The Design Gallery in downtown Burnsville is a beautiful space featuring an eclectic and interesting mix of art pieces, pottery, jewelry, and much more. The displays are put together with the collector in mind, although there is no stuffiness here, just fun and fine art that represents the best of the region. Owner Wendy Reid is knowledgeable about the artists and their work and accommodates customers' requests for gift wrapping, shipping, or other special considerations. Located in a historic depot building, visitors must take the time to visit the Design Gallery for gifts and pieces to appreciate in one's own home.

This gallery is first class, worthy of a trip to this small town in the mountains. Owner is knowledgeable about the artists she promotes and has a fine collection of wonderful art (in every media) from WNC artists.
