This gallery ghosted me TWICE. I called about two years ago because I was interested in selling some paintings and my mother said this establishment had an excellent reputation. I called and spoke to a gentleman over the phone who requested some photos to be emailed. I sent them in and waited two weeks, when no one got back to me I called and the same man told me he hadn’t had a chance to look at the email. He NEVER got back to me. Then around march of this year I reached out again as I was moving in April and didn’t want to pay to move the paintings. Once again the same man asked for photos I suppose he didn’t remember me but that was fine it had been a while and I’m sure he has many clients . Once again I didn’t hear back from him but I decided to be more persistent. I called twice and left messages and he actually picked up the third time I called. I asked for any updates as it had been about three weeks and was told in a very condescending tone that “ the art world works very slowly” and “ he would call me next Monday” . Well next Monday was four months ago and I’ve not heard anything. Honestly if you’re looking to sell your art I wouldn’t waste time playing phone tag and begging for these people’s attention, you would probably do better on eBay.

Recently had ordered a ‘Teenage Head’ T-Shirt (50 Frantic Years) Limited Edition online from a Teenage Head Group on Facebook. Lucy did all the communications via e-mails. Orders could have been shipped out or picked up at Beck’s Fine Art store located at 196 Locke Street S. Hamilton, ON. There was a slight delay, because Beck’s were busy with some Tom Wilson merch, but it was eventually all worked out. Contacted store, and arranged for pick up of the T-Shirt (2X) nice job, professional handling and easy pickup procedure for this. Thank-You

I called the gallery to learn about a Hamilton textile artist born in 1899 and I couldn't find much information on her. The owner sat on the phone with me and gave me all the information he had, which turned out to be very interesting. I now feel like I have a little piece of Canadiana art!
