Wimsey Artisan is a true hidden gem in the Heights! The shop is full of whimsical, trippy art from local artists — everything feels playful, creative, and just a little surreal. Prices are great for such unique pieces, and the customer service is a perfect 10/10. Friendly staff, cool vibe, and always something new to discover. A must-visit!

Stunning artwork from some incredibly talented local artists. Thoroughly enjoyed my visit the other day. Purchased some prints that will be loved at home. Highly recommended.

Wanted to do something fun while I was in the Heights area and found this little shop off of 18th street. Jess the owner is super amazing and her art gallery is curious and quirky. They have items from over 180 different local artist and there is something there for everyone. I myself ended up with the cutest ever crochet cat which you can see in my pictures. So let your curiosity get the better of you and stop on by.

this place is so sick! i'm so glad i stopped by. private parking lot which is great. the entrance is a bit weird as it is connected to couple of other stores but not hard to find. i came here to get some inspiration and find new local artists to support. Jess, the store owner, was so personable and kind. she knew who the artists were and the backstory of their pieces.. i thought many artworks were super unique and cool. my favorites were pieces by Tom Rye, Love Chai Chi, and couple of others... and the wood puzzle board made by a retired pilot.. overall so many talented people!!! overall i really like this small shop and would recommend you to check it out!
