What a great gallery/shop tucked away near the University of Akron in whimsically decorated houses! Ive lived in the Akron area for most of my life and cant believe Ive never made it here before. Its a great place to browse and/or find a unique gift! I cant wait to take our out of town visitors to see it once the pandemic is over so we can browse in a more relaxed fashion.

This is a great local Akron art studio. It is a bit expensive, but when you want unique artwork, that is what you should expect. They do have small pieces that are not that expensive. They also offer free gift wrapping, which is a plus. The sales associates are all very friendly and helpful. This is a great place to purchase a nice unique item.

I’ve been coming here since I was young. Beautiful creative and timeless pieces that make great gifts for loved ones. (The newlyweds love their candle stick holder)

This is a wonderful place to browse in a gallery setting. Drumm’s work is prolific and world-renowned. There is so much to take in visually it is astonishing. This is a wonderful place to shop for any occasion because the artwork is often purposeful ( they have candelabras, menorahs, kitchen ware that is as useful as it is collectible, key chains, key holders, decorative wall art that is museum quality of every size and shape imaginable). Each room is a treasure trove for the senses and delights people of every age and background. The staff is always helpful and knowledgeable. Allow lots of time to browse every nook and cranny of each room it’s so worth your time.

Amazing gallery! So glad theyre open. They are taking precautions to insure you have a healthy visit. I could literally spend all day there and not see everything. I never leave empty handed either!

Their artwork is indeed unique. If you are gifted with a piece and its not your thing, you are greeted with a curt go sell it on ebay. Not exactly what I would expect from a reputable dealer in fine art. Ebay prices would indicate that their art does NOT have anywhere near the street value that they sell for. By all means look here, but then go buy what you want on ebay.

Wow, what a special place! Having not been to Akron in 20 yrs, I was not aware that EVERYONE knows of this gem. If you have a couple spare hours go there, your head will spin looking and admiring each and every corner of the complex.

Beautiful artwork for indoor and outdoor. Also showcases other artists and Craftsman items including one of a kind jewelry. So much selection from affordable items under$100 to very expensive one of a kind signature pieces. Close to the university of Akron.

Beautiful and amazing gallery with a wide range of handmade art. The price range is great for anyone on a budget to spending more on a one of a kind art piece. Definitely wish I had more time to look around! Also, the staff was so very helpful and did a gorgeous job of gift wrapping an item for my mother for Mothers Day. Will definitely be visiting again!

Quaint, eclectic art gallery situated close to the University of Akron. Drumm is a local institution, working primarily in cast aluminum. The gallery showcases Drumms work, but includes an extensive selection of other artists as well.

If you ever need a housewarming or wedding gift, this is the perfect place. Don Drumm is a local legend known for his unique style of metal art. Youll understand why once you visit.There are actually two stores: One that primarily sells Drumms own work and a select few other artists, and a gift shop that sells assorted types of items. There are also items on display outdoors in the patio area between the buildings. If youre in the area, its well worth the trip.

An Akron treasure, Mr Drumm owns most of the block and has dedicated it to his unique art and that of other artists, local and otherwise. The main building is crammed with various art pieces, plus theres another gallery/gift shop and a church turned glass blowing studio caddy corner. A lot to see and art ranging from $5 to $4000.+

Gorgeous original art. Stainless steel pieces for your home that are just breathtaking. Their offering of earrings is unparalleled—youll find things at many price points. This is the perfect place to find special gifts, or something nice for your collection. The outdoor area is so lovely just to sit and be for a while.

I have been around the works of Don Drumm literally all my life growing up in Akron. This week I finally purchased my first peice of DD artwork for my study and I am so excited. Large sunburst, to light covers, bowls, decorative plates and stands for my home. Truly a fan, and the staff was wonderful and accomodating. Ill certainly be back for more treasures of Akron and DD.

The studio and gallery is amazing so many pieces of art you hardly know where to look first. The yard art is absolutely beyond words to describe these artists truly have an eye for creative. We only get back to Akron every few years, but this year it was at the top of my list of places to visit. I did purchase a few items made by Leona Bowser, sun catchers are her specialty among other items like jewelry.

This was my first visit and, WOW!! So much to see and experience. The art work available for sale, is so beautiful and diverse. There is a little secret garden with many whimsical art pieces for your own garden. You may even get a chance to meet Don Drumm.You must visit Don Drumm Studio in Middlebury, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Akron.

This is a great local artist. His style isnt really for me, but he definitely has a ton of neat work. There is also other artwork mixed into part of the gift shop. The only thing I would change is the setup of the shop - its almost divided into two former houses, and its a little confusing on where to go. However, I like that they are using existing structures in Akron.

The gallery is stunning and a fantastic place to find unique gifts. The only reason I put 4 stars is because it can be very difficult to find parking if the store is busy. The gallery itself is also very tiny, which is hard to navigate if there are lots of people there.
