“This store, the owner Janine, and all the artists are amazing. I’ve been an artist here for almost a year now and every time I come in there are so many new and unique things. I always ended up buying something. Janine is so passionate about supporting artists and creativity- and it really shows throughout the store. This is a great place to support handmade and shop small.”

5926 Lincoln St, Detroit“Went at night when the tower light is visible. Unless you have a bright moon, it's better to go in the day when you can see the bridge more clearly; super cool! A little less taken care of in some areas, no usable restroom. Some sculptures are sharp and places are cement and rough; please keep in mind when enjoying the creative view!”
“Being from the suburbs, we've never had exposure to any place like this. We meet the owner and a few others. Conversation was engaging and the atmosphere was relaxed. We came during the day on bikes and had no concerns at all. Go there, you'll have a rich time.”
“Tremendous gallery space with so much going on within the community! Lovely shows and beautiful art all the time.Definitely a good place for a solo and family outing”
“Our favorite store for unique and fun gifts. Everyone is so kind and friendly. They're always very helpful and they gift wrap your items. It's always a very memorable and wonderful experience visiting the store.”
“One of my favorite shops in downtown Royal Oak! The owner, Sue, is so friendly and helpful. You can tell she puts a lot of thought into the products that are being offered. If you haven’t checked out this beautiful shop yet, you’re missing out!”
“Art + Frame is fantastic. I've gone to them for 4+ frames. My latest frame came out so beautiful and the owner was extremely patient while I picked out a frame and mat. He even broke down the cost of each item so I could understand how much the framing, matting, labor, etc. cost. Would absolutely recommend!”
“I love going to all the events; the Garden Party, the Halloween Party, etc. Make it a point to see the art shows! They always select some of the most beautiful and unique art pieces to showcase. See you there!”
“I love to browse and shop for unique Michigan and Royal Oak items! She has the cutest decor, clothing and yummy Michigan brand snacks. Colleen and staff are always helpful and friendly! Love her shop!”
“Mike and Julie took excellent care of me when I needed some framing done. They took the time to help me pick out the perfect mat and frame for my art and got it done for me in just a few days. Because they own the business, they really went out of their way to make my experience easy and enjoyable.”
“I've been driving by this store for over six years heading to work and always wanted to stop by. Finally had the extra time and wish I would stopped six years ago.
Tim was so inviting, he was very informative and friendly.
You can spend hours looking at all his things.
You now have a returning customer.”
“This small gallery in Ferndale, Michigan is quite the gem! They specialize in showing the work of local artists and every month they have an opening reception to show the newest work! It’s so much fun to attend! They also have a midmonth reception often accompanied with a poetry reading, and the announcement of the People’s choice winner award.
The art is always fantastic and sometimes quite intriguing!
I highly recommend repeated visits, especially if you looking for gifts for a loved ones or for yourself .”
“The collection they have is definitely something you want to see in person. I highly recommend coming here to find a gift. Thank you for the great deal and service!”
“I have gotten multiple custom frame jobs done here and they turn out absolutely stunning every time. They are very creative and turn the vision into an amazing work of art. Highly recommend!”
“What a great experience. We had 2 special projects for our boys Christmas presents and Eric created a masterpiece. We will only frame things here from now on. He offers suggestions and concepts that turn out great.”
“Bought 2 paintings at Umoja. I intend to buy more. International and local artists of exceptional skill fill the walls and walk around the space. You never know who you are going to run into.”
“They did a little arts and crafts day camp for the kids. My daughter who is very hard to please couldn't wait to go back every day. Will definitely send her again next year”
“A sick broken down looking factory style building on the outside. Inside a great space for concerts and other events. Saw tied down 2023 here and i will be coming back.”

715 E Milwaukee Ave, Detroit“Cool little club. Been there multiple times and always have a blast. Nice chill spot outside with a fire pit and a taco stand when they open it. Super easy to get to. They have all different kinds of bands play there.”
“My experience w/ PW have mostly been positive. I enjoy the art I've chosen. I'm looking forward to visiting some of their galleries in the future or attending a land event someday.When a frame on one of my art pieces had improper fit, my customer service experience was smooth, the piece was re-framed nicely and in the time they estimated.One downside is that if you attend a cruise auction the sales associates can sometimes be pretty pushy, and maybe they bend the truth a little to far in order to make a sale. With the telecasts, it's not that way. The concierges Ive worked with have always been gracious and helpful.I actually enjoy learning about the artists and types of art. I think perhaps PW needs to come out with a glossary of their art terminology because some folks seem to get confused with things like: graphic works, unique, original, limited edition, etc. I feel bad hearing about others experiences, when they're left feeling "scammed", but maybe a little education can help alleviate that. Side note: I have to stress the importance of reading the fine print of the auction agreements the associates give out!One minor detail. I'm not so sure any gallery should be conducting their own appraisals on the art they sell. Seems maybe like a bit "conflict of interest"? But maybe that's common practice, I'm only a casual observer.”
“This is a fun little market to find all kinds of gifts. There are all kinds of crafty items and handmade items, if that is your thing. I go to a lot of art markets and shows, and I don't often see anything "new". It is a good little shop if you need a gift for a coworker.”
