From canvas paintings to photography. All paintings range from $60.00 to $2,000 Edward B Synder Has many accomplishments such as film actor, voice-over artist, Animal Portrait Artist Here is a little history on the gallery. In the year of 1939, the Art Association respectfully constructed its permanent gallery on Painter Avenue in Whittier. It is truly remarkable that after all these years, the art gallery continues to stand strong and serve its purpose. With a dedicated team working collaboratively, this art gallery remains vibrant and continues to thrive. Mabel George Haig was a highly esteemed artist and writer. In the year of 1934, she was the major co-founder of the Whittier Art Association & Gallery as it still stands today. It was respectfully built to be an art gallery, although it resembles a house on the exterior. Various events take place here, providing artists with a platform to respectfully showcase their life's work. 30% of the sale of each artwork or art piece, whether it be canvas style painting, cards, or jewelry for sale. 8 car parking behind the art gallery as well as a back door entrance. Plenty parking on the street. Restrooms are available.

Understandably, there are only a couple of rooms here to see. We came here during the Claudia Meyer exhibit in December 2019. I was blown away by her art pieces which sometimes resembled a modern day form of hieroglyphics, a mish mash of squiggly lines, layers of sepia or black and white tones, mixed hues and rings or circles? Whatever she meant to convey, I was feeling it. It was heavy one minute, then light the next. An energy I could not deny. Once again, I'm always wanting more - I could have walked through a few more rooms of her work. The front desk associate here was really pleasant too. I'd love to come here again to view other artists' works in the future.

I went to see a few friends show their work this month, and was taken aback by the gallery. Mike and Candace have done an amazing job with the space they own, and the way they display their artists' work makes the whole experience super fun and unique. Every nook and cranny of the warehouse has something interesting, and i feel like I'm walking through a labyrinth of personal expression. They also have DJs spinning, live bands, or just random music playing throughout. It's also very close to a lot of bars and restaurants off Harbor, so spend some time checking out this place before hitting up your favorite pub or restaurant.

Since I was on the campus again to check out new exhibits at the Fowler Museum, I decided to extend my stay and check out this garden. After a few minutes, we were there and started to admire the nice sculptures spread out around, various styles, sizes, built from a variety of materials! A nice outdoor museum! The area is nice, green, full of patches of green grass inviting to a picnic or a nice reading session, a few benches where you can relax, enjoy a snack, which we did, shady trees, jacarandas in bloom and cute squirrels running around. The area is picturesque and mostly peaceful, interrupted by a dog who wasn't on a leash who attacked another cute, quiet dog sitting near its owners who were enjoying a picnic. Hard to witness. Otherwise, a relaxing spot to stop by if you are on the campus and need a break, live in the area and want to chill or visit and want to explore some more!

Living nearby, we've attended this popular event for the last 25 years. Hundreds of artist exhibit, sell, and demonstrate their various art forms such as water & oil painting, ceramics, pottery, woodwork, photography and jewelry. It's quite amazing to see all the enormous talent, passion and energy these brilliant artist put into their beautiful craft. There's arts & crafts boutiques selling their unique handmade crafts. Ladies, you would love the assortment of charming handcrafted jewelry available, my wife sure did! Also, a children's art workshop and live musical entertainment. It's best to arrive early because parking is very limited. Shuttles are available from Whittier Blvd. The church is located off a narrow winding two lane road. Driving cautiously up and down the hill is a must. The festival is fun, entertaining and a positive experience for the whole family to enjoy. Admission is free too!

It is now in its 53rd year and I never knew about it! What really amazes me is that the art show is really big. Artists are allowed to submit three pieces to the competition. Categories include photography, sculpture, mixed media, painting, and also there is a high school competition for younger artists. After the art pieces are judged and awarded cash prizes, the art pieces are displayed for three days inside the church auditorium and galleries. People who come to the festival can view the art pieces and also purchase them. There are also arts and crafts on display and for purchase. Saw lots of cool handmade pieces of jewelry, ceramic bowls, and sit down portrait art. The festival also features art work from well known artists. This year, one of the featured artist was a person that did the set design for all the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Awesome. I was told by a planning committee member that a lot of artists that are on display go through a screening process first. They pick artists that are pretty well established or have interesting resumes. Not everyone that submits to the festival gets to display their art. The art and various crafts tables are on display throughout the various rooms around the church. During the 3 days (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) the festival is open late in the morning to about 5pm in the afternoon. Various bands are also playing throughout the day. There are a lot of volunteers to help you if you have any questions. The only issue with the festival is the VERY LIMITED parking. Since the church is on a hill, if you can't find parking in the lot, you can't park on the street because there is no street parking. I saw signs for shuttle pick ups, so if you park on the bottom of the hill, I think you can have another option besides walking up!

Hi Honey, who is the dwarf?…read more After a brief "siesta" at the La Habra Library, a quick gaze to my right called my attention to dwarf sized cutout of Henry E. Huntington hanging out with a peculiar Ostrich (see photos). Then to the right of Henry and said Ostrich, I found a charming flight of red brick stairs leading up to the door of the La Habra Historical Museum. Many would crow "its small, hidden or low tech" yet those words where none I would use. The La Habra Historical Museum is elegant and reminiscent of charming historic Museums found in Boston, MA. Kris Dodson---of the La Habra Historical Society---narrated history (see mural) from Don Gaspar de Portola to present day. Ask Kris or docent on duty about the "strange" mystery of the Ostrich farm----spooky! "Using 3 Big Ostrich feathers" is part of a discussion Kris communicates perfectly. I wonder if ostrich feather use is depicted on the film shown in the theatre? Classic movie-theater upholstered in red is located on the south side of museum and offered viewings of 120 years of history in action. Antiques (switchboard, spinning wheel and penny farthing cycle) are found on the north side. Wistfully we did not find Rumpelstiltskin loitering by the spinning wheel---had an interview question for him, rats! Energetic and informative tour by lovely Kris and admission is FREE! LHHM is on my go back and illuminate via video list. Go, go, go!
