First time to the gallery. Jill, the owner, was very welcoming and we had a pleasant conversation. Came to see W. Tucker's, I Made These Things For You exhibition which I highly recommend. The space is lovely with its old wood floors, but modern and so accommodating to display artworks on its long walls in separate areas of this old east Austin house. Hope to follow more of the gallery's showings now that I've had an opportunity to visit.

A keystone of the ATX Art Scene, recently celebrating 15 years, with proclamations from the City of Austin and the State of Texas! Jill’s astute curatorial eye produces astonishing dialogues between artists from Austin and beyond. Put grayDUCK openings on your calendar!

The space is rather loud on opening nights so I would like if there were postings around the gallery that told people to keep their voices down, because it was hard to hear my peers comment on the artwork and I had difficulty hearing the artist as well which was unfortunate. Otherwise, very small but nice space for independent studio artists looking to show their work. I enjoy seeing the different shows they put up.

I enjoyed my visit here and was pleasantly surprised to find a female artist exhibition. The interior of the building has been designed with good architecture in mind. The building is broken up into two main spaces that allows for video installations in the back. Newer technology was also used on a large flat screen for an additional video. This gallery has good natural light in the largest room. The gallery owner was in on Saturday evening. She was welcoming. This was my first visit and I would go back to view future exhibitions.

Comfortable & interesting place to go. Always a large, varied, enthused crowd. Fairly wide range in the art from one show to another, while generally "contemporary". Owners have saved a part of our history, rescuing an old house from replacement by huge, boxy, flat-faced condos. Our history - 99% of us: the normal bungalows & cottages most of us grew up in, familiar and easy on the eyes. If one of you is less into loud crowds (51-57% of Americans are more introvert than extrovert - like me), the DUCK has us covered. After viewing the art once, quietly slip through the glass side doors for a vivid contrast of Nature, Quiet, open sky, huge pecan tree, places to sit. After a few minutes recharging you might go in and be drawn back to that one piece.
