Ariodante Contemporary Crafts Gallery

I live in a city with lots of artists and crafts people and not a single gallery of fine contemporary crafts. It's a delight to find one as good as this one. Wonderful glassworks and ceramics. Fun paintings and mosaics. Lovely jewelry. I was so glad we passed by and then stopped to admire. Yes, I did succumb and make a small purchase. My family loves the copper or brass spoon by Suzanne Jeneau. Thank you.

I go to New Orleans every year, and this gallery is a "must stop" now. It isn't tacky stuff, it's all nicely curated with a wide range of items and prices.But my favorite part is the gallery operator, Dee Dee (she signs it DD). She is informed and charming and just a wonderful person to visit with

I loved this shop/gallery! All of the other reviews are from years ago, but don't let that stop you if you are looking for interesting art and crafts. I just wish I had taken pictures. There is such a wide variety of items covering every surface - including the bathroom! Great paintings and jewelry at reasonable prices and different styles. The owner was very friendly and helpful as well.

I was lucky enough to have some work I did with a local photographer featured here.This is a cozy gallery on Julia. They offer large pieces, if you are in the mood to really spend, but they offer smaller pieces for those of us on a budget. They are constantly having exhibitions featuring artists from all over city, as well as the country.The gallery features photography, sculpture and paintings.

What a unique shop. I loved the eclectic art and jewelry. The owner was so kind and connects with art community in such a great way. She definitely has a knack for gathering the local flavor and offering to shoppers. Last minute gift shopping- she is a she win! Thanks and I look forward to visiting the shop again.

This is a really lovely fine craft gallery on Julia St. I especially like to go the openings cause the work changes monthly. There are price ranges for every person so I feel like I can treat myself to something every now and then.

Great gallery, both in terms of what they have and how they offer it. I was really pleased with the hospitality they provided (we were there as tourists) and thought that the pieces there were very good. Since a gallery is a business, I want to give them 5+ stars for the atmosphere and demeanor. This is a great place, and I would suggest that anyone who can do so should become a patron.

Laura and Deyette truly know their craft and are passionate about making art accessible at multiple price points. Their shop is run with integrity and you can see the artisans are treated fairly. I look for business owners with integrity and long term relationships. Ariodante checks all the boxes. Over the past years, I've purchased numerous items from inexpensive to high end. With each purchase I've been treated as respected customer no matter the price point. If you like unique pieces from local artisans, this is a can't miss visit.
