Fountain Hills Artists' Gallery

Reviewed By jankB2396VW - Phoenix, United States

I make a point of visiting local artisan galleries wherever I travel. I don't always find something I like. On the contrary, at the Fountain Hills Artists' Gallery, I ALWAYS find something I like and want, either for myself or a gift. They are on my constant itinerary for out of town visitors. There is an eclectic group of artists and media, all artfully arranged--truly something for everyone. They are always organizing fun and creative ways to expose the gallery--a specific theme for a fun evening, or classes (and I've taken a couple of classes; people actually think I'm an ARTIST when they see my creations!). Even during our coronavirus quarantine, they are keeping in touch with their art family and showing their works online. BRAVO! They deserve our support!

Stopped in to look around today with a friend. I had my dog with me who is very timid and all of the employees were so kind and brought her treats and water. The jewelry is fabulous and the staff is very friendly and informative. I love Four Peaks so I bought a very unique pair of earrings made from Amethyst mined there.

Very clean, staff friendly and informative. The greeter @ the door told us where everything was and seemed proud of "his" place. Very refreshing. And we won! So it's a favorite!
