My friend was nominated for Mother of the Year. We wanted to honor her by coming to her celebration. The food, entertainment and drinks were spot on. The food was catered by Garza's in Sanger. It was yummy and plentiful. The current exhibit is so unique. Everyone should visit this local gem.

I have been here two times that I can remember but this last time, was such a great experience. We came during Art Hop and it was Dia De Los Muertos and it was just fabulous. All the variations of displays and art and work that was put into this was just awesome! The staff was great and very informative, and I would just love to see what they have for other occasions. I also came here when my cousin did a speech for a women's conference of sorts and that was set up completely different, but still in a way that encompassed the message they were trying to portray. You feel empowered coming out of there and it really gives you a new perspective.

What an awesome place. They hold special live music events on friday night in the summer. They also have awesome art. They run off donations and super friendly volunteers. So bring your lawn chair and go listen to some awesome music. Plus they always have delicious taco trucks. They serve super affordable refreshments too. Family friendly place!!! Don't forget to like their Facebook page because they give free tickets away sometimes to their events. In fact their currently raffling off a car or you can take 8000 in cash instead all for a 5 dollar raffle ticket!!!! See ya at the next concert yelp land

I sent them a message on Instagram & several of my artist friends have too also attempted to, but this gallery doesn't even look at plenty of talented small artist here in town thay are Mexican. Not even the time of day it's very sad to me to give this review but I'm being very honest vulnerable & translucent. It's suppose to be like a Mexican gallery but they only exhibit certain echalant... I'm a self made artist and I'm very proud of my Mexican heritage, my moms from Michoacan , I have some of that Purepecha in me & I would have LOVED to be given an opportunity to show case my heritage there even for a few hours but nope. I guess I don't meet their standards etc or they already have a click? But they don't give many ppl an opportunity. Or at least the Artist that I know... & thats several that can back up what im saying... if your the gallery could you pretty please give me a chance? Even outside? I don't see why not? This gallery gives certain vendors a chance?

This FREE art gallery is rarely promoted in guide books which surprised me a lot because its amazing, its one of the best kept secrets I'm guessing (and a must visit), because its really nicely done and well exhibited - (something like the Getty in LA) with interesting and gorgeous work of art displayed - mainly hispanic inspired art or artist, but there are also other art, plus the gallery surrounded by historic buildings, which makes it a great pit stop after visiting the many historic building in Fresno. Open 11am to 5pm on Thur-Sat and 1pm to 5pm on Sun. Photos are allowed inside and out. The parking is also very easy to find here (have their own lot plus street around the building) and its FREE. The art gallery is not mega huge or anything, but its not small, it takes you probably 20-30 minutes to look around, they have at least 100- 200 different collection of art, and the best part you could also visit their gift shop and get some souvenirs and maybe some art for your home with reasonable prices. The art pieces changes all the time, but my current favorite is the spirit exhibit, really interesting pieces that captivates the mind. They also do have sculptures and other exhibits that brings variety. Plenty of seats inside too. Furthermore, every Friday 8pm to 10pm (do check their website because i might be outdated) they have a live music and dancing performance- mainly hispanic but its not ghetto or anything, its pretty classy and open to all demographics, and I have seen people of many races attend this fabulous event, this is an amazing outlet for anyone in Fresno looking for a fun and lively thing to do on Friday and its only $10.

Mariposa has been my home for 10+ years and I wouldn't live anywhere else. I love driving through…read moretown and seeing happy tourists from around the world. I don't blame anyone in particular for the housing crisis. We are all just trying to scrape a living out here in the sticks. Anyway, downtown Mariposa is a heartfelt spot, and a time capsule of California's history, with nary a street light. Most of the town is easily walkable. We do have parades at certain holidays. Then there's the county fair at the end of summer, and the car show in October. The shops themselves offer a great variety of gifts, whether they be Route 66 or Yosemite paraphernalia, toys aplenty, Coast Hardware, a fair trade clothing store (Anahata), art gallery, wine tasting, craft beer bars, and more. Food options are plenty. The Pizza Factory has an all-you-can-eat lunch special. There's a BBQ joint that recently opened too. Boba tea, ramen, burgers, and fancy dinners at Savory's or Charles Street Dinner House. Down the way a bit, across from the cozy Mariposa History Museum are two local titans of burger joints, which happily co-exist Happy Burger Diner boasts a massive selection, offers senior (55+) discounts, and features an outdoor section with a couple of simple kids' rides and air hockey. 1850 next door sells savory burgers and a vast menu of excellent local craft beers. Check local schedules at the welcome center, or the bulletin board at the High Country Health Food Store. This lovely little store has a wide selection of healthy foods, supplements, and cafe and restaurant, fresh produce, and just about everything you need. Rite Aid is across the street, and beyond, PDQ, which has the self-powered car wash and the laundromat. Forgive me if this sounds like a rushed tour. The historic courthouse and library are also must-sees. Friendly locals will be glad to point you in the right direction, should you need anything. One last thing, the tire shop by the post office provides excellent and prompt service. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Everything you could ask for, but not too much of any one thing-- cute and walkable with nearby…read morenature and lots of options. I observed a handful of reasonable thrift and antique stores, lame tourist traps that sell rocks and minerals, a few manly steakhouses, a little diner, dive bars and upscale bars, a few mediocre Mexican joints, a couple little art parks and a significant public park up the hill. I walked around and popped into a whole bunch of shops and spent about an hour on the half-mile strip. You could probably spend more time if you're one of those people that's in the shopping. I really wanted to check out the bar, the Alley, but they I closed on Mondays and on other days they don't open until 4:00. Caught a cool wildlife talk at The Local Grape, a cozy wine bar. I did a little research and found an amazing hike, with a trailhead that is just half a mile from downtown. Check out the Stockton Creek Preserve. Amazing wildlife mural by Ink Dwell next to Grizzly Gas, can't miss!
