Discover local and global artistry at Go Native Gallery
Nestled in the heart of downtown Concord, New Hampshire, Go Native Gallery is a treasure trove of art and craftsmanship. Whether you're looking to add a statement piece to your home or simply want to experience the joy of art, this gallery has something special to offer.
One of the standout features of Go Native Gallery is its stunning collection of textiles from India. These vibrant and intricate pieces showcase the rich heritage of these crafts, with designs that will sweep you away. From pillows to apparel to tapestries, these textiles are a celebration of beauty and skill.
Upstairs, you’ll find an incredible assortment of hand-knotted rugs. During my gallery visit, I learned that there are two types of rugs on display—wool and silk. Both come in a wide variety of color, design, and size. (A tip from the gallery: If you are designing a new home, consider picking out a showstopper rug in the early planning process. This will allow the rest of the room design to easily fall into place.) The extraordinary art form of rug-making is sadly seeing a decline; many of India’s rug artists are aging out, without newcomers to pass along the art form to.
The gallery also proudly features works from many talented artists—mostly local. Wander through the gallery to browse paintings that capture the serene natural beauty of New England, or that can provide a “wow factor” pop of color to any space. This gallery is unique because it feels like taking a tour through a beautiful home; there are vignettes throughout the space—furniture paired with paintings, paired with decorative accessories and gleaming pottery—that could be transported directly to any room and feel right at home. The whole space feels warm and inviting, and offers artful ideas for anyone to use when decorating.
Go Native Gallery is Concord’s newest go-to shop for home decoration. But it’s also a great destination for art lovers who want to feel that spark of inspiration. Make sure you add this destination to your list when you next visit New Hampshire’s capital city.
