Lots of choice including a virtual shop for those of you who would like to do so in the comfort of your home. Supports and follows recommended health guidelines. We strongly support this local shop Thank you David
I purchased an item and paid for it in person. I was told that the item would be brought to me in Toronto the next few days but it was not. I called to follow up and I was told the same thing but it still never came. I was also told if they could not get anyone to bring the item it would be mailed to me but after I paid and even after I called they told me it would save them some postage if someone brought it to me. It's been 2 weeks and they don't update you or send items to you as promised. I guess it was my own fault for being so trustworthy and paying first.

While wandering around we stumbled upon this small little alleyway just off the main shopping drag downtown. The owner of the shop was working by the doorway and inviting us in. We really had no idea what we were getting into but I can say that we were pleasantly surprised by what we found - amazing local art. The shop owner is also an artist and has some impressive pieces on display. Needless to say we didn't walk way empty handed. I would highly recommend dropping by. Thanks.
My daughter and I stumbled across Martello Alley while visiting Kingston. The setting is an amazing, enchanting, visual masterpiece! Don't miss it if you are visiting the area. I look forward to my next visit so I can pop in and see the alley and it's artists. A special thanks to David, who had the vision behind the wonder. He is incredibly talented at art, but also with the history of the people, places and things he loves :)

Last year we found it just out of the blue on one of our walks. David, the owner, was just in the process of setting up and he gave us a tour and filled us in on what his vision for the place would be. We stopped again this year and "wow" what a lovely place he has made it. I purchased something for my daughter's bedroom in her new house. I hope she likes it. She is sorting all her clothes out and putting things away. Here are some photos I took of Martello Alley. Anyone visiting Kingston needs to put this down as a "must see".
Wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review! I am pleased that we were able to help you find something for your daughter's bedroom. Also, my sincere apologies for replying so late. I think that review notifications have ended up in my spam folder. I will make an effort to check more often. Again, thanks so much! One thing though - you mentioned photos but I cannot see any. Please share them with us on our Facebook page. We would love to see them!
I loved the store and variety of art available. A great place to visit again! The service was awesome and they made the sending of my art very easy.
However, my art was wrinkled and a little crushed around the edges when it arrived. I think the envelope was too small and maybe could have used more cardboard(or thicker cardboard?)to protect it during shipping.
That was my only complaint.
Hi Sue. As you know, I sent you another print which you confirmed via email that it had arrived intact. Glad that this has been resolved to your satisfaction.
I experienced a lovely shop in an alley that reminded me of nineteenth century London. The owner showed me pieces that met my taste and was extremely informative about the artist. It is a pleasure to shop in Martello Alley and I plan to return when I am again in Kingston.
Thank you! I am pleased that people are enjoying the makeover of the alley. Please visit again soon!
A wonderful and not to be missed experience if you are visiting Kingston. The owner and staff we go out of their way to inform and explain the art on display and give tips on Kingston events and attractions.

Transports you an art ally in Italy. Beautiful artwork and very helpful staff! So thankful that Kingston has a place that displays local artists for a reasonable price!
Unique experience. David has done a wonderful job of making this alley to something special. We really enjoyed talking to him and meeting Alice who has some of her work on display there.

Thank you for the kind comments Michele! I really appreciate your warm feedback! Hope to see you again soon!
It surely inspire more people to appreciate arts, like me. All i could say is has an amazing art and some type of abstracts on it and it makes me think and interpret things.

Great place to get lost for an hour or so. Very friendly! I would definitely recommend if you are looking for artwork or if you are just downtown for a stroll.
This was a beautifully conceived hideaway of many treasures waiting to be dicovered. We will definitely be back to discouver another. The owners were very accomodating a truly great experience.
