Discover the Beauty of Local Art at the Mohawk Valley Art Shoppe in Schenectady
Have you ever walked into an art gallery and marveled at the stunning work that adorned the walls? What if you could take some of that beauty home with you while also supporting a charity organization? At the Mohawk Valley Art Shoppe in Schenectady, you can do just that.
When owner Devery Gara opened her State Street shop in June, she had a vision in mind. Not only did she want to showcase the talent of local artists, but she also wanted to give back to the community. That’s why 30% of every purchase goes to charity organization Things Of My Very Own.
Gara’s passion for art dates back to her childhood, inspired by her father’s fine attention to detail in his wood-working. She offers a variety of paint options, including her favorite brand Trekell, and also hosts classes at the shop. But the Mohawk Valley Art Shoppe is more than just a store for buying art supplies – it’s a welcoming space where artists can come to be inspired and create.
Nestled in the historic Stockade neighborhood, Gara feels fortunate to have found the perfect spot for her shop. Despite some initial road work and sidewalk disruptions, customers have still managed to find their way in to admire and purchase the beautiful artwork on display.
