The Compound Gallery is a (hidden?) gem of the Bay Area. It's *free* to enter/browse and there are…read morepieces here ranging from affordable to pricier. 1) I enjoyed David Fullarton's collection, "Everything's Getting Worse and I'm Not Helping," as well as browsing local artisans' pieces. The curation of this gallery feels cohesive. The pieces here are rich with meaning -- great conversation starters, so it's definitely an excellent place to bring a friend or two. 2) I wish I caught the name of the owner/director I met there yesterday -- he was so warm and a great host! It was my first time, and he took the time to briefly show me around the different areas of the gallery whilst entertaining my questions about the history of the gallery/its artists. He also shared upcoming events and exhibitions (artist talks, for instance), inviting me to stay connected! 3) Parking here is pretty great (I was at the gallery on the weekend). There's also a small park across the street -- great place to hang out and debrief after enjoying The Compound. I highly recommend The Compound Gallery -- I know I'll be back soon.

Artists beware!! The owners of this space are more concerned with taking your money rather than…read moreactually supporting artists. The lowest monthly fee is $250, and that's just to join the space (and access a teeny tiny cubby space to keep any personal belongings). If you actually want to use any of their equipment or facilities (which is the whole point of becoming a member) they charge you an additional $50 monthly fee ON TOP OF your membership fee. PLUS, there's a $50 fee to take any orientation class, which is mandatory before you're even allowed to touch the equipment. They even charge you to use their printers!! I'm surprised there's not a fee to use the restroom...You get locked into a minimum year lease, and then are micromanaged with how you use the space. With creative culture dying in the Bay in favor of Big Tech, what artists need now more than ever is an affordable and accessible space to create and build community, without a financial barrier. THIS PLACE IS NOT IT.

Sunset Printshop

This review is only for the smoothies... Read on…read more I've walked by this shop many times and never knew what it was or what they did until yesterday. There was a small table outside with 2 friendly gals asking people if they wanted to try delicious smoothies. I said sure and struck up a conversation. I learned that they regularly make fresh smoothies out of a nearby industrial kitchen. No sugar is added in any of their smoothies. They use the natural sweetness from various fruits such as bananas. Prices are fair, smoothies start at $6 for a small. Yesterday's options included a veggie smoothie with some fruits, so the color was green. The other smoothie was pink, probably from the guava. I also learned that this shop is now a co-op space of different businesses coming together. Great first experience. Hope to try your other smoothie flavors in the future. #3/2023

I wanted to get create some t-shirts for my dear friend who was having a major milestone birthday. My husband made some rad art I just needed to find a way to get it on shirts. Rather than go with one of the big online stores, which were honestly pretty dang pricey (and slow) I was hoping to support a local business. Trouble was, I only needed a small number of shirts, and I was struggling to find a place that would fulfill a custom order...and I was on a budget. Enter Amy from Electric Smoothie Lab Apothecary and Print Shop. She worked with me tirelessly to find a way to execute my order, while keeping it cost effective. From ordering the shirts to finding a way to keep costs down on screens and simplifying the art where needed, she was a true gem. The shirts were ready on time for my trip and everyone adored them! Highly recommend them if you need screen printing. While we were there we saw some of the other work they had going, supporting local schools, other fun events, and even custom designs. Excited to see this cool new business grow. Bonus points: Wasn't a bad drive from SF, Parking is easy and it's close to Paradise Park cafe (and James and the Giant Cupcake) if your toddler is too hungry to function.

Most of them quoted high prices, high number of shirts or an unwillingness to print on shirts that I supply. These guys were easy to work with, didn't try to over complicate things and were very reasonably priced. My 2nd order with them had some issues - it took longer to get everything done (although that was also partially on me b/c I wasn't in a rush and didn't light that fire under their butts). One printing of the shirts didn't come out very well - the ink had migration and was washed out and blotchy. I took photos and they addressed the problem immediately with a replacement order for me. The replacement order was perfect.
