What Visitors Say
"It’s beautifully presented and almost overwhelming with all the incredible art on display, we could have spent hours there. It’s by appointment only, which made it a really relaxing experience. Guy gave us space to explore but was always on hand to answer questions. We loved the philosophy behind ART ARK and their strong ethical values."

"I reached out to Guy about visiting the gallery, and he kindly welcomed us in, taught us about Aboriginal art, and told us about the artists and their work. There’s an incredible array of paintings, and Guy was very patient while we made our decision. Our paintings arrived in the U.S. before we did! Can’t recommend ART ARK enough for their ethics, professionalism, and the sheer quality of these artworks."
