Milton Studio Art Gallery

Whenever we are in town for VIR, a stop at this gallery is mandatory. Unlike many others, this gallery reps a wide array of media and artists. Here, one can find charming hand-​painted, up-​cycled wooden vessels; well-​wrought laser-​cut metal wall-​sculptures that convey dimensionality even though they are just 2-​D (still want that 1964 Mustang that looks like it is going to drive off of the wall); and skillfully painted oils and water colors.
The common denominators are two: All of the work is local and the owner, Shirley, personally selects the artists. Shirley is a
former art teacher and an artist in her own right. Indeed, some of her work hangs in the gallery. Shirley drips with southern charm and hospitality as she cheerfully discusses a piece or artist. No hushed tones or pretentiousness here.
Although the gallery’s posted hours are limited, Shirley welcomes guests by appointment. All you have to do is ring her up.
