Art Galleries in Summerland, CA

“As I sit here in this peaceful setting I find myself torn about writing a review. Not because I think that The Sacred Space doesn’t deserve one; it’s actually quite the opposite. This is such a tranquil and well done oasis, a true hidden gem, that there’s a part of me fearful of it becoming overrun with people who may not respect it.

That being said, I think I’m probably telling a story that won’t come true so here’s my review .

This place is fantastic. A beautiful setting of fountains, water sculptures, seating areas, and lush gardens that surround a structure housing various natural items such as gems, stones, crystals, books, and more.

This is a great place to find some peace, and enjoy a deliberately calming and tranquil surrounding .

I definitely recommend stopping by.”

“The Simple exterior conceals a wonderful experience of exquisitely crafted pieces, I especially loved the fabric art upstairs and the porches upstairs. Great hospitality too, when I entered coughing I was given water.”

“Mary is delightful and very knowledgeable. My husband and I walked in here after just spotting it while still on the freeway. We had our furbaby with us (very small dog who we have to carry half the time because she's old and fat), so we were afraid we couldn't come in with her. Mary not only welcomed us warmly, but complimented our furbaby on being so calm and sweet (I carried her the entire time out of respect for the shop). This place has some AMAZING things; things which, if you're TRULY an antiques collector, you'd understand you probably won't see again in your lifetime. Not in as good of condition anyway. We saw some absolutely beautiful early American pieces. Mary was kind enough to explain some of the pieces' histories. So, is this place extremely expensive? For the average citizen, yes, probably. We didn't see anything under $200 during our recent visit. But if you actually know what you're looking at, you'd know that that's what these collectibles really go for on market/auction. They're rare. If you're looking for the kind of antiquing where you find extreme come-ups, you shouldn't be in SB lol, you should be in Ventura or LA. duh. So in response to many of the reviews for this place, doesn't sound like many of those people who were passing through really knew what they were looking at. As for the comments about the owner, I really don't know because Mary was more than kind to us and we actually asked to use the restroom too, and she politely explained that she doesn't even have one-- there's a public restroom right across the street. Also, this is Summerland.....you could probably just walk up the street and literally ask some person to use the one in their house and they'd let you lmao. A precious antiques curated attic is not the place to ask to use the bathroom imo, just saying. Anyway, Mary is lovely and so is her shop. If you truly love early American antiques, stop in because you'll love it.”
