Quixotic Arts — Local services in Norfolk

Wow.....this is one the BEST stores in Norfolk. It is in the Riverview part of Norfolk on Granby....It's full of quirky, eclectic, sometimes dark, sometimes deviant, sometimes whimsical, always interesting and fun to explore. Dana the shop owner is so friendly and excited to talk to you about the artists she showcases and their work. There are some oddities, but nothing offensive. How you see things is reflective more of how your own mind works than the creator of a peice of art.....or life in general. She has items from under $5 and up.....greeting cards, magnets, embalming kits, plush Merdogs, photography, amazing straw art......I don't know how anyone could not find something or walk out without exploring the lot of it!! Also, plenty of parking is available on the street with no meters. FYI the coffin the dolls are in, is a shelf!!! Its locally made and only $75.....find that at...

This shop is so much fun. We don't live near the shop but will make an effort to try to get out there at least once a month. They have the coolest stuff, especially if you're like me and into the darker side of things like Halloween, Time Burton, Star Wars, or just art in general. The owner is very friendly and more than willing to help you look for a particular item if needed. It can be a little bit overwhelming when you first walk in for some people, just because there are so many interesting things to look at. But don't let that discourage you. And after you check this place out, there is a cute antique store on the other side of the side street.

So support your local businesses and check out...

Such a unique store in the heart of the Riverview area of Norfolk. There is a great selection of local artists work covering prints, jewelry, stickers, pins, etcetera. If you're looking for a gift for yourself or someone else that is outside of the box, this is the spot to visit. The lady in the store today was very friendly and you could tell she took pride in the shop. I definitely would recommend checking out this spot if you find yourself in that...
