What people are saying

Trip Advisor


 
Mary Martin welcomes you to an experience of discovering artists who have been selected because of their unique creative work in a variety of media. Martin states: 
"We enjoy art of all genres; however, our desire is to feature painters and sculptors who forge new ground using their formidable talent. We are not interested in artists who seek to emulate other artists. 
 
In addition, we are an eclectic gallery and don't wish to be branded with just one style of work. We look for originality as well as beauty. We want the eyes, heart and soul, as well as the intellect to be stimulated, soothed, and excited." 
The gallery has attracted and maintained collectors for years because of the diversity of the excellent work carried and the quality of the professional artists represented. 
 
It is worth a trip to Charleston to see the exciting art displayed at Mary Martin Gallery.

 
What is great art?

It is whatever pleases you!  Speaks to you!  Means something to you! Intrigues you!
That is why everyone should have art that speaks to them in their home or office.

-Mary Martin

"The collector acquires artwork that speaks to them for any of a number of reasons.  I have enjoyed serving couples who must negotiate the delicate balance of which piece to acquire.  Given that it is one of the few things people will purchase that will stay with them for life I have found that it is wonderful when two individuals can agree and it is wonderful when each respects the other enough to celebrate the choice of the other person."  Mary Martin

"I believe that art has a moral responsibility, that it must pursue something higher than itself. Art must be a part of life. It must exist in the domain of the common man. It must be an enriching, ennobling and vital partner in the public pursuit of civilization. It should be a majestic presence in everyday life just as it was in the past." – Frederick Hart

Because we fully believe that each person or couple should choose the right art for them, we provide an interest-free payment plan for the occasion when a certain piece may just be out of reach. Mary Martin Gallery is able to arrange an interest free payment plan for you to fit your needs. This is only available on the full purchase price of an item and the terms can range from three months to two years. In the years that we have been offering this many of our clients have been able to develop their collections in ways that they had not previously thought possible.  Consult with us privately for the piece you love to construct the perfect arrangement for you.
