Bread & Salt is a former bakery that has been transformed into a space for artists and exhibits…read more The space is open and airy , with large arched windows, and I really appreciated the details that still show pieces of what the building used to be. You can still feel the industrial character of the space while the large open doors create a nice airflow, especially when it starts to get crowded. We were there to see the Raices del Campo solo exhibit and it did not disappoint. The artwork was exceptional and you could really feel the energy through the colors used in the paintings. The artist even had a vintage Tecate cart sitting near one of the entrances. It was such a fun touch, fit the vibe perfectly and was refreshing. I can always appreciate an art show at Bread & Salt. I love the way the space brings together its vintage industrial roots with modern art and creativity.

It's an art gallery, but also a venue that can be rented out for a space to do several events. I…read morewent after hours for a indie film thingy, I would say it was very unorganized, they said door opening at 6 PM, but they let people wait in line to get photographer took pictures for marketing purposes. The catering company also there to serve people food, but then they made people buy their own stuffs and put all the free food away for themselves, we never heard of the food again. Show started at 7:30 PM, they just made people hanging out in the lobby, only a certain amount, the rest still have to wait outside in the cold, no food were served what so ever, the catering company put out the food, then the organizer boxed them and promised it will be ready for everyone after the show. Then the problem with seatings, they really don't know how to seat people, so they randomly picked people and put them to whatever seats available, then everyone else had to stand in the back the entire time. Finally the technical issue, sound and video went out of sync, camera and microphone didn't work half of the time. I understand this is low budget indie blah blah blah, but you really wasted everyone time, and you didn't get your act together. You should have done sound check and rehearsed. By the time they couldn't figure out how to fix the problem, they just let the rest of the show went on, then apologized. There was no free food, and if you wanted to buy food, the catering truck also gone. Really Bread & Salt, you need to allow more quality events to be in your venue. Please!

When I first met Mee and visited her Gallery- I immediately eyed and could not stop thinking of…read more Blue Breath of Nature. Being a passionate lover of being on the water, an avid swimmer and a scuba diver it spoke to me. Several years later- I bought the original. I gladly paid asking price and would have never thought to ask for a "better price". I have since added her Aluminums, Steel Rounds, and Framed Reprints. Her art is breath-taking. She pours her heart, soul, mind, imagination and then finally her talent as a LIFE LONG Passion (& Wayne State MFA Educated Artist) -to bring an image to canvas. Art isn't for everyone & Mee's Gallery is free admission to view her heart, soul, and lifelong passion. She's been in same location for 13+ years. Not many businesses- who make millions, and millions more- can even say that - especially on India Street. Please don't ask for discounts when she spends at times months on a piece or you don't understand the background details to create such an image. Don't ask for pricing favors- like no tax- Mee Shim has to pay it on sales & so should you as buyer. And lastly- don't be rude, loud, obnoxious, disregarding her posting for "No Photos". Again this is her heart and soul- and she is an open, free Gallery for people to admire and perhaps grow with seeing her works. If you Love her Art- Tell Her, and Purchase an Original. If you don't connect, the open door you came thru is still open to leave thru. Be KIND- It will be better Karma than some Negative One Star Review you provide- and most important remember- The entire experience is Zero COST to you whether you loved it or otherwise. Her Gallery is a welcomed break from the hustle of restaurants, and Her Passion and Enthusiasm surround the visitor. Please visit- you'll be glad you did.

It's not a huge museum, which honestly makes it easy to enjoy in a short time without feeling museum fatigue. Exhibits are thoughtfully put together and focus on the artistry and craftsmanship of everyday objects, which feels both accessible and surprisingly inspiring. We spent time with the exhibits and then wandered through the gift shop, which is easily one of the best museum shops around, full of cool books, ceramics, jewelry, and gifts you won't find everywhere else. The space itself is bright, modern, and welcoming, making it a great place to slow down and appreciate beautiful things. There's a cool restaurant downstairs too.

We then spent some time browsing through unique items at the gift shop. There is large cafe on the opposite side. There are additional interesting displays (behind glass), right outside the entrance. We may check out the upstairs at our next visit.

