I'll have to start with how amazingly comfortable Parker Stremmel made it when I inquired about a painting I was looking for. I have to emphasize "inquire" because how he treated me without thinking I would eventually purchase the painting was unintimidating, not judgmental, and even exceptionally cordial. This was all through a phone call and emails.
Understand that this painting was fairly in high demand, and he could easily just treat me as a "number". But he took the time to have a conversation about the artist, the artwork, and the expectations of what I was looking for BEFORE even having anything on hand for me to consider.
His email replies were always the same day or the day after.
With much appreciation and excitement, he was able to pull through with what I was looking for; and I became a lucky customer of Stremmel Gallery.
I look forward to working with Parker again in the future!

Beautiful space in the heart of midtown. The staff is great - super friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely worth a stop in to check out the latest showing.
It's a beautiful space, perfectly designed to enjoy various pieces of art. The layout of the exhibition space allows for a harmonious flow of visitors.
Lauren has been very helpful in our journey for very specific art. The gallery itself is modern, minimalist and classy. These are our first two purchases. We love them! They are by Maurice Nespor, the man who designed our house. How appropriate is that?
I got to meet Phyllis Shafer there. That is the only reason why I went. The other artists they were showing were nice. I'm always appreciative of places with art even though I can't afford any of it. 🙁
A nice space. Not too large but they have very tall walls for hanging larger scale works. When we were there they had two artists represented that I have not seen before. The works seemed high quality and the prices were on the medium to high side.
Clean, spare, quality art work for viewing and sale,and friendly staff. Original art sells between $500 and $18,000. Rarely are prints offered, but occasionally something special prompts such. In-house framing available, but most artists frame their own for display. Mostly paintings and sculpture. The building itself is a worthwhile view, having earned an architectural award upon completion. Lower level for viewing, upper level for private business. Hosts artist "meet and greets", new exhibition each month. Staff knowledgeable and helpful. Currently active and popular artists, both local and other. Small but not insignificant. No parking. In a mixed area of Reno.
Stremmel Gallery boasts of hosting the Coeur d' alene art auction which has netted over 230 million in the last 10 years. Given the notoriety of this event and the quality of work, we thought it would be wonderful to attend with grandchildren. Reno is after all working to develop a reputation as a family friendly art destination. What a shock to find out that this local gallery would charge $90 for a person to view the art. Apparently the millions made from buyer's premiums needs to be supplemented by exorbitant attendance fees that bar average local families from attending and perpetuate the belief that art is for the elite.
