I ordered online from Blue Pelican Gallery. At the time of my order, the Gallery was up on stilts, being raised due to flooding. Jennifer contacted me and let me know that she couldn't get in her store (safety) at the time and asked me if I wanted a refund or if I wanted to wait until the Gallery was lowered back down. I told her I would be fine with waiting. It wasn't more than a week, but one of the items I had ordered got lost when they lowered the house and the display fell. Jennifer wrote me a note and sent it along with my order explaining that one item had been lost, she sent several replacements, refunded my shipping, and said that she will ship the lost item when she finds it. This woman is BEYOND NICE!!! She has gone above and beyond in making up for the loss of an item that was beyond her control! She is an example of what not only quality customer service, but a quality human being, should be! Thanks Jennifer! I will definitely be recommending and shopping from your store again!

Carolina Creations has beautiful and unusual gifts, especially when you are looking for an elegant, one-of-a-kind wedding or special event present. The local artists are so diverse. I can always find a special keepsake or gift, and the staff are so helpful. It's my favorite shop downtown New Bern.

If you visit Washington, you need to see if there are any events here while you visit. It is an awesome theatre in the heart of downtown. If you are lucky enough to be in town on Thursday or a Saturday, stop by Thursday evenings from 6:30 - 8:30 or Saturday morning at 10 to listen to the Beaufort County Traditional Music Association. It's free and it's the Associations time to play in the round. You can also bring an instrument if you play and join them The music is fantastic. You can come in anytime during their jams. They also have art openings here, movies and musical events. They did an incredible job in refurbishing the theatre - it's just beautiful!

Original acrylic paintings on canvas, giclees, three dimension metal work, pottery, jewelry and locally made gift items.
Reviewed By bobwQ6819PZ
Two artists with connections locally and as far away as the Maui coast of Hawaii have established a gallery of refreshing originality in tiny Salter Path, NC. Their paintings, glasswork, metal work, pottery and jewelry indicate the breadth of their individual and combined talents. But their artistic vision is what makes this a required stop for anyone interested in coastal art and beyond. An added bonus is the delightful vibe of the studio reflecting the personality of its owners and its place at the beach!
10. The Contemporary Art Exchange

A great place to purchase affordable contemporar art. This funky downtown gallery resides in a rehabbed historical property just past Market st. Exposed brick walls and original fireplaces are a great stage for a continually rotating exhibit of modern art by primarily southern artists. Future plans include a fully landscaped patio designed for leisure as well as a wine and craft beer menu.
