The Leigh Gallery

I wanted to buy a nice painting for my newly remodeled bedroom. I am tired of cheap posters and my old pictures. To be honest, I bought my first new painting at this gallery. I thought it was going to be a small store from the outside. Once you enter, it goes way back and there is such a nice selection to choose from. Jean the owner was very nice, it was fun to shop around and talk with her, there was no pressure. I saw one painting that really caught my eye, the deep blue colors really pulled me in. She knows all her artist, some are local talent, while others are from other states and countries. The selection is fantastic, you can find something unique there for you home, it’s full of great talented one-​of-​a kind art work!

Leigh Gallery is a great example of how to make a wide selection of art accessible and fun to browse. Jean and her staff were friendly and patient. They know the artists and were able to provide back story, context, and general flavor which always makes art more interesting (to me, anyway).

I wanted some statement wall pieces for my apartment. However, I am not an artist, and know very little about art, and art galleries have intimidated me in the past. However, I came across The Leigh Gallery online, and some of the pieces really caught my eye. I read the reviews on Unilocal and google which encouraged me to check it out. I went to the gallery and the gallery owner, Jean, as well as Joe were very gracious and helpful. I had written down some pieces that I was interested in while browsing online, and Joe brought each piece out for me. They were both unintrusive, and very patient with me while I browsed and asked a ton of questions. I took a lot of time browsing, and didn’t feel rushed at all. Jean and Joe were wonderful, and I did not feel pressured to buy at all. They even suggested I go home and think about it if I wasn’t sure. I ended up buying three pieces of art! I can’t wait to put them up in my place!

Great pieces, great prices and the owner is always willing to chat.

It’s all about Jean, the owner.
She welcomed, engaged and joyfully tolerated me and how long I lingered at closing time without buying anything.
Jean knows her stuff, and her artists. This is a great place just to hang out, look, learn and listen.

I had a very positive experience this afternoon at Leigh Gallery. After admiring the pieces displayed in their windows for quite some time, I finally decided to stop in. The owner could not have been more welcoming and helpful.
I purchased a photograph by David Mayhew, which I look forward to hanging in my office come Monday morning! I will definitely return to Leigh Gallery if I have the opportunity to purchase additional artwork for my home or office.

This is one of the best galleries in the Lakeview. I just got home from the Art View trolley tour and one of the stops was this ecclectic gallery. If you have the time, stop by and check this place out.
There are wonderful sculpey sculptures by artist Dan Crowley and you can even get one custom done for you from your picture!

This is a nice gallery! It represents over 40 artists and they always have cool exhibits and shows. Until Christmas right now they have a funny gnome exhibit where you can look at and purchase statues, paintings and blown glass!
