Bickett Gallery aims to bring New York to Raleigh's Five Points neighborhood, and they accomplish this task flawlessly. The decor is stylish modern and stylish, and the exhibits are displayed tastefully against cool white walls. In the boutique, section, they feature artwork, jewelry, and accessories from local and nationally recognized creators. They also have a bar (wine, beer, and liquor) that's probably one of the coolest and most relaxing places to drink in Raleigh-with free wireless Internet, to boot. When you add in musical performances and the deck are in back (great for having a drink, watching a band, or both), you can see why Bickett Gallery is exactly what Glenwood Raleigh's growing art scene needs. One note: follow their advice, and don't Mapquest/Google the directions; use the ones posted on the website.
