This is my 1st review on Yelp, and for good reason. This gallery really goes the extra mile. Jill…read morehas an uncanny eye for framing and what's needed to make your artwork or photo "Pop". Jill makes framing seem like an art in and of itself. Once in the frame, you can't imagine your chosen art piece outside of it. The frame not only becomes an extension of the piece but you start to get the feeling it can't live without it. Wood Gallery has been framing my favorite artwork and memories for the better part of a decade or more before having ever even stepped foot in her gallery, until last week. I was on vacation in San Diego, with the family, when we decided to go to Coronado for the day, so we decided to stop in for our 1st visit. WOW, I was amazed! I couldn't help but get the feeling that I was stepping into a museum not a storefront. It was such a pleasure to finally meet Jill in person. The gallery had several hand signed lithographs of one of my favorite artists, Picasso, along with plenty of traditional and contemporary original artwork by a range of local and international artists. Jill's staff was courteous, friendly and knowledgeable without a hint of attitude like so many other places. They have no problem with curious visitors who just want to walk in and take a look at the beautiful artwork. I will continue to have my framing done exclusively by Jill and her art gallery. Coronado turned out to be a great little stop on our visit to Southern California. Art and Frames by Wood Gallery is a must stop when in Coronado. Don't forget to ask for Jill!

With its two-story open concept and brick walls, it has an urban yet elevated industrial vibe. I came here recently during Comic Con week and in addition to the modern pop art downstairs, I geeked out on the Marvel pieces upstairs. They featured the original comic books, time stone, orb, and a few life-sized Marvel super heroes. It was a treat and appropriate for Comic Con, of course! Can't wait to see which talented artists they'll feature at the gallery next.

I've been there a few times and finally decided to share my lovely experience with this art treasure located in Gaslamp. The beautiful gallery is inside an historic building featuring unique contemporary painting, sculpture, photography, and much more by a variety of local artists. We're often told great art speaks for itself...well, the art will speak for itself. You'll see a spectacular art selection being displayed on both levels (upper level is the solo exhibition) - the artwork captivating. The owner, Sonya Sparks, and staff are always welcoming and very helpful. Therefore, I highly recommend checking out Sparks Gallery.

There was even art made from old bullet casings. In addition there were carvings from various types of wood and paintings.

He told us about the artists, pointed out pieces he thought we would like, and was a pleasure to be around. There are prominent signs out front saying no food, drink, or cellphone use inside. I'm not sure why anyone would be surprised when asked to leave when ignoring those rules. It's pretty standard for most galleries. I will definitely be back when looking to redecorate. There are so many things I would love to showcase.

I have always found Ninya and her staff to be top notch in all their business dealings with our gallery and artists. Their appraisals are spot on and the quality of their presentations are completely thorough. Ninya is an amazing resource for so many aspects of art from preservation to marketing. Her as a mentor has enabled our business to do much more then succeed but to be at the top of our market. I am thankful that Ninya is a part of my world! Kim Costello

I am just as content being on my own there, being with my wife, or visiting with a friend at the Coronado Ferry Landing. The Coronado Ferry Landing has many great restaurants. I have enjoyed visiting Peohe's, Il Fornaio, Spiro's Greek Cafe, and Le Parfait Paris each year. In addition, there is Lil' Piggy's Bar-B-Q, Cocina 35 Brunch, Cold Stone Creamery, Coronado Coffee Company, Burger King, and Village Pizzeria. There are also many other restaurants nearby on Orange.

It's a monthly event where local vendors come out to sell their hand-crafted items. Browse through jewelry, clothing, soaps, pinatas, and other vintage and re-purposed items. They even had a tarot card reader! Travel outside the lot and you'll also encounter a ton of street vendors. Get your tacos and tamals! Por vida is advertised to serve champurrado, Mexican hot chocolate in the thick form, but the tamal guy at his cart (called Tamales Pepe) served a pretty damn good version too. His chicken mole tamales at $3 each were also muy deliciosos! Such a festive & fun event! We went for their Christmas rendition called "Noche Buena" so there were lots of lights, Christmas trees, and garland everywhere. Be sure to following them on Facebook to learn about their next event. Careful with parking though; cars park in the center, turn section of the street, so travel down this road SLOWLY. Support local, support small businesses... always!

I've been a vendor in the past and always showcased our products at these type of markets in SF or LA due to the lack of them here. You've got everything from refurbished woodworks to handcrafted leather goods (notebooks, wallets, etc). Plenty of things to choose from for everyone. It seems like a fairly new spot so I'm sure more and more local artists and vendors will be showing up and making this a regular spot for the hipsters to be at.
