Constance McKee: Great place to watch street performers and check out a lot of local art.
Tara Dîana: Watch your bag here. However, it's gorgeous and a lively place with local art, "magicians", and tarot/Palm readers for a fun New Orleans ambiance.
Lindsey Collins: Lots of artists, beautiful scenery, good for taking a fresh breath in NOLA
Rachael: Amazing, eclectic collection of New Orleans artists. Huge building & courtyard. It's nice that the vendors are offsite, so you feel like you're in a thrift shop.
Brandi Bruce: Great area to find good local art. They do a late night outdoor art market as well
Robert Bowling: Great Art, Awesome staff and an all around Amazing Experience.

Ian Harrison: Amazing piece of kinetic art by Yaacov Agam, the inventor of the style.
Andrew C: Wonderful piece of art and portrayed beautifully with symbolism to the stages of the Holocaust... sad many people don't stop and realize or even look at it, let alone read or pay tribute to it
Dane Deasy: Be sure to read the placard describing the sculpture before walking around it. The text made me appreciate it so much more. Powerful.

Ginger Loggins: The girls' bathroom graffitti is a great community art project!
OffBeat Magazine: Always have an excellent rotating display of local artists' works on the wall. The current (12/18/10) showing is particularly good. And as Dani said, don't mind Bill in the corner ;)
Dens: Great escape from Bourbon Street if you're in town for a bachelor party, etc. Quick coffee, some art on the walls, and far enough from the stench of last night's Bourbon Street regrets.

NOLA Nites Concierge | Meloney Smith: Michael Bauman’s mosaic mannequins at the Artists’ Market & Bead Shop... {{{AMAZING}}}
Mike Dillin: Very nice well merchandized art from several local artists. Nice people! Good prices.
Christin "X1" L: One of my favorite shops in the City. A lot of different local artist's pieces in one place, plus a huge bead shop. Prices are fair. They will ship large items, too.
