Look no further for the perfect place to select the finishing touches for your home, office or…read moreanywhere you are wanting to make beautiful. Making beautiful home interiors is my profession and I always need help finishing up projects which is why I am so grateful to have Slate Gallery. Danielle and her partner Shelly are extremely knowledgeable about the artists they represent and they curate a beautiful collection. They are also able to source art from other galleries so when they don't have the exact thing a client wants they are able to pull from other local dealers. And not only that, they bring the art to my clients after they have spent time learning about what they want and where it is going to hang in the house. We have come to rely on them greatly here at LMB Interiors and our clients rave about their great service. I highly recommend.

About three weeks ago I received an invite on Facebook to attend the opening event of a photo…read moreexhibit by Philip Hennen at the Joyce Gordon Gallery. I have never met Mr. Hennen, but I was always impressed with his photos titled Mood City posted on that website in one of the groups I belong to. His main focus were the urban areas of Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco, which brought back memories of growing up in the area. I love his work, especially the ones of Oakland Chinatown and West Oakland. The Joyce Gordon Gallery is a well lit gallery in the downtown area of Oakland. The ambiance is a comfortable one without being pretentious. What an amazing gallery to have works of the African American artists on display. Indeed this gallery and Sanchez Contemporary (Uptown) are welcome sites to the City of Oakland. I usually don't head back to Oakland in the evening, but Mood City beckoned my husband and me to attend this event and to show support to a Facebook friend. The presentation of the photos was beautiful. I finally met Mr. Hennen through another Facebook friend, Vanessa Williams, who was also at the event. Much appreciation to this gentleman who was very pleasant and engaging in conversation with everybody attending this event. The minor drawback to this gallery is trying to find street parking in the area. Public transportation (AC or BART) is easier than driving around the block or blocks in search of a parking space. Then there is also a parking garage close by. When in the area, stop by this gallery and admire the works on display of local artists.

The main…read morespace itself is wheelchair accessible, but as for the single gender-neutral bathroom, I'm not so sure it'd be easy to get in there due to the angles and width of the doors, especially if your mobility equipment is wider than a typical doorframe. They have some nice artworks of black and African or African diaspora people on display right now. I came to the gallery as a part of an evening event in BlackSolidarityWeek and I appreciate that they allow this space to be used for such events and talks. It seems there's a lower level that requires stairs to access, did not get to see what was in there at the time.

Really, I must have passed by the window of this store a hundred times before, and although I had always found it interesting, I never had time to go inside. Until this past week, when I went to purchase my favorite bread at the artisan bakery on Third street; and, this time despite my usual busy on-the-run life style, instead of glancing with admiration through the next door's window, I finally went into the "Golden Moon Gallery". What a nice surprise! I found myself surrounded by beauty and good taste all around. The store setting is exquisitely designed and adorned by original art pieces made in different mediums and by artists from all over the United States. I was warmly greeted by Ellen, who along with her husband owns and runs the gallery. Being both artists themselves and familiar with contemporary quality art explained the reasons behind their beautiful taste and unique collection. I would try to explain more but I want to invite you all to visit this hidden gem gallery in person so you too will be able to enjoy discovering this place as much as I did. The window does not do it justice, you have to walk in and see it for yourselves. Enjoy! Whether or not you live in San Mateo, you must visit this store.

She was very helpful, knowledgeable, patient and explained the whole process from choosing a medium (interior vs exterior), adhesives, glass vs tiles, and teaching us how to grout our finished artwork. The price for this 2 day session ($80) is very reasonable compared to other places. If you were to buy (an 8x8 piece of colored glass is about $10 ea.) all the supplies yourself, it would cost way more than the fee for the class. It was nice to have all the supplies available for us to use. Also, if you were to do this at home you would definitely have a mess to clean up afterwards! My only suggestion is to have a simple, design ready before you attend class. That will help save a lot of time so you can focus on what colors you want to use. An overall great class...thanks Christine!
