[kurt]

oh, great idea!

The Gaffery gallery in Blue Mountain Beach is my favorite. It is uniquely SoWal, and the art is a mix of the quirkily inspiring to the deeply thought-provoking.

The Gaffery Gallery is my all time fav. But the NU Gallery at Grand Blvd is moving up the ranks very quickly.

[Miss Kitty]

:clap:...have to agree with the saavy ladies above! It even has an artistic smell!

[tsutcli]

All of the galleries in Ruskin Place, Seaside. Especially on the first Friday of the month gallery walk

[Allifunn]

I like the cute little galleries in Gulf Place

My favorite is Grayton Beach House of Art. To me it is a total reflection of the beach and everything that is wonderful about the area.

Great art, fun staff, atmosphere, location, it has it all in one package.

I am inspired every time I walk into a gallery....and SoWal offers something for everyone! What I love the best is that you can go into many businesses that have art for sale on their walls, on the sidewalks, and in their homes. You can even get your hair cut in a gallery. Everytime I have been to Rolland's for a cut and color I am always inspired by the colors he uses.

Sorry to say one of my very favorite galleries was at
Patrone's "In the heart of Grayton"! :( Ohhh and Chick Huettel! I could go on and on.....we are so blessed.:clap:

I'm probably most inspired by the art of Gordie Hinds and Franco "Washboard" Jackson. Gordie's art can be found at Grayton House of Art in the Shops at Grayton, and Franco's works can be seen at the Eileen West Art Gallery, located in Ruskin Place on the north side of Seaside's Town Center.

I'd like to also say that Mother Nature's art gallery in SoWal is more inspiring than all of the artists and galleries combined. We sometimes forget that we live in an art gallery, filled not only with picturesque scenery, but also with beautiful souls of life.

:clap::wave:Me too Afunn....every time I walk by they call my name. I like to look in through the little outside window on each colorful building. Gives a unique prospective.

T. Cline Gallery, definitely! Love the quaint location in a fabulous natural setting in Pt. Washington. Charming and sophisticated, yet down to earth. If you haven't been there, make an appointment soon.

Smiling Joe ... we are inspired by you ... you are a man of many talents indeed! You were one of the reasons that one of the 2bohemians started to paint again :wub: So, thanks for the boost. And check out the new paintings on the virtual gallery thread .... painted with you in mind :D

Grayton Beach House of Art is a wonderful little gallery ... there is a little something for everyone and a grayt mix of artists. All of the galleries are worthy of being inspiring .... there are so many talented peeps here.

And we have to agree, mother nature is the master of inspiration!

[Smiling JOe]

Thanks. Those are very kind words.

Love the lures and boxes. Great work!

Every time I go in Marla and Shane Carter's gallery in Redfish Village and see the wonderful pics of kids, I have to go right out and take pictures of my little ones.

[rapunzel]

Well, it's not a gallery -- but a trip to tour the artists' studios in Point Washington would be a pretty great way to spend the day. Teresa Cline, Marti Schmidt, and Woodie Long all do wonderful work.

[buster]

For as long as I can remember I've been inspired by the work of Teresa Cline. It's so nice to have someone who has a different eye than what is usually seen in SoWal.

[shellak]

big mama's in grayton beach is the best art gallery around. there is a multitude of unique pieces, something for everyone's taste. debbie weant-lane, the real "big mama" is an incredible hostess and person - her generosity of spirit and otherwise are above and beyond. if i'm ever feeling down, i just take a trip there, and i am once again on a beach high!!

[shellak]

kudos to eileen west and annette of newbill for also offering wonderful art pieces with diverse appeal. also wonderful people to know.

I think the question could be...which doesnt put you off or is least pretentious.
The artist gladiator camp of south walton is a tripp...ya got guys luggin a brush for 2 years that come off like 'art gods'
gallery ; or "grey-mark-up people freak me out.
theyre either ver "precious from hangin in Ruskin too long....or get these awards for plagarizing recognizable work. Dont wanna sound too broodish.....but if ya dont see it mayne good 4 you.We tend to hide out;& the best thing I ever did for the world was bring a couple beautiful children into it.
I cringed on some of these names...but Debbie(we're having an affair) at big mammas is truly not going to create too much pomp around whats obviously just so much canvas...so you can hang out without feeling poor if ya dont buy anything.
Of alot of those places;I woulnt let them handle my work for a 10% tip on their end....dont want that vibe around my half baked/hack work.
Still learnin & screwin up

Hi Mark,
Love your work. I just wish I knew exactly what you just said/meant above.
:lol:

[Romeosmydog]

ummmm my favorite gallery is Woodie long's. But my favorite of all time was Collaborations in Seagrove, 9000 square feet of stuff that don't match the couch. (the help was easy on the eye too)

[shellak]

collaborations was the bomb in its day. each year we stayed in the 30a area, my sister-in-law and i would make 4 trips in a week to that place, just trying to decide on what we wanted to purchase!! the johnson were always wonderful hosts, and mama johnson would always lead to the newest artists. it was a very sad day when it closed but once bobby started selling real estate, the place lost its edge. but i have wonderful memories thanks to that store!!!:clap:

[Shockleysprings]

My vote goes to Ms. Cline. She's tops on my list.
