This is an absolutely amazing gallery with an enormous collection of works of art and the best service. I was just wandering around Gastown when I saw the place and decided to stop by and ask for help with my silver ring that turned into oval because of my work. The wonderful lady in the store agreed to fix it for me without any second thoughts and did a wonderful job. I don’t think she was going to charge me for it. I was looking around while my ring was being reshaped and I found a few rings I really liked. I was told the story of the artists and the carvings on the rings which touched me deeply. This store offers a collection they have carefully picked from within Canada with a myriad of masterpieces crafted by First Nations artists. I couldn’t help looking at their website when I came home and I found that this is a family owned store that has been on the market since 1996! I am very happy I ran into it and had my chance to look at their collection that truly boosted my interest to First Nations artwork and the Pacific...

I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with everybody there. Joanna was so helpful, never trying to sell me anything but always happy to show me anything I wanted to see better. I so appreciated this as I am not much of a talker, but I really enjoyed my conversations here.

I was fortunate to be able to purchase two amazing pieces that I will admire and cherish for a long time to come, and the team there did a fantastic job packing and shipping this back to me in the states (and at a very reasonable cost for me).

Thank you, thank you for such an enjoyable interaction and such beautiful items to...

Last week we walked by the store, saw this stunning Douglas LaFortune Jr. totem in the window, and within minutes, had the measuring tape out.
Today, we made arrangements to pick up this behemoth (how much does thing weigh!!!) and to our surprise, Jimmy (co-owner with wife Pam) ran down the street to get his dolly from the car, helped us put it in our truck, drove behind us all the way home, and helped us up the elevator and to place it.
I mean, really??? that's outstanding. Hours of his time, completely unexpected.
Truly a pleasure.
And the selection of native art, native jewellery, is really remarkable. I was particularly happy to see Salish first native art represented since Gastown is on Salish land
Can't say enough...and when COVID is over, I'm bringing a bunch of friends to shop for the silver...
