"One of the most successful galleries in the country" astounding "the public with art by newly discovered artists and masterpieces by established artists." — American Art Collector


"Housed in a beautiful and quaint old red house, the gallery's charming appeal draws visitors from around the world to its doors. Once inside, the exciting and resplendent artwork beckons collectors to walk slowly through its warm and cozy interior to take in each and every painting along the way. It is no surprise then, that the Eastern Regional Exhibition was such a hugh success." — Oil Painters of America


"...Addison has introduced outstanding American artists, such as Rick Fleury and Paul Schulenburg, to collectors from coast to coast, in addition to bringing Olivier Suire Verley to the U.S. market." — American Art Collector


“The gallery of choice for a large number of collectors, as well as the home of some of the most sought-after artists on Cape Cod.” — Cape Arts Review


Editor's Choice Award: Fine Art Gallery

“This is the best gallery on the Cape.”     Linda Rahm


Helen, you set the standard for collecters' intra-personal relations. I always leave the Cape with fond memories of meeting with you and the broad range of "stuff" you have exhibited. Also, I always tell friends who are enroute to the Cape 'You have got to stop and see Helen! She won't harass you to buy something. She is just a warm and sharing person, and her gallery is fun!'

I think I have a fairly attuned sense about gallery standards dealing with three separate ones here in Dallas,TX, one in Salado, TX, one in Lafayette, LA, and one in Alexandria,VA, on a fairly regular basis.”      David Matthews


“Beautiful art, great people, wonderful space — It's so rare to find everything in one place. Even though I live in Boston, Addison Art Gallery is easily counted as one of my favoirite destinations to view art. As soon as I walk through the door, I feel like I'm home... an environment that is at once art-friendly and people-friendly. I feel very fortunate to have found a place that gets it so right.”     
Lisa Atkin


“I just love the Addison gallery, it's like a breath of fresh air.”     Diane Hunt


“Best gallery on the Cape.”     Carl Richards, Chatham


“This is a ‘Must-Visit’ gallery for all art collectors. My husband and I always find several pieces to admire and purchase at every visit. The variety and quality of work is exquisite. Over the years we have purchased landscapes, still-life and portraits from various painters that show work at Addison Art Gallery. Helen Addison has a real knack for finding the best talent, locally and internationally. We love working with Helen!”      
Eileen Debenham


“It is always a pleasure to come into visit. We love the welcoming atmosphere.”     
Dona and Chuck Spillane


“This is the best gallery!”      Hilary Fitzgerald


“For years, I have had a close association with the Addison Gallery in Orleans.... From the first day I walked into their gallery, I was impressed by the diverse range of artists and that the paintings on display change often, making the gallery an exciting place to visit since there always is something fresh and new going on there. Addison Gallery works hard to introduce the unconventional along with the classic, more traditional paintings, but I must say that even the traditional paintings seem to have an edge that makes them unique.

Addison Gallery, which is not a large gallery, manages to represent many talented Cape artists, such as the bold and gutsy Kim Kettler, whose eye popping color and sensual oysters make one swoon. There one also may find the works of Peter Kahlil, Joan Branacle and Odin Smith, all known for their incredibly lush and beautifully detailed Cape landscapes. The dreamy seascapes of Gavin Brooks usually are on prominent display at Addison's and they are so hauntingly beautiful that anyone needing restorative therapy should be required to view them! Also on display are prominent national artists including Logan Hagage whose reflective, ethereal paintings linger in the imagination long after one leaves the gallery.

The space at the Addison Gallery is warm and inviting where the visitor (whether serious collector or curious browser) is always made to feel welcome.... a gentle, unobtrusive way of letting one observe, roam and reflect on the art that they have carefully and purposefully selected for their gallery. When one is at Addison's, one never needs to rush or feel pressured to buy. The place is very "user friendly" ... only too happy to educate, accommodate and illuminate any and all of the work that is housed on the three levels of their charming studio.

As a collector of art, I always have loved the hunt. To walk through a gallery, viewing all the works on exhibit, then having that rare experience of finding a painting that moves me, by "speaking to my soul" is such a thrill. Since discovering the Addison Gallery two years ago, I've had the good fortune to find many special paintings that indeed speak to my soul. These works have since enriched my life not only by giving some lively punch or a bit of serenity to my rooms, but most especially by allowing me to view my world from another far more interesting perspective.”      — Cynthia Mohr


“Helen Addison combines an exceptional eye for spotting emerging talent with a gift for making her artists and collectors feel part of a special community”  
William Clyde King


“I have never left the gallery without a wish list of future purchases. Sometimes I leave with a "must have" painting under my arm. I look forward to every opening.”
Ginny Iannini


“Whether the subject matter is a Cape Cod landscape or a simple still life, AddisonArtGallery always presents a vital and vibrant group of work. Just as inviting are the openings, where artists and art lovers mingle in each room of the charming gallery. Each painting we have purchased is a treasure, not only because of its beauty, but because it reminds us of this wonderful group of artists that have become our friends.”   
Amy Ford


“Every show at Addison is outstanding, as are all their artists.”     Lois Zorawick


“Helen's gallery always looks fresh. When you enter, there's always an "oh wow", I love it! " surprise. She highlights each artist in the best possible light. From sculptures, to traditional, to edgier work, there's something for everyone at the gallery. The art is always beautifully displayed and her artists' events are part of the social fabric of Orleans.”    
Trish O'Connor


“Much to our delight, we discovered Addison Art Gallery in Orleans many years ago. The variety of artists that are represented at the gallery continue to keep us coming back for more! Helen has a talent for selecting talented new artists to mix with those who have become established names in the Cape art community. We especially look forward each year to the new season of art openings held at the gallery that allow us to get to know the artists on a personal level.”     
Henry and Stacia Talberth


“You must visit Addison Art for the most exciting, cutting-edge work. A required stop on the way to Provincetown.”    Anne Higginbottom, Docent, Cape Cod Museum of Art
