Skip's wife Laraine organizes and maintains a wonderful gallery of his art, on display and for sale. The grounds are beautifully kept, the whole museum is a great legacy of Skip's acheivements and his sense of humor and creativity.

Great little shops to stroll thru: a framers market and then a bakery/snadwich type place and we went on a Saturday AM and they had a duo performing as well. What's not to like

The glass work was absolutely beautiful. The owner explained the different types of glass, had specialty glasses for us to wear to see the colors as he made the glass pieces.

Expect the unexpected! Cross Rip Gallery represents outstanding artists from Cape Cod and beyond exhibiting out-of - the ordinary abstract and figurative creations with sculpture, paintings, photography, reliefs, prints and mixed media.
Reviewed By Vacation261932
The Cape has a plethora of galleries, but this one really stands out. There is a good variety of paintings, prints and sculptures here. The art is displayed in a charming 1850s Cape house, much as you might see it in your own home. The paintings are full of color and life, and are done by a range of emerging artists to artists of world renown. The exhibits change monthly, so make sure to make it to an opening, with live music and even livelier conversations. A must-see if you are on the Cape and love art.

Wonderful original paintings and prints of the originals that are representational but completely modern in their approach and emotional appeal. Serious art that will look even better in your home than it does in the gallery. Lauren Di Ferdinando's works are meticulously crafted and, while generally fairly large, they shimmer like jewels. Can't praise them enough. When you visit the gallery you are likely to meet the artist who is charming and unassuming and willing to discuss her art with you. A must stop if you are looking to decorate a home here on the Cape. JMO.

Wow! If you’re looking for an amazing oil paint class Will is your man! Our family of 5 (80years old down to 16 year old) loved this class! We dabble in “paint and sip events”, so it was amazing to get real life lessons and walk out w a painting of the lighthouse that we love! Will has so much talent painting AND instructing!! He was so calm and amazing at helping each of us. Highly recommend him!!! He was so accommodating and even allowed us to change days and add another painter last minute. We learned a lot from grids on the canvas to mixing oils. He was great and his studio holds gorgeous pieces for sale! We rank him 6 starts******!

We spent the morning and afternoon just strolling the whole marketplace, window-shopping and and actually making some purchases. All kinds of shops-men’s store, women’s shops and boutiques, souvenirs and plenty more. The market place was a safe stroll with no actual traffic to worry about. Plenty of places to stop in and get a bite to eat or have a drink. It was nicely decorated for the holidays although while we were there it was to early to see the full affect of the lights. If you are in the area it is definitely a cool thing to do even if you don’t shop and just people watch.

Full of nooks and crannies, this very old building exudes Yankee thrift and durability. Set amid the town, and not walled off from the flow of life, the capitol building screams New Hampshire. Live free or die!

There was an amazing variety of food vendors and farmers. There were handmade goods such as alpaca products, jewelry vendors, ethnic foods, cider donuts and pastries and coffee. There were numerous picnic tables set in the center, recycling and garbage cans readily available. Also a composting out house as well as Porta potty‘s. It was a great atmosphere and a great day. If you like farmers markets this was the bomb!
