Weems Gallery and Framing

I used to love Weems. Not so much since it sold & they moved. Part of it is that the founder is gone - sad, but by itself not a reason to mark them down, because change is inevitable. Why I mark this store down now is the way I was treated when I went in for the first time since COVID. The best descriptor is "with indifference", which was hurtful for this longtime customer. The clerks seemed more interested in relating to each other than with me, the customer. And in telling me that my several gift certificates collected during COVID (& not used then because I am high covid risk) would no longer be honored. Not done very sympathetically! Altogether a negative & disappointing experience. I told those who usually get me a Weems gift certificate not to do that in the future.

This is one of my favorite art galleries of all time. I live in Tucson and travel to Albuquerque a few times per year to visit family, so I have been going to Weems for years. I have bought many pieces of art from Weems.I find that Weems has great prices and a wide selection of really really good (great) artists. I have attended Artfest in the past and some of their great sales!I noticed that there were a couple of negative reviews due to staff. I have never experienced any problems and have always been totally delighted with everyone there.Now - Weems is a great place for GIFTS! If you are looking for something that is unique and not wanting to get your spouse something like a vacuum (just kidding) or an instapot (not kidding) that they will LOVE then this is the place.SO - what I have done in previous years is visit Weems with my spouse and see what they like...then snap a quick picture with my cell phone. Being out of state, I would then call into Weems when I get home. They would pull the piece, take it down the complex to the UPS store and next thing I know it is home! Major points for me!!Overall - this is a great place. I will continue to stop in a few times per year when I visit Albuquerque!!

i recently purchased some more art, the prices are right, the staff is absolutely amazing they go the extra mile to make sure you're taken care of very impressed with this business. I would without a doubt recommend this business if you like quality and great customer service. I would like to thank the staff for going above and beyond. Absolutely love my most recent purchase.

My mom suggested we visit Weems to see the new art work. They had a wide range of artistic styles from traditional southwest to modern works. In the back they had pottery. I'm a potter as a hobby and loved the different style of pieces. The real reason I am writing this review is the staff. They did a an excellent job of letting us know we they were available if we needed anything and giving us the space to enjoy the art work. Most people do not realize how delicate this balance is. Weems staff pulled it off. I hope their buyer continues to expand the variety of works. Next time I have out town guest I will be taking them to Weems to show off what Albuquerque has to offer. Thank you

If you have something you care about you should get it framed here. It's expensive, but you get what you pay for. We've had about 15 prints done here over the years and only one was done incorrectly. They fixed it immediately with no argument and when they finished it was perfect. They also have a really great selection of pottery and other items that are perfect for gifts.

I needed a unique gift that had local flavor for a wedding in the Bay Area. The staff was very helpful and helped me stay within my budget. The gift was great and hit the spot. Weems is now my number one go to place for gifts.

Extremely poor customer service. My Husband and I came to this store with the intention of purchasing a gift for a friend. Within minutes of browsing, a washed up, rude and wrinkled old woman dressed as if she came from the circus approached us yelling "you need to get out" over and over again. When I asked why and if we still needed to get out even if we were buying for a friend she said yes. Although the doors were open and people were in the gallery, she made a point to tell us to get out even though we were just shopping and minding our own business. No hello, no thank you for coming in, zero class. We had picked out a gift for our friend but unfortunately due to this woman's poor attitude toward us there was no way we were going to reward it with a purchase. We have frequented high end galleries across the country where they actually know what good service is and have something to be proud of and have never been treated as poorly as we were here. Weems needs to look at themselves and who they employ as their attitude towards customers is anything but first class.

Personal service from the staff framing the piece and great selection of framing options with a quality framingHighly recommend

I had an issue with this place (the frame shop), -- they did however resolve it professionally. They may need to train their staff on a few business/framing "must do's". I also feel there is a degree of complacency by senior staff and management, and may sub-consciously cater to specific zip code clientele.

Amazing customer service! Visiting from CA and the manager of the frame sho and the artistic guy (sorry I don't remember your name) were so incredibly helpful even tho they weren't going to frame my print there. They helped me find just exactly the matting I had been wanting. Just wanted to say how much I appreciated that! I will definitely be doing biz with these people in the future And that the owner showcases young undiscovered artists is awesome! If you want something truly unique and so reasonably priced for the quality of the workmanship - check out their collections. Highly recommend this biz!!!
