I go to Cambria every year. I always walk around the town. For some reason I don't think I've ever…read morebeen in this shop. I'm glad I found it this year and decided to go in. I've been wanting a sweatshirt that says Cambria on it. I found one that I liked but wasn't the right size. The gentleman at the front greeted me and told me if I needed anything to let him know and that he can also customize things. I asked him how long it took. He said right away. But then of course the size I wanted wasn't in stock. Go figure. He offered to order it and make it and then ship it to me. I asked what the turn around time was. He said he would have it out by Monday. It literally took him 3 or 4 days and he shipped it out Monday. It was so fast! I literally got it two days after that. I loved the way it came out. I also did ask for something and he said he can do it but it won't turn out the best. I was grateful for his honesty. Their customer service was top notch! I will definitely be back to visit next year and see what else I might find.

As mentioned by another reviewer, the abundance of AI art in this gallery is appalling. Its…read morepresence in the gallery is an insult to the other actual artists who are actually worth anything at all. Even worse, the AI art is mixed in with the actual art, clearly in an attempt to trick potential buyers into believing the con. Even when it's put in its own section they label it simply as "digital art" which is obviously misleading. Adding to this, a lot of the AI art is "authored" by one Thad Markham, who on further inspection is the owner of the gallery. This is absolutely heinous. AI art isn't just digital, it's an algorithmic Frankenstein of thousands of real artists. AI art is theft, and it's incredibly disappointing to see it in a gallery like this.

We love to stop by the Home Arts gallery in Cambria each season to see what new art gifts have…read morearrived. Friday was a beautiful day to be at the seaside and to walk along that sidewalks of Cambria and admire the quaint and captivating stores. Now that Highway One is open again, Cambria is seeing a lot more traffic up and down the coast, which translates into a lot more traffic in town. Home Arts was no exception. We were greeted right away by the friendly owner, which always makes for pleasant browsing. The store had a delightful display of new merchandise with a light buoyant feeling. A lot of the merchandise is a beautiful turquoise or blue which would look perfect in a seaside cottage or just remind you of a seaside cottage when you take it back to the city with you. I loved the classical wood mirror surrounded by ceramic "wallflowers". The beautiful stained glass boxes and glass jellyfish dangling from the ceiling also drew my attention. I never fail to find a unique and impressive gift whenever I go there. My husband and I also collect Arts and Crafts tiles, and I was happy to see a whole flock of dragonfly tiles on disply. The store is showing more local artists lately so there's a lot of local talent on display as well as beautifully made furniture and paintings. One of the best features about this store is that the prices are very reasonable for such fine artisan craftsmanship.

I walked by a whimsical warrior statue constructed of welded metal outside the gallery, then strolled in. Two peasant girls in a realist painting in the doorway with a sign with the words, "stand with Ukraine" welcomed me into the store, and promised interesting work to come. I was also captivated by the bright design quality of the iconic smiley face and "Hello Kitty" assemblages made from 60's enamel flower pins. A hand worked wooden mosaic table by David Ball also caught my eye. Its curvy cylindrical shape and smooth mosaiced surface would be a stunning addition to any room. The Vault has been at the same location for thirty years, and is a proven cultural venue to the art scene in San Luis Obispo county!
