Have you ever had your breath taken away?  Have you ever stared at a sunset or a sleeping child and felt a lump in your throat?  True art has the ability to capture such moments with piercing clarity.  

The Art Shop invites you to experience an atmosphere that is warm, friendly, and inviting.  As one of North Carolina's largest and oldest fine art and framing galleries, we offer a century's worth of experiences, from our early beginning as a photography shop to the vibrant, award-winning art gallery that we are today.

Step into our gallery and we will introduce you to some of today's most renowned working artists through their art and the stories we share about them.  Or meet the artist in person when you attend one of the many artist exhibitions we host throughout the year.  Either way, we're confident that you will experience art in a new and more intimate way.
