I wish I could give 10 stars!!!!…read more Recently, I had my first art gallery exhibit experience with my Calla Lilies painting hanging up at the Gallery of Hermosa!! The exhibit was called "May Flowers". I am honored I was part of the May Flowers exhibit and will continue to be featured in future gallery exhibits. Gallery of Hermosa has a different rotating exhibit theme every month. It gives artists like myself a chance to create diverse topic of pieces. For example, the next theme for the upcoming exhibit is "Game on". The opening exhibit party will be held on June 7th, 5-8pm! The "Game on" exhibit will be running from June 7th-23rd. I love the peaceful environment Gallery of Hermosa has to offer. The gallery has a clean open space to walk around and look at artwork made by various artists local and nationally. Gallery of Hermosa is located right in the heart of Hermosa Beach. The location is perfect especially if you want to look at the view down the street of Hermosa beach pier and the ocean. With me being a resident of the South Bay for over 20 years, I am happy Gallery of Hermosa exists and I know they will do well! Cheers to Kimie for making this beautiful art gallery happen!!

What a wonderful new addition to the South Bay! A perfect art gallery on Pier Ave. I went in to…read moresee their opening collection (floral-themed for May but the owner said it's changing monthly - always rotating exhibits featuring local & national artists --- intriguingly the theme is "Game On" for June). There was an excellent array of very different artists, materials and styles represented at a range of price points. I wasnt buying this time but there was no pressure and I could browse to my hearts content. Would recommend to artists and collectors but also anyone looking to just appreciate art. For artists they also do Sunday sketch classes which I thought was cool. They are on instagram (@galleryofhermosa) for upcoming info if you don't live nearby.

It was fun to have a glass of wine ( provided by the gallery) and talk to other people interested in art. Art is very subjective. Hopefully, I will have $$$ to buy something from my favorite artist/painter. They offer classes to let our your inner artists. They sell painting from local artists. Since I was driving to LA to check out art galleries, I decided to stay local. The space is not big as you can see from my pictures. Parking; There is free street parking. FYI, I came during the weekend. Overall, it is nice to support local artists. But, art is very subjective.

It displays art from local artists as well as renowned painters and photographers.

Went to Fiesta Hermosa yesterday afternoon mainly to catch Pine Mountain Logs and ended up staying…read morefor hours. It really is one of those classic South Bay events that feels like the unofficial kickoff to summer. The entire downtown area of Hermosa Beach turns into a huge street fair with live music, food, drinks, carnival rides, artists, and hundreds of vendors spread throughout the closed streets. There were families everywhere, groups of friends hanging out in the beer garden, people walking around with dogs, and just a really fun community vibe overall. Pine Mountain Logs were great live and the Garden area had a relaxed energy with music going most of the afternoon. The vendor mix was exactly what you would expect from a big festival like this. Some really cool local makers and artists mixed in with a little random street fair chaos, which honestly is part of the charm. You can grab food from local Hermosa spots or festival booths, stop for a drink, wander the Makers Mercado, listen to music at different stages, or just people-watch for a few hours. It is busy, loud, and crowded in the best possible way. Really impressive that this has been going for more than 50 years. Events like this are part of what makes Hermosa feel like Hermosa. 5 stars

I would call this a hidden gem in Torrance. I had heard about it, but finally decided to visit…read more Best part, it's free. No charge. It's located in the civic center, in the back, so you can't see it off of the street. It's almost a game of hide and seek, where you need to find it. Even when I did finally find it, I wasn't sure I was at the right place or if it was even open. However, I was not disappointed when I finally walked inside. It's a teeny place. More like a gallery than what I would call a museum. Open floor plan. Great art though. An eclectic collection of paintings and mixed media when I visited. There were a couple other parties viewing the artwork. Not crowded. Parking: Free lot.

I frequent Santa Ana's and Los Angeles' Art Walk so I was kind of expecting something similar. Reading all the reviews from years ago made it seem like a lot larger and more organized. There were stalls set up few and far between. Hard to know where it started, ended, are we even there yet? Did we miss some? Where the heck is all the art work!? We even downloaded the phone app and it didn't help. Venice, your Art Crawl is lacking but has SO much potential. I'm hoping that you'll make it a priority and hoping I can re-visit and update my review.

I do appreciate art. The space is small, but i was expecting more exhibits. Since the visit was timed, it was nice not having to rush while taking fun selfies and welfies. The caviar tin can ball pit felt a little dirty which was expected. Note: it is a little challenging (and comical) getting out of that ball pit! Staff member was really friendly. The exhibit ends at Del Amo mall soon and is moving to another location.

I received a 20% off coupon - $98 for us 6 ( $17 each, 2 adults, $13, each 4 kids) It's an experience to be had but I don't think it's worth the price we paid . It's a small venue , good to take a few pictures for memories and not much else.. My kids all mentioned how short this visit were for them and they expect to see more art pieces.
