Local artist always have an understanding of the area that can be captured beautifully. Learned that the front room is rented by multiple artist and the back room rotates monthly whomever rents that space? It's a nice collaborative place. Everyone was nice to us. I purchased a small piece that is of Princeton By the Sea for $25. My husband picked up a print for $20. They had original art, prints, postcards, jewelry, glass art, photography, wood, mouse pads, etc.

This is the gallery showroom location for the non profit coastal arts league. It's a kind of co-op…read morefor local artists and members which is usually chock full of varied, local art displays. Parking is street only, and due to the popularity of some of the adjacent businesses this can mean you'll be a block or so away either on main or on one of the side streets. This is a medium sized space tucked away on the north end of a courtyard kind of space which usually has installations from a half dozen or so local artists. What you see displayed can be purchased and it's common for one of the artists to be in and/or around the building. It's staffed solely by volunteers who can be conversational but not necessarily well versed in the art. As they also offer classes inside typically the back part won't be utilized for gallery space but instead will look to be cluttered with whatever the last class left behind. The art rotates constantly thus no two visits will be quite the same. All mediums are represented at one point or another. On my visit there were paintings-acrylic, oil and watercolor-bronze sculpture, fiber/paper mache and some intriguing cloth pieces. Quite the varied experience really. If you live in the area, or are spending some time in town you might consider joining the art's league. There are a ton of member benefits including but not limited to: classes and workshops, free art screenings, meet the artist events, networking and most useful for those who are artists a consistent way to get your out in public view. Pricing is set by the artists themselves and doesn't appear to be negotiable in the gallery, but they do offer ways to contact the artist directly should you so chose. In an not quite entirely unrelated matter, the front desk/cashier has the keys to the public restroom next door, all you have to do is ask preferably politely. This is a good spot to browse for local, quality art pieces.

I have been to this art gallery towards the southern part of the Main Street retail district on the…read morecorner. Upon entering the gallery, right in the front wall were several pieces by local artist Doreen Maller. They were tiny pieces of humming birds and they were reasonably priced. It did not take me long to decide to buy 2 of her pieces that I can now place on my wall. These two pieces were so well done and give me a glimpse of what she sees while living in Half Moon Bay. They are done with painting encaustic style which I like. I would recommend this gallery as a must see. Local artists whose work is displayed take turns in managing the gallery. Walking in the back there is an open patio with a beautiful wysteria plant starting to bloom hanging off of the tiled roof. Then there is another gallery room to look at more art for sale.

Spanish town is one of our favorite restaurants in the old downtown. If you think the town is quirky, wait in till you see this little gem. It just feels comfortable being inside.

All of the other dishes are equally made authentically, and like your momma made it. The service is friendly, professional and fast. They have a off street parking in the back. The margaritas are the best in town.
