Of all the places we popped into during our first trip to New Orleans, this was one of our favorites!

I found so many cute things here for gifts and myself! I got myself the prettiest jellyfish earrings, a little frog on a mushroom print for my daughter, and a martini painted on a domino for my MIL. They really do have a little bit of everything!

Incredible co-op owned and run by artists, on the west end of the French market area. This is less flea market, more gallery + sale space for a wide variety of *original*mixed media art. Lots of textile/fibre work, wood sculptures, jewelry, paintings, prints, gold painting. The vibrant jewel-toned colour palette…

Very happy with our visit here, the staff were friendly. I would definitely come back here anytime I’m in New Orleans. I also loved the artist that painted on individual dominoes. Here you can find prints, wood art, paintings, metal art, domino art, magnets, jewelry, leather goods, etc. excellent variety of styles. Much of it New Orleans-themed.

Incredible co-op owned and run by artists, on the west end of the French market area. This is less flea market, more gallery + sale space for a wide variety of *original*mixed media art. Lots of textile/fibre work, wood sculptures, jewelry, paintings, prints, gold painting. The vibrant jewel-toned colour palette stands out. Not the place for inexpensive gift shopping if that's what you're looking for. Highly recommend going in anyway, it's a real treat.
