We are a locally owned gallery committed to showcasing the original fine art of local, regional, national, and international artists; while providing a tranquil and inspiring ambience, with comfortable seating and soft classical music, encouraging those who venture in…to stay awhile and enjoy the beauty of art.

Oils, watercolors, acrylics, drawings, photography, sculpture, jewelry, glass art, and Native American hand made pieces offer a truly eclectic mix of fine art. The First Friday of each month we showcase a new featured artist in the Balcony Gallerie with a reception from five-thirty to eight in the evening.

Sage Moon LLC, located in the heart of Charlottesville, Virginia's Downtown Historic District, has approximately 8200 square feet of space on three levels: the Main Salon, the Balcony Galerie, two Petite Galleries and a Mediterranean Courtyard.

Our online gallery has become very popular for shopping and affords the opportunity to peruse our inventory on a regular basis. We are always in the process of making our website even easier to navigate. Inventory changes often and we make every effort to keep the website updated, but it is impossible to accommodate all changes immediately. We are available to answer questions by phone or email.

Open seven days a week most of the year, we do have some shorter hours in the coldest months and close for severe inclement weather. We offer private appointments to assist folks in finding the perfect piece for their needs through on-site consultation and expert advice.

We believe the acquisition of art is similar to a personal relationship. It is important to be happy to see your art in the morning and still smiling when you see it before you retire. Fine Art, chosen carefully, will compliment your environment and nurture your soul.

Charlottesville, Virginia is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains approximately two hours south of Washington, D.C. The blending of yesterday, today, and tomorrow would be an accurate description of Charlottesville. New development surrounds the city and will provide opportunity for shopping and housing and yet, you will also find Ash Lawn, Monticello, and Montpelier; the very old blending into this new and projected development. But the Heart of Charlottesville is Historic Downtown, and in the center of Downtown you will find the Historic Mall.

Visit our bustling pedestrian mall and the surrounding area where you are likely to rub shoulders with the ghosts of Jefferson, Monroe, Madison, and many other historical figures as you wander the quaint streets and peruse the eclectic shops.

Charlottesville provides a small town atmosphere while offering some of the most remarkable arts and entertainment venues to be found in the area. Sage Moon is located between The Paramount, our beautifully restored theatre presenting stage and screen programs and featuring acclaimed artists, and The Pavilion, providing a musical venue of the best of the best! Coffee shops abound on the Downtown Mall. All this is complimented by a very tempting selection of places to dine. The availability of fine accommodations for an overnight or extended stay attracts many people to our area.
