I particularly liked the oil paintings, which were priced from $100 to $1,000 based on size and artist. Customers are not allowed to take Photos of the paintings without the artist's permission, I am not able to share photos with you. Hand-made cards and jewelry were also for sale and very reasonably priced. I just love pearls and did see some that I really liked, but they did not have electronic payments available the weekend I went, it was cash only. Make note of this in case you want to make a purchase. I do believe the credit card system would be up and running soon. The first Saturday of every month is an art fair, next to the Lubrary. Annual membership is $60 and gets you free admission to the fair, non-menbers pay $10. Sign up for art demonstrations, classes or orher upcoming events on their website.

There was some communication via email & text and they were very responsive. We ended up hanging out for at least 30 minutes talking to Maria, Drew, Christine, and little Linda. Everyone here is so nice and fun to talk with. Drew's surf art is really cool, but his sacred geometry is inspirational--I hope I will have the opportunity to have one in my home some day. They hold a lot of events here and I will definitely return.

It was the home of the original founding family of the city, with the unique Spanish Colonial Revival architecture style that is popular in the area. Today, it is a private cultural center and event space, with many of its historical aspects preserved in a clean and classy way. We visited as part of a private photo shoot and it was really quite amazing. It offers awesome views of the San Clemente pier and beach. It is currently undergoing renovation in some areas, and will be even better when it is done. It looks like people use this as a place to have weddings and other small events. It's open to the public on a limited schedule so check the website before you go. If you're gonna check it out.
