The gallery is filled with bright and colorful works of art made by local artists. I visited the gallery during the Echo Park Rising event and it was so magical. Upon walking in the store front displays some of the highlighted art work and you can see right in. It’s a large space and the art work is moderately priced. At the back of the gallery there is an upper level outdoor terrace with a stage set up and plenty of seating around for artists to come perform. What I love about the back is the giant tree and all the ambiance.
This is one of the nicest art galleries I’ve visited in Los Angeles. You can feel a lot of positive energy and tell that the owner who runs the show is a true art veteran.

I went to an opening here last night (Under the Sun) and had a great time! A band performed inside the small gallery while another band was setting up outside. The outside space is an amazing grassy retreat with a stage, tables and chairs, and a big ol’ tree. The crowd was a mix of once rock stars, «hippies» («burnouts» may be a more accurate descriptor, I suppose, and I’m only referring to their aesthetics and the fact that they were wielding bottles of booze and celebrating the arrival of each of their friends), hipsters, artists and locals. The people/​environment was friendly, and it looked like everyone was having a good time checking out the art, drinking wine and beer, smoking cigarettes, listening to music and talking to each other. As far as the art, there was a mix of collage, sketches, and paintings starting at $ 40, but most above $ 100 (and way above $ 100). The space was cleverly curated and there was an easy flow from artist to artist. There’s parking in the Barragan’s lot (next door) for $ 5 or street parking.
