“Such a unique store with unique, fun and interesting merchandise. I'm so happy this mom and pop store has been able to thrive over the years as it truly is a favorite to visit in my town and it's terribly hard to be in business these days. They do such a good job with their Instagram page and promoting their awesome themed art shows and various art events. I love their annual pet show as always come home with portraits of my dog from the artists that attend. I love that you can order online. They helped out a lot during the pandemic. They are always so helpful when you go in too. This last weekend I went in to find some Valentine's Day gifts for family members and sure enough left with some fun goodies. Love shopping along Colorado And Eagle Rock Blvds.”
“i just wanted to express how amazing the store name is and the staff Shereen is friendly and very knowledgeable about the unique merchandises and #loveurstyle. Would recommend others to drop by the store, definitely interesting and unique.”

The venue was very nice and comfortable. The show was spectacular and produced very well. All the seats are designed to see the stage and enjoy a performance. Great place.”

210 E Main St, Alhambra“Nucleus is an art gallery that caters to more modern artists in the genre of pop culture, anime, and local flavor artists.
A nice, clean esthetic that provides a wonderful space to display the art. There are two stories. Enough room to display many different artists, which switch out on a regular basis.
There are also meet and greets as well as signings. Depending on the artists, the crowds show up to meet people they admire.
Great place to peruse and buy art.”
“TAJ Art is a magical place, it’s peaceful gardens and romantic atmosphere make it my first choice to host private events. I love the scenery!The place has to offer calming surroundings, positive energy and kindness that just flows through your body when you enter the garden.I have hosted multiple events and with the help of Trace ( the owner ) each one of them was an absolute success. She is a great listener and intuitively understood what I was looking for even before I could fully articulate it.The level of customer service exceeded my expectations and each one of my event was a 100% gratifying.I will be back for more. Thank You!”

1031 E Green St, Pasadena“So much to see here! Judith, one of the co-owners, is a really lovely lady and is incredibly hospitable and helpful. Lots of great materials esp for Euro history and materials about ancient Near East.”
“First time tattoo experience was great one! Justine was everything I needed as a first timer. I, loved the atmosphere. It was so relaxed unlike the hundreds of shops I walked into. From the start I was welcomed. Everything was clean and so private which is a great plus. I loved the colors options, and the fact that the ink is vegan is even better! Less toxins and chemicals. I love my tattoo. She did great job. I will be back if I am in the market to get another one. Thank you. I will recommend.”

453 S Spring St M7, Los Angeles“The Last Bookstore, located in Downtown Los Angeles is a book lover’s dream. Located at the intersection of 5th & Spring St., it offers a wide variety of new and used books, vinyl, and other physical media. In an era where everything is becoming increasingly digitized, the magic of being surrounded by physical media is especially unique. Art made out of books, and creative design concepts make ‘The Last Bookstore’ a selfie hotspot. Several movies have also had scenes filmed here to include the Oscar nominated film, ‘Gone Girl’. Tune in to tour the most awesome bookstore I’ve ever seen, on The Cristopolis Show (YT / IG @cristopolis)”

1003 1/2 E Colorado Blvd, Pasadena“I have had Nova do about five projects for me, and they have all been gorgeous. This family owned business has been around a long time, and they are experts at what they do. What they can do with matting and framing elevates your art to the next level.”
“I love this store! I could spend hours perusing everything they have for sale. So unique and creative! Plus, it's connected to the La Luz de Jesus art gallery, that's always a treat. Short drive from the Griffith Observatory!”
10AM - 6PM
1700 S Santa Fe Ave #101, Los Angeles“It is a quite varied gallery with respect to the art it is about, I love the fact that the forms of expression are so different and unique, a lot of history and very valuable, it is quite pleasant.I would have liked more time to appreciate the efforts of these artists more.”
“Love this store and the owner! My friend and I happened to walk in this morning, and I unexpectedly bought my first real piece of jewelry here that I’ll wear for the rest of my life. I was nervous to invest in a piece, but my friend and I really loved Michelle’s personality and I’m so glad I bought a necklace from her :)”

603 S Brand Blvd, Glendale“safe fun spot, where you can be colorful, be yourself, be accepted. seriously stellar folk. respectable, kind, considerate. supportive of community. really big world views. really gentle about teaching people how to help others. woke. y'all woke.”
“Everything is good except they take forever to get your food order in. If you stop there before a Dodger game or concert, be aware, you will be late. Be cautious and give yourself an extra hour because you will disappointed later.”

