Artwork & jewelry

Local Artwork & Jewelry

A corner of the shop is given over to work by artists and makers from around Troy and the Capital Region: small paintings and prints, handmade jewelry, and the occasional piece that defies a category. The selection changes with the seasons and with whoever has been busy in their studio.

Everything is chosen because we liked it, not because it matched the instruments. Come in, have a look, and ask about the person who made it.
