This art gallery is a wonderful discovery. Finally a 'over-the-hill-standard' gallery in the…read morevalley! I was stunned by the quality of the artists represented. Listed artists whose works hang in museums around the world! It is a hard to spot behind the trees that line the popular stretch of Ventura Boulevard. It sits on the south side of the street between Laurel Cyn & Coldwater Cyn, next to the famous 'Ivy' antiques center. The owner was lovely and chatted with us for a long time, no 'too-cool' frosty attitude here as usually given by galleries. From smaller drawings to huge paintings, photography and silkscreens, there's many beautiful pieces hanging on the walls!! I ended up buying a gorgeous painting and the owner actually drove it to my house and hung it for me! AND the frame was included in the price of the piece!!! Incredible service!!!!

My friend had a art painting in the La Galería Gitana's Intimate Moments Show. Tonight was the…read moreopening reception. I attended to support her creative endeavors. The gallery was much bigger inside than I initially figured from looking through windows. I wasn't sure if it was the correct place because there's plenty buildings in the vicinity. Parking was ample but scattered. Anyways, I met some really nice people not just artists. Also, all artists works showcased at the gallery were up for sale, unless otherwise noted. It was a wonderful soirée with a nice crowd turnout. Comfortable. Creative. Friendly with artists, intellectuals and local patrons.

As the premier and only real art gallery in the Northeast San Fernando Valley...this is as good as…read moreit gets. You guys & gals really need to visit this gallery. They have been open for a little over a year and almost exclusively showcase art from Valley based artist. They tend to rotate exhibitions every 1.5 months and kick off each new exhibit with a reception (wine + cheese). There tends to be a pretty diverse crowd from all over the LA metropolitan area. My favorite art exhibit so far has been the "Best of the Best of Mission College" which opened last Summer. Karen Nichols, the gallery curator/owner and former public school teacher, identified various art students from nearby Mission College to showcase their work. The exhibit included video installations and other contemporary pieces from up & coming local artist. Currently, the "Urban Places: The San Fernando Valley" runs through March 20,2010. Entrance to the gallery is free. There's sufficient street parking and various public lots behind the gallery and on First Street. The gallery is located behind the Coldstones Creamery.

They also have a lot of signing events, which is pretty cool! Really appreciate that they have a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff are super helpful and take time to chat with you and give solid recommendations. Been to other stores that feel very judgey and just want you out ASAP. Collector's Paradise is the complete opposite. Layout is nice and spacious giving room to browse. The sections by author took me a while to get used to. Good selection and I love that authors randomly drop in and sign copies (and the store sells them at face value).

Signed up for their book club cuz I WILL be back. Thanks for the positive experience!

We opted to get one of the blasters to shoot targets for things to move and hear. If it would have been a little less crowded when we got in it would have been better. Other visitors that we caught up to were pretty involved in themselves and made people wait for them to finish taking their pictures every 5 steps. The museum staff does try to regulate the amount of people but unfortunately they can't really go in and tell people to move it along. I think it maybe a little overpriced but it was fun and I like to support small businesses. When you're done with the museum the stores are fun to check out and they have all sorts of things if you're interested in horror movies and macabre things.
