I get to feel the righteous glow of supporting local artists through a non-profit cooperative store. Be aware that as I write this the Yelp page, January 2, 2022, it still shows the gallery on Plaza street. The gallery moved to 334 Center street in mid-2021. The new space is larger, more brilliantly lighted and airy feeling. A fun place to leisurely browse.

Our docent Chris explained what this place has to offer and suggested we check out the calendar of events. She also mentioned they do a neat Holiday bazaar, where numerous vendors make exclusive items for the holiday season. Great gift ideas, one-stop shopping! It reminds of Yelp's nifty under fifty holiday pop-up in the East Bay. I have another place to go shopping for holiday gifts and this time in the North Bay, as if I needed another reason to come up to Healdsburg HA! Highly recommended if you're wine tasting in the area or having brunch, cheers!

I've seen a number of his works before at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento, but several of the pieces on display today were new to me--such a treat to experience different works up close. The gift shop is small yet thoughtfully curated, featuring items inspired by the current exhibit along with creations by talented local artisans. Admission is very reasonable, and students receive discounted entry at just $10. Donations are also warmly welcomed and help support this wonderful community art space.

My friend and I stopped here on a whim one afternoon, seeing their food-themed art gallery. When I…read moreentered and asked about admission I was told entry is free, though they do also have a donation box. In addition to the small gallery of (mostly local) artists, they also had some art pieces for sale. I was impressed by the quality of the work and fell in love with several pieces on display. Most of the pieces were also for sale, though nothing I would consider inexpensive. It's art, so you'll have to decide how much you like something and if you want to purchase it. It also seems like non-local artists could display work here if they were a member of the center. Maybe I should look into it! Really nice place to stop for an hour or two. Highly recommend it.

A remarkable idea to contribute part of your land to help songbirds. How specific!…read moreIf I were a songbird I would never leave. From their website: "NSCC is dedicated to the conservation of native songbirds through rehabilitation and release back to the wild, educational outreach, and community engagement. We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, supported entirely by donations and volunteer staff. We are licensed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and the California Department of Fish and Game. Each year, we care for approximately 1,000 songbirds of 70+ different species. Nearly 80% of our patients are received April through August, the Baby Bird Season. We provide life-saving care to injured and orphaned songbirds seven days a week, 52 weeks a year. Our goal is to restore our patients back to their full health and return them to their free and wild lives. We are a specialty hospital for native songbirds. We are the only wildlife rehabilitation facility in Northern California dedicated exclusively to the care of native songbirds. Most of our patients are received from our Sonoma County community, but we also serve the entire greater Bay Area and beyond. As a specialty hospital for native songbirds, we receive patients transferred to us from partner organizations in 11 other counties from Santa Clara to Mendocino and Sacramento to Sierra. NSCC is known for our gold standard of care and rehabilitation techniques for songbirds. As a diverse group of species, songbirds require a high level of specialized and well-managed care. Every aspect of our facility is set up exclusively to support the needs of injured, ill and orphaned songbirds. Based on their age and species, each bird has specific requirements for care, diet, housing and release back to the wild. Focusing our expertise on the rehabilitation of songbirds allows us to provide the best care possible for this unique group of birds and give them a second chance to return to their free and wild lives."
