Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Chris EsparzaNew Orleans, LA14 contributionsThis visit and gallery will challenge (and inspire) the way you see things. It reminds us of the power of art... the power to move us, to change us. It's a warehouse converted into a gallery, including contemporary and interpretive art pieces and massive, spray-painted canvases that cause us to tip our heads back and hold the beauty and enormity of what they represent. And scattered throughout the space are messages, poems, lyrics that serve to inspire new visions, a re-imagination of what the world can be. If you find yourself in the neighborhood, note that the exterior buildings may not match your expectations of art or gallery... but the large murals in the area hint at what's inside this amazing space. I tell any visitor to put it at the top of there New Orleans to-do list.Written 16 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- James COklahoma City, OK110 contributionsDefinitely a must see gallery. His work is amazing and the prices aren't outrageous. We coul d have spent hours there.

- LA-Traveler70043New Orleans, LA311 contributionsGeorge Rodrigue Studios on Royal Street is great. If you are not familiar with his work, look it up. I have a couple of his artworks and if you want to see more, visit the Blue Dog Café in Lafayette, LA, awesome food and you see all his original works of the walls of the café.Written 17 March 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- on-the-road-againX2ontario33 contributionsWe vacationed in New Orleans for a week and a visit (strolling along Royal Street) to this art gallery was a highlight of our trip. The art work is very unique and charming. Carol
Siekkinen, the owner, is so lovely, friendly and kind; she even had a box of tissues on hand (for visitors, like me, who were so moved, got "emotional"). Readers take note: do yourselves a favor and place this inspirational art gallery high on your 'Things I must do in New Orleans' list!Written 12 April 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Jamie really took her time to understand what we were interested in.
Lots of reasonable priced local contemporary art to be found here.Written 5 January 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

You can stroll around the gallery and take your time. There are usually several artists presented so you have some variety to view. If you like to go to galleries you will like this one.Written 13 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- FahrvergnuegteSan Antonio, Texas151 contributionsFriends of ours, frequent customers of this elegant gallery, told us to check it out several years ago, although undoubtedly they knew we would likely never be able to effort buying one of these beautiful, colorful, New Orleans-themed paintings, besides would not have enough space in our house for them. But, we go back there every time we are in NOLA anyway just to enjoy looking at these fine works of art.Written 30 June 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ninafbaileySt Petersburg43 contributionsWe were wondering on our way to another shop, but were captivated by the artwork and jewelry in the windows of Sutton Galleries! Truth be told, we were taken by many high quality jewelry pieces and did not give the gallery its fair share of our time. Ryan, the salesperson, was fun and professional, and helped us narrow down our jewelry selection (It was hard to choose just one). We come to New Orleans annually so we will be back!Written 28 July 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ingrid56 contributionsTo think we almost missed this gem! We walked into a grocery store and commented on a cool sign over the register. The owner said, “Oh, that’s Dr. Bob’s. His gallery is around the corner. You should check it out”. It was such an experience. Dr. Bob even smiled for a picture…he’s not much of a smiler!Written 15 February 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Shelley L1 contributionGreat gallery space with wonderful photos and an engaging photographer. Worth the visit. Top quality work.Written 16 October 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Iza MAustin, TX47 contributionsI had no idea about this place! It was raining and cold so spur of the moment we jumped inside to get warm and enjoy the art. It was so exciting to see works from famous artists. No lines and you could get so close to the works of art. Everything from Picasso to Rembrandt! What a fabulous find. Highly suggest checking this place out. Curator was very personable and even came up and asked if we had any questions. I wanted pictures, but I was afraid to do it.

- SandBAtlantaAtlanta, GA1,159 contributionsFIrst, I love strolling up and down Magazine Street. Second, I love great art. What's different about Cole Pratt is that you will see art that you don't see in other galleries. They have a really nice variety of modern, contemporary, abstract art from local/regional artists ... many of them making their debut in the New Orleans art scene. The staff is friendly, courteous, professional and easy to talk to. No snobby attitudes here, just helpful and knowledgeable.Written 16 December 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Flying_DonkeysBirmingham, AL55 contributionsI am not by any means an “art person”, but I was in awe by the beauty of these pieces. The way the light interacted with the paintings and the almost 3D effect had me mesmerized. Claudia was so kind and educated on all the pieces, and was a pleasure to speak with.Written 18 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AngelaMayfield, KY69 contributionsThis was a great experience for everyone. There is lots of information about the life and history of Van Goth. It illustrates what was happening I. His life when each piece was made. The immersive part, allows you to sit and be surrounded like all the art as it moves from one artistic period to another. We skipped the make your own art but you should definitely pay the $5 for the virtual reality. It allows you to spend 11 minutes walking through the art of Van Gogh.Written 8 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- StephenCrossDublin, Ireland17,738 contributionsSo many antique shops in New Orleans and then there are even more based in the French Quarter. Its sometimes hard to figure out which have real high quality versus others. This felt like they had some real items.Written 15 February 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
