After literally getting around 30 things framed here over time, I'm finally reviewing! Khahn is the best in the business, hands down. Met him at an art crawl, checked out his gallery, and knew I found my guy. He's a total perfectionist who knows his stuff and gives fantastic recommendations. I recently trusted him to reframe an authentic Matisse, which tells you everything you need to know about his skill level. We also love popping into his gallery to see what he's showing and have bought a couple of cool pieces from him. Plus, he's just a really nice guy! Highly recommend!!!

Visited for St. Paul Art Crawl and am so glad I did! I was able to connect with artists, see their art and wander about the galleries.

Fantastic work framing a print for us! Great service and very cool showcase of art. One of our favorite art pieces was also purchased there a couple years ago. Thank you!

Pictured is the artwork I purchased, I forgot to ask if I was allowed to take pictures in the gallery before I went in. When I return, I shall ask if pictures are allowed, and if I am given the go ahead, I will post newer pictures. My first art gallery I've ever visited. The owner was nice and respectful, and curated a diverse of art styles for the enjoyment of patrons. Not only this, but prints and greeting card versions of artwork was provided at a price patrons of lesser economic standing could afford. The art here really spoke to me, Marty Maehr's artwork was something I liked the most. Unfortunately, Maehr's work was out of my means to purchase, but I'll tell you it has the simplicity of mosaics from before the Renaissance, but had color blending that was many levels beyond simply eye popping. I recommend this establishment highly. Mr. Dow's art has set a high bar for future art galleries for me.

This is a beautiful gallery that showcases many rotating Minnesota artists: whether the medium is photography, sculptures, or paintings. The owner's mission is to showcase working artists in his beautiful gallery where the artists get support to display their work to the public and where they are able to receive a living wage for their pieces. It is a true partnership between the gallery and the artists. I absolutely love this mission. Currently there is a Ukrainian artist who is one of the artists displaying their work there. Go buy some beautiful art and help artists make a living in what they love to do. There's really something for everyone at this gallery. Last but not least, they also do custom framing, which is absolutely the best! I just can't say enough good things about this place and its owner... he's an immigrant himself that moved with his family when he was a youngster and he is so incredibly humble and genuinely the nicest guy. Go check them out!
