Also just happened to visit a gallery the day before the closing date of the three artists, so they invited us to the closing! So much personal attention, and they took the time to give background on all the artists. Stopped by the store and meandered around the new exhibits until my artist friend found the perfect gift for an upcoming birthday! Will make an effort to come visit more often because the artists and exhibitions change constantly and they're is always something to suit every taste.

BAM = Beer, Art & Music, a perfect combination on a sunny afternoon. 18th Street was closed off to provide parking for food trucks & bicycles. I saw The Green Truck there, as well as Border Grille. 20 breweries donated beer from booths set up in a private courtyard flanked by galleries, where 4 bands provided live music. I only had time to stay for an hour, so I missed all the bands except Speedway (alone worth the trip from Redondo!). The event was packed but very well-organized. A bike valet was looking out for the crapload of parked bicycles. Maybe the reason I had no problem finding a spot for my car was because so many people rode their bikes. Beer and music were included in the price of admission ($35 advance, $40 at the door). All proceeds went toward funding spaces for artists to work & show their work.....a very good cause. The arts need support, especially in rough economic times. The festival attracted a great crowd. Despite all the free-flowing beer, people were upbeat without a hint of rowdiness. I love a good party on a Sunday afternoon and I'm guessing I'll be back next year when I will try to allow more time to hang out and enjoy the day.

There was a work of art that I had my eye on for the past few years. I didn't see it displayed, so I asked the person managing the front desk if it was still available. Fortunately, it was. He allowed me to speak to the owner over the phone regarding the price. The owner, Erica, was very pleasant and patient, and answered all my questions. She also gave me a discount off the work. Because there was LA county tax which had to be added, she gave me a better discount than the one she originally quoted to the front desk employee. It was especially generous of her, since I was a first time buyer and not a repeat customer. They don't bother you or hover over you at the Copro Gallery; you're free to take your time and browse. If you have any questions about a particular artwork; don't be shy, feel free to ask.

This exquisite little shop is a glass wonderland! The pieces you will find here are beyond magical!…read moreI couldn't believe how many amazing artist's works could be found in one place, and there is nowhere else I have been able to find unique treasures like the ones here! As stunning as the glass selection is, the owner, Adamm is a the true gem of this place! Knowledgeable, kind, and happy to take the time to share his wisdom and love of glass with his customers. He was absolutely lovely and delightful! I must also mention that I was honestly pleasantly surprised to find that his pricing is super fair and reasonable. I thought that a little gallery like his, especially in Santa Monica, would have to have inflated prices, but his were some of the best I've seen, even compared to pieces being resold online. My husband and I came in here on our anniversary and left with some divine little pieces that will always hold sentimental value for us! Adamm made the experience so memorable and special! I highly recommend this shop to anyone and everyone! If you are not already a glass enthusiast, this gorgeous shop will turn you into one! I absolutely love it and cannot wait to go back!

Three of the prints I brought in were from my friend Brian Viveros and extremely precious to me. He personally recommended I come here because it's now where he gets all his stuff framed. How could I not trust the artist himself? The staff were so lovely and knew exactly who Brian was, and recommended options in the styles he prefers so it would really pair well with the print. It took about a week and very reasonably priced for the amazing work they did. Parking is a bit challenging here, but I think just plan for that ahead of time. I went right at time of opening and got a spot right in front of the store. Happy to support a family-owned business and will continue to recommend them, and use them for any new artwork I acquire in my future.
