There is a second floor that you can only access by stairs, but even if you cannot get upstairs, there is plenty of beautiful art to see on the bottom floor. Please be careful if going up and down the stairs because the handrails are a bit wobbly and unstable. Experience: this gallery is WAY bigger than it looks from the outside. Upon entering, you can turn left and go enjoy their bar, or you can turn right and enter a world of art. A lot of the art here is a darker theme, but some of it isn't. The art is mostly paintings but there are some small sculptures and photo art. I also learned they have an escape room you can play, but I haven't experienced this one yet!

Never knew about this place until today. I walked in a little after it opened and was in awe with…read morethe unique artwork I was seeing. This is not your typical classical, safe paintings that you see else. No these paintings have an edge, a uniqueness about them which I love. I thought I needed to go to LA for this type of stuff, but seeing it here in Escondido was refreshing. There's an upstairs too which has the artist's personal room they paint in which I thought was cool, some were open and other's were closed. There were plenty of paintings show casing their work. If interested in any of the pieces you just tell the guy working at the front, and mention the artist's name, and title of the picture. As I walked back downstairs I told the guy I was there to pick up 2 Victor Roman art pieces (Miss Green & Miss Mirren), and a August Williams (Paris). My husband contacted him and told him I'd be there. The guy grabbed my pictures, I was very pleased with the quality of the pictures. You can pay by pay pal, cc, or cash. I paid with CC and was e-mailed a receipt promptly. I can't wait to go back and bring others along.

I strolled into this gallery while visiting San Diego and it was absolutely fantastic. The owner,…read morean artist name Viz displays and sells artwork from artists he finds fascinating and his own personal work. One artist who is being displayed prints all his photographs onto a type of metal that means the picture will never fade and stay vivid forever. This artist travels the USA taking photographs all over and then printing and selling the work. (Can I do that too? Hehe) Viz's work began with a doodle. He doodle in his free time and then started adding other images into the bigger doodle. His artwork is incredible and you have to see it to understand what I mean. I'll attach a few photos below. If you're in the area, definitely stop by this shop.

I have been into art my entire life. I have works on display at a local coffee shop so when I come…read moreacross a new and different artist it truly sparks my interest. While attending Fiesta Hermosa (09-02-2013) I came across Viz Art Ink Gallery and artist Gregg 'Viz' Visintainer. Gregg is an amazing artist / amazing person and has actually been a guest speaker at the TED conferences. Gregg is a self-taught artist. Gregg has a very unique style of drawing. Like many other artists (including myself) while in school, instead of doing school work Gregg enjoyed doodling. After graduation Gregg took some time away from art but thrust himself back into the artistic world by creating a work of art called 'Lonely World' which took Gregg 3 months / 250 hours to finish. Viz Art Ink is all hand drawn using gel pen / ink. From afar there is a main image but up close you will find hidden pictures, words, messages and a lot of meaning that relates to each theme. Gregg & Viz Art Ink has been picked up by Element skateboards, Volcom, DC shoes, Gregs Skateboards, Skin-It, Grateful Dead, Falken Tires & Disney (Yes, that Disney). I do not believe in allowing artists to starve so I ended up picking an amazing T-shirt of one of Gregg's prints. The piece that I picked up was a depiction of Japanese art of The Great Wave off KanagawaI with a rising sun in the background. I am very pleased with my purchase and planning on visiting Gregg's gallery in Carlsbad to checkout more of his works of art. People like Gregg and Viz Art Ink is what keeps Fiesta Hermosa going. Make sure you set you the dates in your calendar and make sure you attend Fiesta Hermosa next year on Memorial & Labor Day weekends.

This review is for the 'Mother's Day Weekend Art, Garden & Studio Tour' which is hosted by the San…read moreDieguito Art Guild/Off Track Gallery. I hope this review helps someone who is thinking about doing the tour. My mom and I enjoyed a wonderful day out touring 8 home gardens in the Encinitas area (2026). (A couple of the homes were in Carlsbad and one was in Olivenheim, the remainder were in Encinitas). I purchased the tickets on-line prior to the tour and showed the e-mail at the first house stop, where we received a color printed booklet that would be our ticket for the remainder of the tour. The booklet had a description and photo of each house, along with ads for the artists. You also have the option to pick up your booklet at the Off Track Gallery in Encinitas. The drive between some houses was a couple of minutes, and as much as about 8 minutes for others. This is where your GPS comes in handy! You can follow the order suggested in the booklet. I had studied the map before arrival and slightly adjusted the order for our convenience. Curb parking was always easy. Many of the houses featured pools. Some had art studios. One had chickens and goats. Another had some garden art and a photo opportunity. Some had views to die for. All of them featured a variety of plants, trees, flowers, succulents, cacti, shrubs, along with art vendors selling their wares and a table of finger foods. The variety of art ranged from jewelry, paintings and ceramics to mosaics, photography and fabric arts. Prices started at about $10 and went up into the hundreds and everything in between. All the talented vendors were very friendly and welcoming, although we felt bad when we walked away without buying something. We also met a couple of the house owners who were interesting to talk to. The complimentary food included fruit, crackers and cheese, cookies, cake, chips, hummus, water, lemonade and more. It was lovely to graze the food and sit for a bit and enjoy the surroundings. The home gardens were open between 10am and 4pm. We started at 10am and finished about 3:15pm. This included one house that permitted us to also see the interior, which was a pleasant surprise. We also stopped at a local grocery store to use the restroom as only one home had an available restroom for use. I highly recommend this tour if you get a chance. It's a unique way to spend Mother's Day weekend and you may see parts of San Diego that you've never seen before. It was definitely an eye opener to 'How the other half live'! You do quite a bit of walking and 'in and out of the car', so by the end you're quite tired, but my 78 year old mom did it! Be sure to wear comfy shoes and sun protection. Some areas of the gardens do offer shade, but not all. The photos attached are from the 2026 tour. I understand the homes change each year. We hope to visit the Off Track Gallery at a later date as it was closed by the time we got there after the tour, but we could see wonderful creations through the window. Helpful?
