Art Galleries in Carbondale, CO

“Stopped here to ask about lunch & to find a loo in Marble yesterday, a town of 133 people, according to the 2020 U.S. Census, and a town my dad loved & showed me in 2008, and met beautiful people, Lynn and Vickie, who listened to my love for my dad, gave me hugs, and gave me a map to find the happy public restrooms in this friendly artist & historic marble quarry mountain town, beloved my dad & now me. After enlightening & encouraging chit chats with both Lynn & Vickie inside, Vickie gave me a tour outside of her husband, Rex Branson's, and her art work, which I found beautiful & fascinating. I asked if I could take pictures, and got their business card, then found them online later. Inquired if/how they deliver, and they do & can! And they can guide me as to all the equipment I'd need on the other end to receive such a huge, heavy piece of beautiful white marble art work, hopefully / potentially one day for my dad's, now my, house in Denver, in our backyard, as a heartfelt tribute to my dad & our journey here. Per Wikipedia, the white marble from this historic quarry has been used in Washington, D.C., for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (important to me, given my dad was a Vietnam Veteran, and my grandfather a WWII Veteran) and the Washington Monument. It's also been used in equally important cities to my dad & me: San Francisco and New York City. Absolutely loved meeting & chatting with Lynn & Vickie yesterday, as it was exactly what I needed, and the purpose for this mountain trip! To remind me of my roots, and to help me fall back in love with my home state of Colorado. I had so many questions for Vickie about how they carve marble into round, smooth shapes, and she invited me back to watch them make art in July. I can't wait to return next summer!”

“This is a delightful gallery with many fine examples of modern impressionism and some truly beautiful abstract art pieces. Marcel, the artist and owner, is a delightful and knowledgeable person. Even if you don't buy, it's worth walking through to look at his tremendous collection.”

“It is so much fun to go into the ROADSIDE GALLERY every week or so. There is always something new and different to catch your interest. The gallery manager, Debbi Faldi has quite an eye for finding new ways to present Martin Garfinkel's photographic work. His new images on SOPRIS are very inspiring. Martin has made the famous mountain come alive, photographing all her many moods and temperaments.”

“I love the unique and beautiful imports in this shop!! You have to slow down and take your time when walking throughout this store or you'll miss what you're looking for. Dave is very helpful and knowledgeable about all of the pieces. Can't wait to go back!!”
