Downtown Shopping: Eclektica – Art for Everyone

March 23rd, 2010 · 1 Comment

Updating this as I just heard from owner Kim Merrick that she’s moved the gallery to Yaletown. Yay!

I attended a fabulous wine tasting event last week (hosted by the Downtown Networking Association) at Eclektica Art Gallery.

It’s a lovely gallery featuring original paintings, ceramics, jewelery, prints, and gift items.

What I enjoyed:

  • The gallery’s slogan is “Art for Everyone” and they stay true to this. The owners focus on having a wide range of price points and styles for all people. For example, they had a lovely mother of pearl platter for $15 versus a framed Koren print for $500.00.
  • My favourite – beautiful wood bowls made by a local artist. Several different sizes and several different woods. Prices range from about $40-$150, depending on size and wood.
  • Excellent selection of jewelry and accessories for all styles
  • The gallery looks small when you walk in…until you see the soaring ceiling and multiple floors. They’ve done a nice job with the space, considering the location.

A great stop if you’re decorating or looking for a unique gift.
