Art Galleries in Lawrence, KS

“In short : This is the Greatest Store in the Universe.

Full review: More than an art supply store, more than a gift store, more than a gallery - this store offers an experience unmatched. A highly curated offering of everyday objects and niche oddities, you’ll spend more time actively engaging with the wares here than you’d ever expect. Along with bona fide magic in the shape of the Haunted Bathroom and local celebrity ‘Dave’, you’ll have a unique experience every time you step inside. This is what a shop run by artists and a collective community of creatives can bring and it’s worth more stars than Google allows. From the staff, to the store. This is the greatest store in the universe.

PS: real ones know to visit their satellite store around the corner for an even more novel experience.”

“Cider Gallery is one of the dreamiest, most beautiful spots in Lawrence, and simply PERFECT for a wedding! My husband and I got married here in April, and the whole process was just as smooth as it could be. Jennifer is a treasure, and so wonderful to work with. She walked us through every single detail, with relevant suggestions and considerations for our budget. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces are stunning; we ended up going very simple with décor and florals in order to highlight the innate beauty of the space.

All the staff at Cider are MVPs. Attentive, professional, seamless service. We're so lucky to have this jewel of a venue in Lawrence! If you're considering booking your wedding here, DO IT!”

“After watching a segment on The Effing Candle Co on the news, I reached out to the proprietor. I wanted to know if the candles were available in larryville. Lo and behold! They are!!!! AND they're at the Phoenix gallery! So I meet bff there and we walk around the upstairs which is full of incredibly beautiful artisan pieces. Handmade jewelry, wood items, pens, paintings, glassware, pottery, etc. Just one gorgeous item after another and they're reasonably priced! The effing candles ? are downstairs in the "underground Phoenix ". I found one I liked and bought it! There are other items down here just as unique as their upstairs counterparts. I love coming to this store as it has things not found anywhere else plus handmade! If you're looking for something special, there's a 100% chance you'll find it here. Very lucky larryville has this place! ❤️”

“The arts center has something for everyone, just about every day of the week. From classes on just about anything, to rotating exhibitions, the LAC is truly a gem of Lawrence. Get tickets for a show, you don't want to miss the performers here either!”
