I suggest everyone check out this studio, they have a lot to offer in store and the people there are really awesome humans. Thank you again for the amazing work!!!

She had heard of this gallery from years ago. Apparently they had moved to a new location. And then into a smaller space in this location than they had been in. Who knew?? It was close to 6pm and she heard someone talking to the (?) owners inside. They apparently weren't sympathetic that this guy didn't know exactly what their business was, as they were once an art gallery, but now full of antiques or something. And they made sure he knew they were ABOUT TO CLOSE! Well my friend and I certainly aren't going to visit them. And who chases out a potential customer at the beginning of a 1st Thursday where there is an ART WALK SPONSORED BY THE CHAMBER!!!!!????

The "25th Street Mural Project" is the brainchild of artist Julie Bender (not her first mural in the area but one of the largest). Nearing completion, it's evolved into what appears to be a labor of love for the artist, working volunteers, and the entire community. After reading about the project for months in local newspapers, I had to go see it yesterday. All at once it's spectacular, heartwarming, and informative. Spectacular in concept & creation. Heartwarming because it's adorned with local residents' personalized, hand-decorated tiles. Informative, displaying San Pedro's very rich history as well as historic landmarks & attractions. The mural is on a retaining wall that runs along 25th Street (can't miss it). The lengthy process of obtaining permissions, amending an ordinance, securing permits & funding, is explained in detail on the artist's website. The planning & prep for the mural, followed by placement of custom tiles along with donated random glass & ceramics, etc. began over a year ago according to a volunteer I was fortunate to encounter during my visit. LynnDee told me all about the tile-making process, the use of colors, the layout & design, and more. Certainly no small challenge, but so worth everyone's efforts. Soon, she said, the sky will be added. Then grout will be applied which should make the artistry pop even more than it does now. I regret that I didn't get around to taking advantage of the "make your own tile" opportunity, which has ended. Although I don't live in San Pedro I certainly do appreciate the city's unique & interesting treasures, all of which are proudly represented on the mural wall. I did make a small contribution, however, by heading over to The Corner Store to buy a t-shirt that reads "Making History On 25th Street". This is certainly true. All proceeds from t-shirt sales go to help cover costs of materials. I personally think this mural is a masterpiece & predict it will be another major tourist attraction for San Pedro (judging from the groups of people there yesterday it already is, the reason I decided it was not premature to post a review). It's whimsical, delightful & one of the coolest works of art I've seen. I couldn't stop smiling the entire time I was there. So to Julie Bender especially, as well as everyone involved: big congrats on your accomplishment! Well done.

What's cool about this place is that it is pretty proximal and multiple things happening. You have your bougie art to local urban art which brings a nice mix of people. From music, dance, and art pieces they are all a great sight. Parking: We found some street parking. Mainly meters and free after 6pm. There's also some plaza parking here and there but check appropriately. Food: There are a few brick and mortar bars and restaurants complimented with the ever so hip food trucks (about 10). Some art spots have light refreshments if you want to fill up on snacks. Vendors: Not much street vendors but more inside the stores either that or they were all concentrated on another street. Overall: 4.5 Stars. I digged this artwalk. I liked it's proximity of art, friendly and safe vibes. Capoeira cypher is great as usual, about 4-5 outdoor music dance performances, a real refreshing sight. I look forward to coming here during the summer. Advice: * Look into the red trolley to take you to the waterfront for free * Be sure to check the weather to dress appropriately * They start to wrap up around 8:30pm sooo come appropriately
