“Charming little gallery with a charming owner. And I am writing without having entered the store. Nothing is more fun than finding art while looking through a half opened dutch door. Finding this gem made my great weekend even better. And I left with a reminder that should last a lifetime. Merci beaucoup, Laurence”
“O really enjoy all my interactions at Occidental Art Center. The Tuesday morning Life Drawing class is great! The teacher and all the students are supportive and encouraging .I so love the people and process involved in entering their juried shows. All you do is get an appointment on line and take your painting into the gallery at that time. It is quite an enjoyable experience.Finally, I want to say how pleasant people at the center are. Everyone just enjoys making and sharing art!”
“Everyone was so kind. I bought a photographic print by Bill Theis for a good price called Have You Found Your Prince? They served wine and had such a welcoming atmosphere. When I get my lawn in order I will a buy some of those lawn pieces. Worth stopping by.”

1781 CA-1, Bodega Bay“This was a great free little gallery and the owners were so welcoming and laid back. It was a great way to get out of the rain and see some beautiful pieces. We didn't buy anything here but we felt welcome nonetheless. I recommend this place to art lovers. They have many different mediums as well. My favorites were the stones carved and made into various household objects.”
“One of my favorite places to toodle around. You can't see everything in one pass. There are antiques, plants, art, jewelry, vintage clothes, furniture, and so much cool stuff! I want almost all of it!!”

16357 Main St, Guerneville“A terrific diversion and place to shop for that St. Generic's Day gift before the seasonal crush. This cooperative of about eleven local artists is airy, well lit and a happy place in which to enjoy a variety of expression by extremely talented people who are, for the most part, members of the Newly Emerging Lower River Left Bank Art Community. Paintings, sculptures, photos, things to hang on your body and much of it has been inspired by the spectacular natural beauty of the turf where these artists live. The first Friday of every month Guerneville's gallery people open their doors, lay out a few munchies, a cup of something red and shmooze with visitors, townies and members of this intertwining network of people who share goals, points of view and the latest dirt on a couple of their mutual acquaintances. Well-behaved pooches are welcome and you might come upon a few surprises.I love this place and the people who brighten it and make visiting it a special experience.”

“Rebecca is an artist in glass...gorgeous stained glass products...she does custom work, and has many beautiful items in her shop. It's always a joy to shop at Glass Images, and to chat with Rebecca!”
“We happened to park in front of this co-op on our stop to explore bodega and I must say I do regret not buying more things. I got this great magnet but I really wanted the slippers. They looked so warm. This Artisans’ Co-op is really worth stopping at. It was definitely one of my favorite stops.”
