I purchased an item and paid for it in person. I was told that the item would be brought to me in Toronto the next few days but it was not. I called to follow up and I was told the same thing but it still never came. I was also told if they could not get anyone to bring the item it would be mailed to me but after I paid and even after I called they told me it would save them some postage if someone brought it to me. It's been 2 weeks and they don't update you or send items to you as promised. I guess it was my own fault for being so trustworthy and paying first.

While wandering around we stumbled upon this small little alleyway just off the main shopping drag downtown. The owner of the shop was working by the doorway and inviting us in. We really had no idea what we were getting into but I can say that we were pleasantly surprised by what we found - amazing local art. The shop owner is also an artist and has some impressive pieces on display. Needless to say we didn't walk way empty handed. I would highly recommend dropping by. Thanks.
My daughter and I stumbled across Martello Alley while visiting Kingston. The setting is an amazing, enchanting, visual masterpiece! Don't miss it if you are visiting the area. I look forward to my next visit so I can pop in and see the alley and it's artists. A special thanks to David, who had the vision behind the wonder. He is incredibly talented at art, but also with the history of the people, places and things he loves :)

Transports you an art ally in Italy. Beautiful artwork and very helpful staff! So thankful that Kingston has a place that displays local artists for a reasonable price!
Excellent customer service and quick shipping! I love my prints and will be sure to shop here again. Thank you.
It was our pleasure Keli! Thank you for supporting our artists at Martello Alley!
It surely inspire more people to appreciate arts, like me. All i could say is has an amazing art and some type of abstracts on it and it makes me think and interpret things.

Lovely and quaint and full of delightful variety! The owner is so honest, genuine and kind. I love that he supports only local artists.
A must see whether a local or tourist!

Beautiful art, original gallery and excellent service. Will definitely recommend to family and friends
I bought by his net site. It was easy and I received a follow-up the same day for the pickup estimate. Sympa proprio and good expérience.
You just gotta love Dave's enthusiasm for the arts
Froid'art is a great idea. **************!
Last year we found it just out of the blue on one of our walks. David, the owner, was just in the process of setting up and he gave us a tour and filled us in on what his vision for the place would be. We stopped again this year and "wow" what a lovely place he has made it. I purchased something for my daughter's bedroom in her new house. I hope she likes it. She is sorting all her clothes out and putting things away. Here are some photos I took of Martello Alley. Anyone visiting Kingston needs to put this down as a "must see".
Wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review! I am pleased that we were able to help you find something for your daughter's bedroom. Also, my sincere apologies for replying so late. I think that review notifications have ended up in my spam folder. I will make an effort to check more often. Again, thanks so much! One thing though - you mentioned photos but I cannot see any. Please share them with us on our Facebook page. We would love to see them!
Shopping online for art is a breeze at Martello Alley! I highly recommend it. Or better yet, go to the gallery! It is a feast for the eyes.
David others were very helpful and David was very nice and flexible and took extra steps to help me with prints. The team is enthusiastic and the art appealing and worth the diversion. It was a fun visit and I look forward to the prints!

Hi Gabriela. I followed up with you. I sent another card to your address but you said it didn't arrive. Then I sent you a refund via eTransfer but you did not accept it. Also, you have not responded to my emails or phone calls. Unfortunately that is all I can do. Sorry.
UPDATE: It is 2022 and still no answer and no reply from you via email. I will copy and paste this into an email and send it to you. I have tried to send you a refund but you did not accept the eTransfer. Beyond that there is nothing I can do.
Great place to get lost for an hour or so. Very friendly! I would definitely recommend if you are looking for artwork or if you are just downtown for a stroll.
Brought a friend to look at art works. Great little place to visit and find art for home. Friendly place.
David went above and beyond as far as service. Would like to visit his gallery in person in the near future.
I loved the store and variety of art available. A great place to visit again! The service was awesome and they made the sending of my art very easy.
However, my art was wrinkled and a little crushed around the edges when it arrived. I think the envelope was too small and maybe could have used more cardboard(or thicker cardboard?)to protect it during shipping.
That was my only complaint.
Hi Sue. As you know, I sent you another print which you confirmed via email that it had arrived intact. Glad that this has been resolved to your satisfaction.
My wife and I were very pleased with the level of quality service during our decision making and purchasing process.
Thank you Bruce! I am very pleased that you are happy with your experience here at Martello Alley. My apologies, though, for the lateness of my response. Hope to see you again soon!
Thank you Deb! Oh, we ship worldwide, and we offer free local delivery in the Kingston area. If you live in Toronto, Ottawa or Montreal there is a possibility of free shipping too, but not expedited. We have friends and family who sometimes visit and we can work with that.
