Many times I’ve walked down Pleasant Street and passed by the State of the Art Gallery II (18 Pleasant St.).
Unfortunately, I have always been there at the wrong time to find the place open. Last Friday, however, I was at the right time – and I am very glad I was! They have an amazing selection of art for sale.

I can’t really afford to buy these works for now (parochial vicars don’t get paid that much) but it’s well worth the visit jut to look a these beautiful, truly “museum quality” works of art.
I had a nice chat with Roger Armstrong, the proprietor. They have another location on Rocky Neck. The gallery I visited is located more or less across the street from the Pleasant Street Tea Company, so the next time you visit one, maybe you can stop by the other…
