Raleigh Area Recreation - Shopping!
Experience some of the Raleigh/Chapel Hill area's (and world's) finest art and jewerly - in an easy to find location in Chapel Hill.
University Mall is an unassuming indoor shopping center. But enter this smallish mall with 50 shops, and you'll find some spectacular paintings, sculpture, blown glass, and more.

The Animation & Fine Art Galleries may not look extravagant from the outside.
But inside is one of the area's largest collections of original Picasso, Mattise, and more.
Animation & Fine Art Galleries sells only original artwork. Bring your checkbook - and you can bring home an original rendition of Cows, 1966 by Andy Warhol - for only $82,500. Or use the studio's layaway program to purchase the piece interest free with 10 equal payments.
Wander the showroom, and you'll find plenty to catch your eye.
Sculptures and paintings are carefully displayed - Miro, Masson, Chagall, Dali, and much more.
Animation is another specialty - there are original Disney and Warner pins, lithographs, and animation drawings.

The Turning Point Gallery is very impressive, inside and out.
Featured artists rotate almost monthly.
This month, Helena Fann has center stage, with vivid colors and animal prints superimposed onto women's figures.

A wide variety of art is displayed in the Turning Point Gallery, including original art created from pressed flowers by Julie Anne, 3D art by Ned Moulton, fused glass by Charlton Glass, raku by Joyce Furney, and much more.

Don't miss Minata!
Minata offers jewerly, glassware and accessories, much of which is designed exclusively for this shop. They've been in business since 1972, and continue to win awards.
Check out the art deco and art nouveau collections from Masriera - the delicate fairies, cranes, and flowers stand out.

Across from the Turning Point Gallery, you'll find Goldworks, which just won the 2008 award for best jewerly store in Chapel Hill.
The glass sculptures in the window may catch your eye, but Goldworks is a family owned business known for it's outstanding jewerly collection, created by local designers.

Goldworks offers an incredible selection of wedding rings by design, including a large hand-engraved selection by in-house designer Ken Weston.
Looking for color? Check out the selections of blue and yellow irradiated diamonds, brown diamonds, and pink and orange sapphires.
