I stumbled upon Gallery Raymond while searching for a gift to take back home from my visit to Kingston. While inside Raymond's shop/gallery I was totally impressed with the quality of local artists along with Mr. Raymond's knowledge of the area! The price's were exceptionally reasonable considering the high quality of artists he was representing. The environment was really chill and welcoming! If your looking for an investment piece totally check it out!

Martello Alley

CORONAVIRUS UPDATE: browse our gallery online 24/7 on our new 360 interactive site. You can find it at menu “Virtual Shop” on our Website. A quirky and fun little art gallery located in an old alley in downtown Kingston Ontario. It is Ontario's only alley art gallery. The indoor gallery is located at the very end of the alley, beside the courtyard. The other "shops" you will see are not really shops at all - they are facades created to make up a little "village". Currently there is a "fleuriste" (flower shop) and a "poissonnerie" (fish shop). In reality these are the back walls of the restaurant next door. The door to the "fleuriste" is not a door at all, and the door to the "poissonnerie" is the back door/delivery to the restaurant. The "lighthouse" and the "buoy", complete with seagull and nest, are there to store and conceal the restaurant's garbage bins and kitchen oil drum. These themed "shops" serve as backdrops for the outdoor art that display in the corresponding themed area.

I had a wonderful time visiting Martello Alley today with my boyfriend. I loved the way they had done the renovations, it gave the space a unique feel that was both interesting and inviting. The staff were both knowledgeable and friendly and I'm very excited about my purchases! I would highly recommend this lovely hidden gem to anyone who has an appreciation for art and the amazing community that comes together to support local artists.
