First of all how can you not give five stars to a place so beautiful and wonderful, and free to…read morecome in and enjoy?? I grew up in socal but I never knew LA, other than Chinatown as a kid. I especially didn't know art, so today I was a pure tourist in this place, and wow. So much, from the wide openness when you come in, to the smells from Manuela, to the superbly mellow chickens. And then the enormous and gorgeous gallery (an expansive exhibit from the collection of Eileen Harris Norton). The only complaint I can muster is that the bookstore is too big, you need really to spend a whole nother trip just to look through it.

Hauser and Wirth museum complex is a fun place to visit and appreciate contemporary arts. They have…read moredifferent exhibitions at different galleries throughout the place. This complex also has a bookstore, garden and Manuela restaurant. It's a great place to hang out for a few hours. The exhibitions we saw on New Year's Day were fun. I liked the oil on linens cause I am drawn to bright colors. The sketch artworks from a 50s artist were interesting but not my thing. I would love to come here to see different arts from time to time though! Ps. Exhibitions are free, we always valet in the front.

Thank you Stay Gallery for your February Family Paint Day Event last week. The guided acrylic paint dau was so much fun. Please look them up! They have events posted on their website for a fun family day. They also host private events! There's a parking structure directly across the street. Enjoy the Downey mural on Downey Ave. painted by local artist depicting several Downey landmarks! So proud to be from this city for over 20 years.

Where Creativity Blooms Year-Round…read more Stay Gallery isn't just a gallery; it's a greenhouse where artistry and imagination sprout wings and take flight. From the moment you step in, it's like someone turned the color and creativity dials up to eleven. For the kiddos, the art classes aren't just afterschool activities; they're voyages into the land of the right-brain, where Picasso and Frida Kahlo would high-five them for their masterpieces. Teens and adults, fear not--you too can dip your brushes into the fountain of youth (or at least feel like it) in classes that might just reveal your inner Van Gogh. Local and emerging artists find a home here, a stage where their work doesn't just hang; it performs a ballet for your eyeballs. The exhibitions? They're not just shows; they're full-blown art revolutions, showcasing the freshest talent from the neighborhood and beyond. Stay Gallery is like the cool art teacher you always wished for--encouraging, inspiring, and never judging your wonky still-life sketches. Every season brings new classes, meaning there's always an excuse to keep coming back, whether it's to refine those brush strokes or just soak in some culture. So whether you're a budding artist or a seasoned connoisseur, Stay Gallery has the palette to paint your passion all kinds of happy. Now, go put on that smock and let the world see your true colors!

Love this place! It's been our go-to stop after happy hour at the Downey Promenade. We added this…read moreplace to our rounds after noticing the claw games, which we thought would be fun to play. It's great entertainment for our baby. As he has aged into a toddler, he now wants to participate which is awesome! The people who work here are incredible. They still remember when we started this routine and have shared in the various emotions we have gone through while playing the games--the ups when we win and the bummer moments when we think we won but the claw drops it short of the slot. It's such a wonderful environment, and the people who work here are friendly and kind. We definitely have a great time every time we visit. As for selection, they have made some changes to the store to include more merchandise and less claw games. The merchandise is great, and there are still enough claw games to play. Heads up: the claw games take the special tokens that you purchase at the back of the store. Overall, this place is amazing! Our little one loves it especially now that he can participate. Great memories have been made here for us. The first time my little one won is a memory I will always remember--just the pure joy is priceless!

BE WARNED DO NOT BUY POKEMON ETBS FROM HERE…read more Yesterday I came across this store with two of my friends and saw they were selling an ascending heroes etb. I decided to purchase it and when I got home and opened it the packed were visibly tampered with. A few packs had a thin silver line showing at the top and some had minor air pockets compared to major store bought packs. Not only that but each pack opened THE EXACT SAME WAY - easily pealed perfectly from the top and down the back middle seal. I paid $180 PLUS TAX so to say I'm disappointed is an understatement. I can't speak for their single packs but after this experience with the etb I'm never purchasing from here again. I stupidly said no to a receipt so I doubt I can ask for a refund now but be warned if u do buy Pokemon cards here BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

The Box is at the northernmost point of the hidden Chunk King road. It is definitely one of the…read morebest galleries in the Chinatown Arts District (CAD). Currently they are preparing for an installation which promises to be really cool. There were two guys setting up the installation and they let us in. They were not art snobs and that's a plus! The installation is comprised of interactive works of art. There are handles which you turn that makes the works of art come alive. This particular installation was pretty humorous in a provocative way in my opinion. The Box usually has very provocative art. Perhaps it is the gallery with the most controversial art in the whole CAD! The box has a pretty storefront. Parking nearby is $5 and up but if you are willing to walk a couple of blocks you can park for free in a little residential area to the north by Pho 87.
