I am grateful to October Gallery for first introducing Black art, on a large scale, to Philadelphia and to me. I am fortunate to have enjoyed many years of art in my home. Now that I’m downsizing, they were available to facilitate sharing my art with others.

I had great experience at the October Gallery Museum. Working with Mercer to find original and Limited edition artwork for my home. They have a wealth of knowledge and some amazing artwork, not just paintings, but sculptures and African artifacts and prints as well. I would advise anyone looking for great artwork to visit October Gallery.. I purchased artwork from Andrew Turner, Romare Bearden And Woodrow Nash as well as local artists.

Fabulous gallery, Mercer and Monica are the BEST! I picked up a couple beautiful prints, one showcasing Black Baby Boomers and one highlighting the World Champions Philadelphia Eagles! But my absolute favorite is Boys on Bikes!! Will definitely return!

Gracious Host
I’ve attended numerous events at October Gallery. Our Gracious Host, Mr. Mercer, fed us & sent us home with gifts. Mr. Mercer donated 200 paintings to Cheyney University. Provided transportation for us to attend Presentation. Sent us home with gifts! A fine Gentleman!

October Gallery connecting people with people.
Mercer from October Gallery invited us to an event they were sponsoring or supporting today, it was called AZ Heaven. I see October Gallery is still connecting people with people. It was a lovely event. And I got to see Mercer which I haven’t seen in a long time. Thank you, Mercer RedCross.

Exceptional Beings At The October Gallery Museum.
It’s been phenomenal working with The October Gallery Museum. They’re very professional, organized, respectful and highly informative. I would do a thousand events with them because of their professionalism and how exceptional of a job they did for Dr Martin Luther King.

From the moment I walked in the door, I felt welcomed and at home. Mercer took us through the rooms on the bottom floor of art from African artists ranging from Cameroon to Ghana to Togo and Benin. Then he guided us upstairs through decades of art, every single one with a story and personal knowledge of the artist and their work. I can't wait to go back and be immersed in those stories, and bring that life and inspiration home. Thanks for the time, and the gift bag!!

The absolute best!
The absolute best in the business. Certainly the best in this city. Gorgeous artwork and such a kind courteous and friendly staff with a wealth of knowledge in how to assist with your needs and choices. I'm a senior citizen and moved to a Senior facility, in the move 5 of my pieces were damaged, Mr. Mercer picked them up did the repair work and he and his associate came back and hung them for me. Everything looked like new! I will never forget their kindness and professionalism .
