We rented the space for a cocktail hour during our wedding. While the event staff was switching the Stockroom from ceremony set-up to reception set-up, our guests enjoyed cocktail hour downstairs at the Mahler Fine Art Gallery. It was spectacular! It was also extremely convenient, being just downstairs from the Stockroom. The only con is that there are no steps between the floors, all guests must use the elevator. So it did get a little backed up when everyone was to go back upstairs for the reception. It was not very expensive to rent this space and would even be perfect for a small wedding. There was a little bit of additional cost associated with red wine and a guest list over 75 people, but all in all it was a great deal. The staff was a little difficult to get in touch with because the gallery has limited hours, but honestly we didn’t need to get in touch with them hardly at all after we booked the space. Between the time we booked and the date of our wedding, the artwork did change so don’t fall in love with the art they have up when you book! They have a list of rules/regulations for your vendors — but nothing crazy or restrictive. They have a sound system that our DJ was easily able to coordinate with an iPod.

Don’t miss this little gallery smack in the middle of Fayetteville. It was an event that called my attention to it(and it makes a nice space for a modest gathering). But I wound up having as much fun checking out their art as I did the event’s art. Glad to know that on the First Friday rounds, this is a place worth stopping in on.

Small gallery with some really beautiful art. Mahler is much smaller than I would have expected, but has a truly well-done presentation. There are some outstanding mixed media art displayed in a simple, but effective way. The mix between oil and acrylic, mixed media, and sculpture-like pieces is amazing. There seems to be a progression from the bold, in-your-face, pieces near the front to the serene, more conventional as you move to the back. Anyone looking to add some original, fine art to his or her collection and who can afford to do so, should find Mahler a good place to start or end a search. And when you go, check out the mesmerizing eyes of the Louis St Lewis«Gabriel» in the back.
