Eisele Gallery

One of the top galleries in the city with a good mix of antique (dead) and contemporary painters (living). Much of the work is top notch and filled with some of the heavy hitters of Cincinnati's deep art history. The owner Doug also runs a restoration business so all of the antique work is in good condition. It is located in a very nice old building lovely appointed and well lit. They have their own lot so parking is a breeze.They have of late been hosting other exciting arts events like Portrait of a Soul and the Oil Painters of America. The staff is very friendly and very helpful if you have any questions about the art or the artists shown in the gallery. At openings they always have wine and delicious hors d'oeuvres. At large events in the summer it can get warm in the gallery if there is a large crowd mixing with all the painting lights and a struggling AC.

One of the best kept secrets in Cincinnati art world! I LOVED discovering this gallery!! I went to the opening night of the Paul Bourginon (sp?) exhibit - mid century modern originals. SHOCKED at the size of the crowd! Went back for the talk by the woman who represents these works, really well done!!! AND THEN... while strolling around... found their amazing jewelry store, restoration business and an artist in residence that was willing to chat it up!! It was a great way to spend a Saturday.
