Walk in the door of this unassuming building and be blown away with the amazing and beautiful glass exhibit. The owner is a recognized artist with contacts with people in the field. I believe it is the only location on the east coast to see a Chihuly. Well worth a visit.

Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 26 reviews
Two decades ago in the village of Lenox, Massachusetts, Lynda Strauch, with her two young children, opened Concepts of Art. It was for her a business venture that combined two of her passions, art and Judaism. From a modest start, Concepts of Art/Lenox Judaica has grown to include several thousand Jewish ceremonial items, fine art, and jewelry, showcasing artists and products from Massachusetts to Jerusalem. Each item is personally chosen: from whimsical to elegant, from modestly priced to museum quality.
