Arts, crafts and such

• Walsall Art Gallery, obviously, at the top of the town by the Wharf, quite hard to miss the thing. As far as crafts go, i believe there are a few shops in St. Pauls Cathedral next to the Bus Station.
• Make your own cobwebs in the Pink trout. Not the brown butt.Courses available.
• The Art Gallery in the centre is excellent & also offers some good views of Walsall.
• Hurray for the NEW ART GALLERY! At last, something to say Walsall has moved forwards and not backwards!
• TRY THE NEW EXITING ART GALLERY BY THE WARF
• Only been to the new art gallery once. It's a fascist foreign ministry apparently...Noddy Holder does the voice of the lift. Cool
• There's Gadsby's, but they're a bit pricey, try the works bookshop first

• There is a huge art gallery next to the wharf bar. It's an odd looking joint and some of the "exhibits" are, errr, well crap really. A pudding bowl with a stick in it is NOT ART people.
• theres a huge art gallery by the wharf 10 bar, jus to the left of woolworths
• art gallerie by the warfe 10 bar
• The Art Gallery is crap!
• Bilston has a great little art gallery / museum
• Walsall citezens 'ay' got the brain cells to view em!!! but the Atr gallery near the Wharf is quite good
• try the new art gallery meant 2 b ok

• Dunno why they chose walsall for a brand new gallery except we do have a pretty cool collection of work and the exhibitions are worth a visit,u un cultured youth of walsall should make an effort to visit,the place is pretty cool and it kills a couple of hrs even if u do only go in to look at nudes.lol.i think the place looks wicked too no matter what people say
• the hart gallerey
• ERM WE GOT A ART GALLERY WITH A MONET LOL
• The new Art mueseam. not everyones taste, but not bad tooty inside, if Lucky
• The award winning Walsall Art Gallory. Gadsbuys Art shop. Millagans Stationry supplys. (Where all my art stuff comes from)
• Arcana in the Quasar Centre is good and so is Hogar in The Crossing (that big church next to the space-station... oops bus-station)
• i like the craft shop its ok
• WELL AN ART GALLERY HAS NOW OPENED AT THE TOP OF PARK STREET NEXT TO WOOLWORTHS BUT THE ONLY WALSALL PEOPLE I KNOW WHO WANT TO GO TO THE ART GALLERY ARE MADE TO BY THEIR PARENTS OR TEACHERS.
• Now I like the gallery.....but I'm not from Walsall so I can appreciate fine art and culture.....
• WALSALLS IDEA OF ART IS NON EXISTANT. THEY ALL DRAW THE DOLE!
• ART GALLERY THAT IS COOL
• The art gallery is ok
• New Art Gallery is minted.
• Really chintzy set of tasteless craft and arty shops in a converted church by the new bus station. Beware, they are all owned by Christian god-botherers who will start talking to you about the Bible!!
• The new art gallery needs a mention (though I'm not sure why?!?)
• Walsall Art Gallery Is Good
• Art? Mmmmm Oh yes! The much debated New Art Gallery. It's very big, cost alot of money and doesn't appear to contain much. The Garmand - Ryan collection is no different to the way it was when it was in the Central Library. Well worth a visit though.
• Hogar in the Crossing - ask for Estela cos shes great.
• Can't wait to check out the new Art Gallery
• New Art Gallery opens Autumn 1999 courtesy of Squillions of National Lottery Spondoolicks

• New Art Gallery opening 1999

• THE CROSSING AT ST. PAUL'S, DARWALL STREET, HAS A NATIVE INDIAN SHOP AND A HANDICRAFTS SHOP
• That church type building, I think.
