Grand Hand Gallery — Attraction in Saint Paul

I have only been here once, and never again. I went there with my partner and noticed a few issues. 5 minutes in, my girlfriend and I felt like the staff were following us the entire time we were there. At first we thought it was a coincidence, but we kept seeing the same middle-aged woman with brown hair being around us the entire time. It was really annoying because we were celebrating our 1st year anniversary. We also noticed a few roaches on the floor, some were dead and others were still crawling. There was also a strange odor throughout the place, it was very musky and a smely a little bit like ammonia. I was really bummed out, I was looking forward to this place. I wanted to buy a painting for my girlfriend, but after this experience I no longer plan to purchase anything from here. Luckily the artist have their own personal sites to purchase from.

10/10 would...

This is THE place to find unique items, whether you are looking for something for your space or looking for a gift! Prices range from a few dollars up; art is affordable, and the staff who work here will help you find what you are looking for within your budget. Every month they feature a trunk show or meet & greet with at least one artist where you can talk to that person about their process and maybe even score a signed piece. It's not unusual to listen to some live music while a show is happening. Oh, and there are two resident dogs who are just as sweet as can be, and love kids who give them...

Whenever I want to get a special something as a gift, or friends visit and want a souvenir that's not of the sports-logo variety, I go here. Not only is it great to support local artists, but they have such a wonderful variety of treasurable items in every price range---from wooden bookmarks to wall-sized paintings and everything in between! You never know what new delight you'll find, and that's what makes it worth visiting...
