Essential Art Gallery & Fine Gifts

I love this place! Mike is an extremely knowledgable gentleman, full of insight and praise about not only his products but his artists who design them with careful precision. It's a quintessential Main St gift shop that I hope lives a much longer life in downtown Moscow. Wonderful glassworks, craft wood tools, paintings, jewelry, chocolates, and much more fill this small space with lots of craftsmanship to appreciate.

It's like entering a gallery, and the gift shop you CAN afford! Wonderful, interesting art and glass work, with large fireplace tiles, earrings (at any price level @ $10 and up), some local items, some nationally known artists. I love the glass salmon and trout in action, in realistic poses.

Don't miss this shop! You will leave with a gift, maybe for yourself.

(Did I miss telling you about the incredible chocolates?)

High quality items in this lovely shop. Unique works from artists and crafts persons all over the northwest. Like visiting an art museum and yet the items are for sale!

Wonderful selection, great prices, excellent customer service-- you are made to feel like family! Always cheerful ambiance.

One of my favorite shops for finding truly special gifts.

Love their lemon lavender bark!

Great staff, great selection

Poor quality, and abrasive customer service. I’ve had 3 pairs of glass earrings, they all fell apart within a month, and I was unable to return them. Recently tried to return an unopened gift, and was met with insulting customer service...the artist is one of the more rude and abrasive people I’ve encountered in retail. I like to support local artists, but will never go here again. I suggest visiting only if you want poorly made “junk” gifts for someone you don’t want to spend much money on.
