Story

Martello Alley - An Artful Adventure

The labyrinth of alley-ways in downtown Kingston are like little adventures we can explore everyday - full of surprises, intrigue and history. A turn here, a stone wall there, secret little balconies with a view of a court yard or a sculpture quietly, humbly hanging above your head - these are all gems that are unique to Kingston! Well that alley-way adventure literally just got a lot more intriguing, and colourful!

We are excited to introduce you to "Martello Alley"!

When you venture down Martello Alley at 203 B Wellington Street, prepare to have a smile that only great art and creativity can create! Reminiscent of, and inspired by La Rue du Trésor in Québec this is an adventure with an wonderfully artistic ending!

We are an artist collective offering eclectic works that are sure to brighten any day. Selling original art work as well as prints, this is a space designed for any budget and any style/size of space.

Our work will adorn the walls of the alley tempting you further in to stroll the court yard; a work in progress that promises to be beautifully rich with local history and seasonal landscape design. Then wind up at the atelier where you will find a gallery and artists with their works in progress to welcome you at the end.

Drop by and see what's new, meet an artist and have a cup of coffee with us. We would love to meet you! Visit us at https://www.facebook.com/MartelloAlley to read up about our artists and what's happening at Martello Alley!

Thank you for shopping local and supporting Kingston arts!

Love the story behind Martello Alley and the nook of art they've added to the city! Stop by and have a look. ALL city alleys could use a bit of Martello.

Found this on Trip Advisor as I was looking for something to do before I was able to check into my hotel. There are signs for it and then you walk down an alley into a man-made area which is cute and looks like houses and there is a sitting area. The store itself isn't big but hold tons of prints and some original pieces of art. The owner was very friendly and nice and showed us some prints he thought we would like. I ended up getting a Tragically Hip print. Some pieces of art are only made into 100 copies and I was lucky enough to get #1. The corner has the print number on it. I would recommend this to anyone, whether they like art or not. The staff is friendly and it made the experience so much better.

I really enjoyed my visit to Martello alley, although I wont be returning. The owner was super over bearing and over explained his buissness, his art and his lack of returning local customers, and I know why. 
The general ambiance to the alley is NOT local. Its plastered with decorative signs and what I can only describe for lack of a better word as clutter. The gallery itself does not let you focus on the art work and has you wondering what's decor and what's for sale. The own and curator of the galley failed to inform me about ANY of his local artists merely talked about himself. Its set up and feels like a tourist attraction, not a local artist enclave. Martello alley is a interesting place to visit because you actually have a chance to speak with the artist who are represented there.
