October Gallery

I really want to speak on how much of a beautiful experience we had at October Gallery. They were more than accommodating when my friend and I were late. Mr. Mercer greeted us at the door and toured us around the space. The artwork was beautiful and each peace had a story. Mr.Mercer explained not only the artwork but dropped so many gems on life, love and society. He even left my friend with a special gift. He is one of the kindest, purest hearted people we have ever met. Please support this business at all cost. They have done so many beautiful things for Black Art and culture in the last 40 years. I hope this place stays around forever and I can show it to my future children. Thank you so much Mr. Mercer this is an experience we Will remember forever and we will be returning!

Best place anywhere for fine art in general and Black art in particular. Excellent framing and Mercer, the owner of October Gallery, will probably handle you personally with much appreciation, knowledge and warmth. My latest piece, a Kadir, was purchased AND framed here. I couldn't be happier...

Lovely local art gallery featuring African American art.

I am writing this review on behalf of Dr. M. Tyler who has purchased original art named "King", by artist Laurie Cooper; also purchased a large African wood carved mask, as well as a wood sculpture affixed to a lovely wood base, Dr. M also purchased a black and white canvas photo of Harriet Tubman which she adores.

Also on the same day, she viewed the film Harriet which was showing at the Gallery and sat in on a lively discussion after the movie.

She is glad to have been apart of the lively, enriching, organic, art experience at October Gallery.

Highly recommended.

Thank you!

OMG - this was Outstanding! Don was our instructor and fun, fun, fun. The gallery is a gorgeous 3 story home and art from various artist flank the place. They have a small store area for small sales, but I do recommend going for the lesson. It made me appreciate how relaxing painting can be. Yes, I'd go back or have a party with Don as the instructor. Worth your effort.

I went for the free paint class which was great! The staff was friendly & the event was fun. My class was full and everyone was laughing and having a great time. I highly recommend attending the free paint classes & also seeing and purchasing the colorful and soul touching black art.
