Art Galleries in Sausalito, CA

“We visited this gallery when we travelled to San Francisco from NZ. Purchased a beautiful lithograph from owner. He arranged the shipping at no cost to New Zealand. We also purchased a lovely piece of jewellery for our granddaughter. There was such a lot of beautiful items on offer, catering to a range of tastes. Will definitely visit again. The owner was very knowledgeable and helpful - it was a pleasure to deal with him.”

“The first time I visited the gallery was back in 2016, during a trip to California. I fell in love with Scott Hanson's work (who I was lucky enough to meet in person), especially his bronze sculptures. The gallery staff was delightful and very accommodating. Later on my trip, I spotted a sculpture of the artist on display at Stanford University. Recently, while again in California, I decided to buy one of Hanson's art pieces that I was long desiring. The gallery provided all the support to get everything ready to ship the sculpture internationally (Thank you, Sherry!). The gallery is a must-go place if you are in the area.”

“My luck could not have been better than the day I received a beautiful lithograph from Michael Mintzer, and then chose Bob on Michael's recommendation. Bob's experience as an artist was obvious as he easily provided attractive and reasonable framing options. He then blew me away by fast-tracking the job and having it ready for me before I had to leave town for a month.”

“Came here on a whim...we were visiting from Hawaii. We were staying in downtown SF at the Palace Hotel and walked to the Ferry building. While there, we saw the ferry and said to each other, "eh, let's go take a trip to Sausalito!" We found our way to Scrimshaw Gallery, which was a short walk from the port, just off the main strip. Good looking woodworks from local artisans. Not sure why all the reviews of the grumpy dude with the mustache, but Mike was pleasant and helpful. He was quiet at first, I'm sure just exhausted from the many looky-loos filtering through the shop. Mike was more than happy to share the history of the pieces in the store. There were tons of bowls and great looking, well-made wooden boxes with handsome inlays. In particular there was a bowl, small, really nice markings and designs from the natural wood, that I was interested in. Mike explained the history of it, how it was made and how the unusual naturally burnt rim of the bowl came to be. I was sold! One big problem I had was hand carrying it home...but Mike offered to ship it...for FREE! Of course, I was weary about that because I wasn't sure if it would be intact when I received it...and I really loved this one of a kind piece. After all, it was hand turned from a local artisan who has since retired! But I trusted Mike and agreed to having it shipped (and THANKED him for doing it complimentarily!). I received it in the mail yesterday...fully bubble wrapped in a box...in PERFECT condition! Much Mahalo, Mike!”

“Over 140 artist studios. When they have open studios or any events well worth your time to go. I took an excellent workshop with Bobby Gignilliat there last week.”

“I found my happy place today in #sausalito just over the #goldengatebridge from San Francisco.Set amongst beautiful buildings and overlooking the harbour, Sausalito is probably best known for its Richardson Bay houseboat enclaves, built by artist squatters after WWII.Sausalito has a dynamic group of talented, local, visual artists and I was ready to explore.As a lover of markets, handcrafted wares and all things creative, I wasn’t let down. I walked along the streets absorbing the sights, sounds and smells that come with a tight knit community and tourist attraction.A highlight today was when I found @studio333downtown nestled away amongst the cafes and shops.This small store was brimming with unique and interesting pieces, most of which are made locally.I was first attracted to the glass soap trays, then the leather purses, then the earrings, the hats, the soap and so much more.This place amongst many “fill my cup” soaking up all the joy and craftsmanship that people have within them.I shall return again on another trip and explore more broadly what’s else Sausalito has to offer.”

“Nice Store, great and unique selections, good people.If you’re the kind that thinks outside of the box, then you should visit and shop here.The owner is a great man.”

“The staff was phenomenally helpful at my son's wedding. The bride and groom worked with Club 333 and found them incredibly experienced and everything was pulled off with everyone having a great time. I would definitely recommend the venue for any formal event.”

“Wow, what a unique and magical gallery! Bubble Street Gallery - and the art within - is so whimsical and magical. Usually I can cruise through galleries as it's not all my style, but even with this being one artist and style, I had to look closely at each one. We didn't walk out with any purchases as most was out of our price range, but we really enjoyed looking through - and it put the artist on my radar. I enjoyed that they had puzzles and other less expensive options as well. Highly recommend taking a look through if you're in Sausalito!”
