The art gallery is all paintings and prints, mostly from artists outside the Chico area. Beautifully done and displayed very well.

My girls always remember their first class with her where she read them a book called "Ish".

If you don't like glass items you will be bored. We were not bored for a second. What we really loved was the man who may be the owner who knows everything about hand blown glass. I love glass vases. They also have glass nick knacks, not for me, but maybe you. Orient & Flume produces fine art glass. All their work is signed. They have iridescent and crystal clear glass. The vases are stunning. Take care of them, they are expensive. Nationally acclaimed for its excellence in design since 1972, they have won some awards and may even be in a gallery or two, I am not sure. I just know that the service was great. I got a wonderful vase and am a happy camper.

Visually, it was lovely to see musicians with cool art in the background, although the art on one of the walls to the left was sort of lame.
