They do a really good job at promoting, and working with great local artists from not only Tijuana, but the entire region as well. Which is awesome because there is so much talent in this city, it's great to be able to appreciate this. They have several exhibitions and workshops that focus on different art forms. Amazing guest speakers too. If this is something you would be interested in you should sign up to their newsletter, you'll get the skinny right away. Even though they've only been open for less than a year, they already left a huge imprint in the city. If you get the chance, and are in the area you should totally come here and kill some time. Keep Tijuana Artsy!

Puerto Nuevo Gallery is a colorful and fun stop for art and coffee lovers.

It was amazing to see some of the larger pieces and how much time and effort is put into making them. The barista and the gallery workers were all super friendly and informative. I did not expect quite a show for my coffee, but it was nice to see it being put together and the coffee ended up being REALLY good- hands down the best Mexican coffee I've ever had! I also ended up buying a small flower art piece as a souvenir. This was such a cute place and I'm definitely coming back the next time I'm in the area!

With its two-story open concept and brick walls, it has an urban yet elevated industrial vibe. I came here recently during Comic Con week and in addition to the modern pop art downstairs, I geeked out on the Marvel pieces upstairs. They featured the original comic books, time stone, orb, and a few life-sized Marvel super heroes. It was a treat and appropriate for Comic Con, of course! Can't wait to see which talented artists they'll feature at the gallery next.

I've been there a few times and finally decided to share my lovely experience with this art treasure located in Gaslamp.

We're often told great art speaks for itself...well, the art will speak for itself. You'll see a spectacular art selection being displayed on both levels (upper level is the solo exhibition) - the artwork captivating.

One last thing, don't forget to order an espresso drink too!

Desde su apertura ha llamado la atención de personas, tanto por la impresionante estructura del edificio como de lo que alberga por dentro. El propósito de este centro es promover el arte entre adultos, jóvenes y niños, para lograr esto el centro cuenta con algunas exposiciones permanente al igual que exposiciones que cambian con temporadas. Algo que descubrí cuando vine aquí y que me gusto mucho es que ofrecen cursos dedicados para la educación del arte. El programa tiene tres niveles. El primero es introducción a las artes. Este programa cuenta con diferentes actividades progresivas que van mas dirigidas hacia jóvenes y niños. El segundo es un taller de creaciones, dirigido hacia jóvenes. El tercero es un curso de profesionalización. Este curso es el mas intensivo y va dirigido a estudiantes que les interese convertirse en docentes. Vale la pena venir aquí, las exposiciones son de lo mejor y el estacionamiento es amplio y gratis.
