more!

The moment we walked into the WCC we were welcomed with open arms. Megen walked us through the gallery giving us background on the pieces. We ended up captivated by a Andy Warhol Debbie Harry portrait. She coordinated the drop off at our house... which included an installation by Josie and Jacob. Not only did the team install our new piece, they also helped us rearrange other pieces around our house. So professional. We can't wait to work with Megen and WCC again on a commissioned piece.

Well, I've officially recommended visiting this gallery to everyone that lives in my building so here's to the world of yelp too! This gallery is incredible. I came for the Concrete to Canvas exhibition and it absolutely knocked my socks off. My all time favorite street artist is JR and when I heard one if his pieces was displayed here, I came the next day. I really only came to see him but was memorized by the incredible work of the 38 other artists on display. These are truly the up and coming artists of our generation and how lucky are we to have them displayed in downtown Austin. The exhibition is in a large room with dividers that allow for you to slowly snake through. Social distancing was pretty easy as only a small handful of pieces (or a single artist's work) was available on each divider. I ended up enjoying the exhibition so much that I purchased their 'Concrete to Canvas' book there so that I wouldn't forget a single artist's name. If you are free for an afternoon, I recommend spending at least a half hour of your time here. It won't take too long to see the entire exhibit and it truly is incredible.

I have visited this gallery twice and loved it both times! The staff are very generous with their time and knowledge about the art and artists. It was a lovely way to spend a Friday evening! Highly recommend.

This gallery is warm and inviting, both because of the gorgeous exhibits they consistently showcase and because of their lovely staff. I've made several visits and always feel very welcomed. This past visit, I was especially helped by Allee, the Assistant Director. She was so kind and wonderful to speak with, showing me several items they had of my favorite artist and even taking me to their backspace to show me some pieces not on display in the gallery. I really love that West Chelsea highlights local artists alongside more well-known artists. I highly recommend a visit to anyone who enjoys looking at art, regardless of whether you're a potential buyer.

Steve (the owner) spent a lot of time helping select just the right frame. Everything needed to be accurate; proper depth and texture, etc. I am beyond pleased with the work here. He's got a staff of artists who understand how important framing is. From the smallest jobs to the biggest, they nail it. I won't go anywhere else. The pricing is incredibly fair and it was far less than I expected to pay. A++++++++

I was originally referred to Contessa, but they were booked up and could not turn this in time. Contessa recommended DTW so I took me two drawings in and met the owner. The framing was actually done before the promised date and looked exquisite! One of my pieces sold at the opening reception and the other sold a few weeks later! The show closed on April 19th and I received an email from the Neill-Cochran House Museum that one of the 2 pieces was voted "Fan Favorite" by those who visited the exhibition! I will definitely use DTW again for my next show and highly recommend you check them out!

I have already had multiple items framed from this location, but recently I brought in four pieces. I piece I asked for some special modifications to the piece and they were able to accommodate all of my requests. You can't even tell where they made the modifications I asked for. The frame materials they use are the best and they really live up to the name "Fast". When I brought the items in, they told me when they would be completed and it wasn't that long of a wait. But to my surprise, they had them all finished a week sooner! The people who work there are also the best. Kate helped me and she is absolutely amazing! She was great at helping me pick out mat and framing, sizing and everything I needed. When I picked up the finished products, they were perfect! They even came out better than I expected. I have to drive an hour to get to FastFrame and there are other framing stores closer. But none do the same great work as FastFrame. I cannot recommend them highly enough and if you have anything you want framed, you'll be so happy with their work.

In a big smile in his face and said "oh boy do they!" A book appeared from nowhere and we spent the next 20-30 minutes looking at examples.

It is an open space with all sorts of art supplies, tools, and just about anything your imagination can muster up. Lots of inspiration. I was hoping to make more than just one small block and have different supplies like fabric for printing. It was very therapeutic to carve my small block. The class felt a little scattered - but it was a very easy going environment, super relaxed. Our instructor was friendly and encouraged us to tap into originality without overthinking it instead of looking up patterns or inspo on our phone. I really liked that. And she offered us all coffee, freshly made. You can basically come in to do all the arts and craft your heart desires, on a donation basis. Affordable and unique way to release your artistic side without investing too much in all the supplies and then an abandoning a hobby. I'd come back with a friend and check out a different class.

At the end, I was able to create my own lanterns with some creative twists. I had a fun time and will recommend my crafty friends to check this place out!