833 E 3rd St, Los Angeles“Nice little gallery. I was there for the Invader show. He's one of my favorite street artists. There are two large rooms of his stuff - make sure to go behind the black curtain to view his amazing Rubik's cube pieces. We also saw Gongkan's work in the other part of the gallery - interesting concept with the mirrors. The gallery is on a popular street near Prince Street Pizza and Salt and Straw, Hauser & Wirth is nearby. Street parking is free on Sundays - but good luck getting a spot.”
“A great place for words and the invocation of meaning. Perfumed verses are submerged in brain waves that become tsunami synonomis with origami, figures of swans in the form of stanzas.We speak words that travel thru Avenue 50 studio walls and into the matte universe.Places leave traces of themselves in the people who visit such places.C.O.”
“The cerebral dexterity and expansion with which you exit this portal...Analog as fuck. Michael is on the verge of savant genius. (What am I even saying... he is) His art and abilities transverse multi dimensional mind scapes laying new neural pathways in technicolor daydreams...You'll never be the same.”
“This shop is awesome! The artist have such a chill vibe. I've gotten 3 tats done here. Dan did an amazing job. I could not be happier with the work. I won't go anywhere else to get work done.”
“HNYPT LA exceeded my expectations for a photography studio rental in Los Angeles. The versatility of the space allowed me to showcase my products in various setups, demonstrating their adaptability. Overall, HNYPT LA is a haven for creativity, providing an exceptional environment that goes beyond a typical photography studio, making it the ideal choice for capturing compelling and unique visuals.”
“I walked into this cute gallery in hopes that someone can help me frame some art work that l've had stored since my early college days. I was pleasantly surprised with a warm welcome and reassurance that I was at the right place for the job I needed done, and he was correct. Til now, Armando amazes me with his work ethic, level of professionalism and high quality craftsmanship. Im glad to have discovered this hidden gem within my community. This is by far my forever shop!”
“Stay Gallery located in downtown Downey is a precious gem in our city. They feature local artist as well as events for the community. Thank you Stay Gallery for your February Family Paint Day Event last week. The guided acrylic paint dau was so much fun. Please look them up! They have events posted on their website for a fun family day. They also host private events! There's a parking structure directly across the street. Enjoy the Downey mural on Downey Ave. painted by local artist depicting several Downey landmarks! So proud to be from this city for over 20 years.”
“I am at a 4.5 but rounding up for all the amazing shows in past years. I love, love, love this place for decades, I don't particulaly love the last few shows. I am a low brow art dan and this gallery has exposed me (through the years) to some the most famous and also lesser known but amazing talents in this space. Art is subjective but when art looks like my 6 yo niece has more artistic merit than some of the artists of late (see Oct 2023 show for context), you lose credibility. The quality of artists on exhibition has gone way down since reopening after nearly a 1.5 year lockdown/semi lockdown (minus the Everything but the Kitchen Sync show).I still enjoy shopping the best curation of niche art books and trinkets, etc.. I guarantee you will not get such a diverse range of small run books in CA. In the event you see a book there, buy it because you support the store AND you may not find it anywhere else. I personally always shop local for just this reason. Buying books online is soulless. You enter La Luz and you are in another realm. There is quite literally a category for everyone. I always make time in my visit to browse (also buy). Great place to shop for your friends and family with more eclectic tastes. Very unlikely that anything you gift here will be given by someone else. Lots of affordable and UNIQUE gifts. You would be hard pressed not to find something for everyone here!***Extra points if you visit and catch a glimpse of Billy Shire in all his incognito greatness.The third photo is sooo kisch that I had to post.”
“It is so hard to find a parking . The paid parking spot is between $2-11 dollars in variety. And I love downtown area, but please have a parking spot for the gig worker.”
“Every time I come to Los Angeles, I have to visit a Chinese antique store. This store is my favorite, and I can receive my favorite collection every time. The prices of this store are reasonable, and the service attitude is also good. The main thing is that every time I can always receive old items I like; every time I don’t come to this store, I feel like I’m not in Los Angeles. I hope I can come here to find good treasures next time I come to Los Angeles!”
“Very knowledgeable staff advices with style color and material that best works with your photo or art print I was impressed and most of all they help me with budget my print looked amazing”
“24/600 reviews challenge for 2023. The LA art scene These Days art gallery 5 Stars***** I found this little gem by accident and wanna share it with everyone, its on Winston and main st 1 1/2 blocks from spring street art walk an on the second floor. You have to walk up a flight of stairs but this is cali, so I know you're all in great shape ja! Once I wlaked up there I met the owner I think, Stephan who was this cool cat and fun to talk too. They dont get much foot traffic since its on the other side of spring street, however its worth seeking out. I I love the LA art scene and more importantly the LA art walk. One gets it all from a variety of artisans from weekend warriors to life long professionals displaying and selling their work. From prints, paintings, sketches, stickers, necklaces, shirts, hats, and etc to just name a few.. Having this diverse amount of artist is cool because theres somthing fof everyone to enjoy, buy, and explore. Now im an adventurer so I love going on a hunt for hidden galleries. Theres a map one can acquire that shows a lot of the galleries within walking distance. You can get one at the hive gallery on spring street.”
“I’ve been taking Kimberly’s jewelry class for a couple of years and am continually learning new skills. She is an awesome instructor who brings so much experience and problem solving to her students. There are students of varying experience and there are so many different approaches to projects — it makes it really fun.”
