This place is magical. My first thought when I visited the Valley House Gallery was that I must have stumbled upon the secret garden. If you need to get away from the rest of the busy world this place just has that peaceful spiritual aura about it. If you are looking for a place for a photo shoot this place is perfect and free!

This was a great find… hidden in it’s own little paradise, the Valley House Gallery and Sculpture Garden is a great place to go view(and purchase) established artist as well as upcoming artist’s work. The gallery is small but had impressive works. What was amazing was the sculpture garden. Hidden in a wooded area with a picturesque pond are interesting sculpture pieces. I actually enjoyed the sculpture garden better than I did the Nasher.

I found them via a search engine, I frequent nature trails around DFW and take my kids along at times. I also am a serious hobbyist photographer… I have a great passion for nature. All I can say is this place is a little slice of heaven on a buttered piece of golden brown toast… I have been there twice during lunch one time was to walk around and take pictures, the next time was to view the art gallery… Incredible sums it up, you can tell that the owners care a great deal about the garden and the art gallery… Also after meeting Kevin I got the impression that he also cares a great deal about his customers… If I was considering or looking for Contemporary Art I would do business with Kevin as he lives his art in both form and function. I will be back until he gets tired of me… As I have different photographic techniques I want to practice on the stunning landscape. I also enjoy writing and this would be the perfect environment to connect with inspiration at all levels. One of my kids Samantha loves to draw, she to would like this environment and they encourage artist to work in the garden. So this weekend me and Samantha are going. If you think this review is just Hype look at the pictures above… You will be pleasantly surprised.

An art oasis! Kevin & Cheryl Vogel’s little paradise in North Dallas is well worth a trip, even for those who rarely leave the Arts District or the Design District to get their dose of fine art. First of all, it is situated on several beautiful wooded acres that serves as a backdrop to a beautifully landscaped sculpture garden. Secondly, it has a large show space with excellent lighting which has been recently expanded. Third, being on the scene for over half a century has translated into quite an ability to draw talented artists. When I was there, Gail Norfleet and Henry Finkelstein had shows on display. Fourth, the curators are very knowledgeable and can answer most any question. They have a good website too: I’m a big fan.