While the texture looks great on the screen, it's even more stunning in real life--more than worth stopping by for.

Alas, my favorite painting was already sold, and was a bit out of my price range, but I really enjoyed admiring all of them.

Definitely worth checking out, and if you're lucky, you'll also get to meet Walter and Shatoo.

For the world of art and the artists that hone their skills and the many paintings that they do…read morethere are many galleries from the many artists they have the shows and the exhibitions to showcase the many paintings and the sculptures for the many artists they use their hands with the medias of pottery and clay. Art is one of the world's oldest forms of expression and the artists that showcased their talents in the world of oils and the acrylics and the ever-popular charcoal that was used. For the many that have not seen the way an artist looks at his model and to get the right angels and the light of the room with the painting or to use oils for a canvas painting to see art you must first visualize what the artist sees in his mind's eye. For the many paintings that you may see are the many years of work or the many months that pure heart and the patience to get the piece done and to sum it all up and have the willing to make one of his greatest artistic masterpieces. world of art has been one thing that gives me such a calming feeling to look and to see the many paintings and to know what you have seen is one of the most beautiful and the colors each one stands for many things and many feelings. One Gallery of the Gaslamp Quarter has many of the greatest artists and many of the local artists that have showcased their talents many of the paintings can be from large to small and to the larger size. The Gallery in question is the Exclusive Collections in San Diego California one of the best galleries that I have visited to see many artists works and the works of Charles Schultz. When the hostess showed me around the gallery, I was very enthralled with the many pieces some of the artists that I had seen before the ballet painting that done by a French painter, and to see the many hands drawn portraits and the works done by Charles Schultz that is one thing that not many get to do. The many oils and the acrylics that were painted of the many characters of Dr Seuss and Cat in the Hat those were some of the drawings that were transferred to the many books that were written by him for the many kids that watched the many special evening shows that would be of his work and The Cat in the Hat. Exclusive Collections has one of the largest private and the many local artists that sell they're at the location and the many new artists showcase and have exhibitions to the public. As a Yelp Reviewer the times that I have gone to the Exclusive Collections it's a wonderful thing to see the many great art pieces and the sculpture's they have on display and to sit in some of the showing rooms to see what the many colors of art look like. Exclusive Collections is located in the Gaslamp and close to the many restaurants that you can have time and have dinner and purchase art beauty of art in the house. You may find some of the pieces on the high side and others maybe on the expensive side there are some that can be affordable, and others take a bit to purchase.

I attended the Uplifting Vibrations show at the gallery this past weekend and I got the chance to…read morenot only appreciate all of the art on the walls but actually talk with Grant Pecoff and his wife Layne Pecoff. I will start with the art. They had a few artists displayed but mostly had the work of Grant Pecoff (given that it is his gallery). They also had some very moving pieces from Stephanie Clair, the expression that she created with her cubism style and simplistic faces was very apparent and warm. Then I noticed Grant work and immediately recognized it. One of my friends has a piece of his I have always loved, it is of about 10 narrow homes above a reflective river in Amsterdam, the colors used and the reflection created are so unique and awesome. I love his art and hope to one day own a few of his pieces as they would compliment any room. He also has many San Diego paintings, including one of the Coronado bridge...which elicits a very interesting story of how he met his wife Layne. She had seen this painting for the first time a week before her parents came into town. When she was showing them around Del Mar she remembered it and brought them over to the window to check it out as she went on and on about how much she loved it. A guy was also looking at it from outside of the window and let her know there was a marching band on the side of the beach that day, that man was Grant Pecoff and only 5 weeks after that moment, they went on a trip to Europe together and had gotten married. Layne is full of happiness and it radiates to you when talking with her. She provides such a warm and comfortable aura and will leave you in positive thought after conversing with her. She writes the children's books with Grant's art next to the words, I have read through some of them and would recommend to any parent who hopes for an active imagination for their young one. The art and words dance and mingle in a lively fashion that stirs even an adult mind. If you are in the Little Italy area and you are look for an uplifting gift for your eyes and mind, please oh please, come on in and surround yourself with beauty.
