Wyland Gallery of the Florida Keys — Attraction in Key West

High pressure sales tactics really ruined this for me. I wanted to look at the art, but the pushy sales woman asked me what piece of art I liked best between 4 pieces on the wall and when I responded, she took me and the piece of art into a little room to look at it under better lighting. She asked me if I'd like a water or a soda or a glass of wine. I asked for a water, but she insisted on getting me wine. I didn't want to be rude, so I accepted the wine. Then she decided to show me a couple of pieces that were nothing like the first and introduced me to the artist, which was really nice and I enjoyed talking to him. After he left the room, she started to pour me more wine, which I refused and then she really started to sell me one of the pieces by the artist I just met. I told her I'd think about it, but she kept coming down on the price and telling me what a deal it was and she'd just wrap it up for me. I said no several times. Then she went to get the manager to help sell the art. I told him I was not going to buy anything on impulse and he let me go. I didn't get a chance to look around the whole gallery because she was on me like a used car salesman and that was really disappointing because it was my first trip to the Keys and my time...

I’ve been living in South Florida for 23 years and I’ve been visiting Key West since I was a little girl. This was the first time that I’ve ever felt so disrespected. When I walked into the gallery on February 23, 2020, I was with my boyfriend. There were a few other customers in the back of the store that were left unattended. However, as my boyfriend and I proceeded to try to enjoy the art pieces on display, we noticed that the gallery associate was following us. Literally standing 3 feet away from us the entire time. Meanwhile, there were other customers in the rooms in the back of the gallery who were left unattended. We immediately realized what was going on, felt uncomfortable, and left. I believe the associates name was Barbara. She is a taller, middle aged woman, average/husky build, with red/brown hair. We ended up spending our money elsewhere, which was a lot considering we originally planned to spend money at Wyland and their pieces are not cheap. Such a shame because the art gallery is beautiful. However I must say that Key West in general is not what I remember it to be at all. It feels as if the city isn’t welcoming of “certain people” anymore. If you know...
