They also have a lot of signing events, which is pretty cool! Really appreciate that they have a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff are super helpful and take time to chat with you and give solid recommendations. Been to other stores that feel very judgey and just want you out ASAP. Collector's Paradise is the complete opposite. Layout is nice and spacious giving room to browse. The sections by author took me a while to get used to. Good selection and I love that authors randomly drop in and sign copies (and the store sells them at face value).

The guy practically pushed me out the door said it's gonna be at least 100 bucks. I said that was fine then he responded to me saying it's gonna take 3 to 4 weeks. I said that was fine. I asked if I could see what a custom frame would look like he stated come back. There were two employees in the store and only one customer and I would've absolutely waited. I was like I just wanna see what kind of custom frames you have the gentleman said go to Michael's I responded but you guys do custom frames. The gentleman responded. Michael's does customer frames too. This place is a joke and I never ever give reviews. I would've spent $500 on a frame. Maybe I just had a bad experience. Maybe the place isn't what it used to be.

It was a wonderful soirée with a nice crowd turnout. Comfortable. Creative. Friendly with artists, intellectuals and local patrons.

As the premier and only real art gallery in the Northeast San Fernando Valley...this is as good as…read moreit gets. You guys & gals really need to visit this gallery. They have been open for a little over a year and almost exclusively showcase art from Valley based artist. They tend to rotate exhibitions every 1.5 months and kick off each new exhibit with a reception (wine + cheese). There tends to be a pretty diverse crowd from all over the LA metropolitan area. My favorite art exhibit so far has been the "Best of the Best of Mission College" which opened last Summer. Karen Nichols, the gallery curator/owner and former public school teacher, identified various art students from nearby Mission College to showcase their work. The exhibit included video installations and other contemporary pieces from up & coming local artist. Currently, the "Urban Places: The San Fernando Valley" runs through March 20,2010. Entrance to the gallery is free. There's sufficient street parking and various public lots behind the gallery and on First Street. The gallery is located behind the Coldstones Creamery.
