Quirks of Art

Rediscover quality...buy handmade! Originally opened in 1997 as Kinks, Quirks & Caffeine, our store was an instant hit among locals. It was surely refreshing to have such a FUNky store in the midst of the colonialism of Williamsburg, VA. In its early years, the store was credited in helping Williamsburg obtain the honor of being named a "Top 25 Arts Destination" by American Style Magazine. It was also named "Williamsburg's Best Art Gallery" in its first year of operation. Since then we have gratefully accepted many honors and accolades. We are regularly voted as one of "Williamsburg's Best" Gift Shops and Art Galleries. In 2011, we were 'reborn' as Quirks of Art...where almost everything we sell is "passionately handmade" in America. We are so proud to represent such amazing and talented artists...there have probably been a thousand through the years! Unique handcrafted works from over 400 artisans from throughout the United States and Canada are on display. Owner Jennifer Raines scours the country in search of new artists and thoughtfully handpicks each item. She notes that most pieces are handmade and many are one-of-a-kind. The store offers a wide selection of handmade jewelry, pottery, hand painted glass, David Marsh and Sticks furniture, local art, and clothing.
