I have seen work from artists featured in this gallery. They do not sell their work for what Santos…read moreFine Art Galleries is charging. Galleries usually charge 50% commission, but it looks like this gallery doubles the price of the art to take advantage of our beach community, while still paying the artist a fair wage. I love art, and I am all for establishing some other form of alternative exhibit space that does not involve opportunistic vultures as handlers. It's too bad artists have to turn to a place like this for exposure. Shame on you Santos, soon to be featured on The Turko Files.

I've really enjoyed looking at art here. I especially love the "beans" t-shirts/sweatshirts. Super…read moregood customer service too! First time I went, there was free wine offered to everyone.

This shop we just happened upon while walking after lunch one day. The shop owner and artist was…read morethere and was kind enough to show us around and tell us about his pieces. His work is very unusual and creative and beautiful. My mom thought that one of the pieces might be a good house warming gift for a friend and said she'd return. I recommend going to the place if you are looking for an unique glass piece it a gift.

As a fan of Banksy, I really enjoyed this pop-up gallery. It was thoughtfully put together and made…read moreit easy to follow his work over the years. There were many verified original works along with good recreation pieces, which is required to experience his art in a gallery setting. I gave it 4 stars mainly because of the cost. Tickets were pretty expensive, and it felt like that money was going straight to private companies and collectors. On top of that, parking at the fairgrounds was $20, which felt excessive. It would have been nice to see some of that money support humanitarian causes, which feels more in line with Banksy's message. There's also this constant feeling that Banksy himself would probably hate all of it. It goes against what he stands for. At the same time, it does give more people a chance to experience his work, which I think is a positive. Not trying to take a moral stance, just something I couldn't shake while I was there.

And maybe it is, but it was still worth it to see this exhibition which is temporary. This exhibition is showing until mid April 2026, so you have a limited amount of time to see it. If you're in Del Mar, and have a couple of hours, I'd highly recommend this show if you like graffiti art and like what this artist stands for. The exhibition goes thru his 25 years of work and its quite moving that a lot of his art is a commentary to what is going on in the world. The guy has heart and cares about the world and people. I can totally jive with that. I spent a lot of my career devoted to humanitarian aid work and there are moments during this exhibition where I got teary eyed. Seems Banksy was always there making a commentary when something was going terribly wrong in the world. I love what he stands for, because, a lot of what he stands for is what I believe in. He speaks out when there is injustice and also makes fun of the ridiculousness of the world especially when capitalism and bad people rule the world. His art is timeless and now more than ever, seems even more relevant. I really enjoyed this exhibition. His art spoke to my inner social activist deeply. I laughed, smirked, sighed in relief, got angry, got sad, but mostly reflected while going thru this exhibition. Make art, make love, not war. Go see this show if whats going in the world is too heavy and you need an outlet. I promise you you will learn something very powerful after this show. Thanks Banksy for always being there when its truly important. And maybe this wasnt put on by the artist himself but it still stands for something meaningful.

Located right along the 101 in Downtown Encinitas, there's a cute, open market. There were around…read more20-25 vendors selling clothes, jewelry, health food and more. My sister found a couple shirts from the various vendors and I got a permanent bracelet from Hara Jewels. I was torn between the permanent bracelet and the charm bracelets she has, but I'll definitely be coming back for one of those bracelets. Everyone was friendly and open to negotiating on prices (when it came to the clothes). They are open Saturday's and Sunday's until 4pm!

Seaside Bazar is an outdoor marketplace consisting of multiple vendors selling artsy goods and…read moreitems such as tapestries, vegan purses, tie died products and crystals. With a range of goods from local handcrafted items to vintage and imports, Seaside Bazar attracts a diverse crowd. At this location you will undoubtedly encounter plenty of hippies, spiritual people, stoners, and mind body enthusiasts of every ethnicity and gender. I stopped by with two of my friends on Sunday and someone said that she had never been in the bazaar yet had noticed it for years. My other friend chimed in with, "I do not need a dreamcatcher or crochet plant holder". It is a great place to people watch, and I find it ironic that someone has built a giant art project featuring a surfing Buddha made entirely of trash, given that many of the products sold there are going to end up there. The symbolism of Encinitas culture is hard to ignore with Paramahansa Yogananda's Ashram Center and Meditation Gardens perched above one of the greatest surfing spots in the world.
