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...

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

There's many art heaven's out there and October Gallery is truly one of the best of them all. Thank you for that beautiful experience, I will always treasure...
