311 Gallery

My visit to 311 Art Gallery in Downtown Raleigh, North Carolina, was genuinely exceptional, accompanied by a compelling story. On that day, I had an underlying determination. I wanted to donate a piece of my mother's artwork to the gallery because it was a hobby I knew she loved.

I made my way downtown Raleigh, driven by an inner feeling that prompted me to act that early morning. Upon arriving at 311 Art Gallery, I was unaware of the entry fee to submit a piece of artwork for display. I explained to Kenneth, co-owner of the gallery, what I was trying to accomplish, and to my surprise, the entry fee was waived.

And so, weeks later, I waited until my mother visited the Raleigh area to surprise her with what I had done. I suggested that we visit 311 Art Gallery, and to her amazement, she discovered her painting among the displays. Witnessing her artwork being accepted and displayed in such a reputable gallery was an emotional moment, with her saying, “You have made my day.” It brought a new spark to her eyes. The surrealism she experienced has thus motivated her to continue exploring her artistic talents with renewed passion and enthusiasm, painting three pieces since the visit.

Overall, 311 Art Gallery's commitment to supporting artists and fostering creativity is commendable. This experience has left a lasting impact on my family, inspiring my mother to embrace her artistic voice and continue painting. It was honestly a transformative and memorable visit to the gallery.

Thank you, 311 Art Gallery

311 Gallery is my happy place. I make sure to stop through whenever I'm in the general vicinity. It has a great collection, and I'm happy to see the pieces I'm familiar with as well as anything new. Art appreciators should make sure to stop by here, and it's just down the road from CAM, a great modern art museum, too!

I found this gallery by accident when going for a walk downtown. What a JEWEL! So happy I discovered it. I will certainly be back!

I had one of the best art gallery viewing experience in a long while. The art works are very creative with works by both accomplished artists and fresh new comers. The gallery has variety of art works exhibited. Some works are very decorative and some are very collectable. Please stop by the gallery if you find yourself in Raleigh Downtown area.

The place was really quiet and many things to see! I really liked the vibes!

Beautiful Artwork welcoming staff, small but intimate.

I recently discovered this amazing little gallery in downtown Raleigh, right next to CAM and VAE. . There is a new and impressive gallery exhibit for each month in addition to several smaller rooms where the 12 resident Artists show their work. The gallery shows are all juried, and often represent Artists from all over the country. This is important to me because the works reflect a much more diverse range of Artists and styles than are typically seen in the triangle. The owners are warm and friendly and work hard to make the gallery the very best that it can be. Their prices range from quite low to moderately high. There is truly something here for everyone! I highly recommend this gallery to art patrons of all ages and stages of art appreciation.

Stopped by for first Fridays. Had some wonderful artwork on display. Gets a little crowded but overall a wonderful experience.

Great little art gallery to visit if you’re in town. Always good to support local artists!

First time being at an art gallery. It was pretty cool. I picked up a few art prints and cards.

Walked through Gallery 311 last Sunday, admiring artists' work and talent.
