The Cape has a plethora of galleries, but this one really stands out. There is a good variety of paintings, prints and sculptures here. The art is displayed in a charming 1850s Cape house, much as you might see it in your own home. The paintings are full of color and life, and are done by a range of emerging artists to artists of world renown. The exhibits change monthly, so make sure to make it to an opening, with live music and even livelier conversations. A must-see if you are on the Cape and love art.

This gallery is a co-op of talented artists. While a few works are 'pricey' MOST are quite fair and beautifully executed, a 'find' for us on Cape and our visitors. Limited off-season hours. Check their website.

Wonderful original paintings and prints of the originals that are representational but completely modern in their approach and emotional appeal. Serious art that will look even better in your home than it does in the gallery. Lauren Di Ferdinando's works are meticulously crafted and, while generally fairly large, they shimmer like jewels. Can't praise them enough. When you visit the gallery you are likely to meet the artist who is charming and unassuming and willing to discuss her art with you. A must stop if you are looking to decorate a home here on the Cape. JMO.
