The Night Owl also offers some delicious desserts made in house.

I came to find out about LHUCA through attending the First Friday art trail events in the area…read more Technically, the event is named after this place and has the gallery as its central focal point. The idea being to come stroll through the gallery, then work your way out onto the cordoned off streets and check out local art vendors and handmade goods before settling on beers and live music or performances somewhere along the way. This gallery always has a perfect assortment of displays running the gamut between peculiar to practical. I've seen some incredible handmade pottery mugs for sale, and some bizarre installations of another form of pottery: the toilet. It is, nevertheless, wonderful to have such a place in little ol' Lubbock. There are some beautiful large art pieces that hang on the walls making up the majority of the contents. Paintings, photography, mosaics. All sorts of media. Some for sale, albeit often at quite high prices, and many marked "NFS", or "Not For Sale". There's a very tiny little shop selling remnants of older installations, as well as "extras" made by some of the artists. It's quaint. A front desk has flyers and cards for the current and future exhibits. My favorite, they also have a pile of free stickers with the center name on them. Even in a time when retailers and restaurants struggle to keep staff, they always have plenty of attendants working the gallery to answer questions and shout at you if you dare touch the art. That's commendable and makes the experience all the more whole. It's been 7 years between the latest review and mine, but the place is still kickin' and worth visitin'!

Where do I want to go as my first stop during the first Friday art trail?…read more THE LHUCA OF COURSE. This building is one of my top favorite structures in Lubbock. It is very spacious and holds so many art appreciators all at once. It is the hub of the first friday art trail that happens every first friday of the month 6pm-9pm rain or shine! It is also open throughout the week to visit. During the first friday art trail they also serve beer and wine for a small cost. The Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts is an amazing addition to the sometimes known as boring Lubbock, Tx. It keeps the city excited about up and coming artists and their work. I love that our City has such an amazing establishment to enrich the locals.

I first met Marsha a few years ago when vacationing out west. She was painting a HUGE red poppy…read moreand took the time to visit with me there in her studio, offering me painting tips. I finally purchased my very first piece of fine art from her. It is a 2 ft by 3 ft metal print of "Poppy Dream." I have it in my living room, and it adds some energy to the space. It makes me happy when I come home and see it after a long work day, and it reminds me of vacationing out west in the good old days before COVID 19. When this is all over, my husband and I plan to take another trip, and I hope to revisit Marsha and her beautiful artwork at Fourth Avenue Fine Art.

What an awesome stop on my Route 66 trip! I heard about this place through word of mouth and I was…read moreso impressed I wanted to get this gallery on Yelp! Bob Lile is the owner and his dog, Lady works there as well. Don't forget to give her pets! Don't pet Bob though. He is really talented. It's such a cool space, it was one of my favorite stops along the way. I heard that he makes jewelry out of the Cadillac paint from Cadillac ranch. I had to see for myself because I couldn't imagine it. He showed me all around and he displays other artists Route 66 themed art as well. It's all amazing-I'll take one of each! He showed me what he does to make his jewelry. Gosh, it was fascinating I can't say enough nice things! I wish I had been able to chat longer but I was in a time crunch. I did buy a necklace and due to a tiny mix up I got the wrong necklace! So I'm sending it back and he's sending me the right one! That is really awesome customer service! His art is not cheap but it is reasonably priced! First of all it's an amazingly cool concept to create jewelry from the paint that's chipped off the cars. Second of all you're buying something that you'll have forever-if you don't lose it. Thirdly it's a conversation piece people are going to ask you about your jewelry because it's so unique and colorful. Fourthly it's a great souvenir it's better than a shot glass or a postcard or sticker.
