Ive been living in Lancaster for almost 2 months now, and I never knew this place, nor the entire…read moresection of old town Lancaster existed. We came here last Thursday night for their open-mic night to support a friend's band. I was totally surprised at what a great place this is. The venue only holds a few hundred people (I'm guessing). The stage is pretty small, but the feel of it is like an old high school auditorium. I don't know much about the history of the place, but I get a good vibe. Its a good place to see bands play, because its small, you can get up-close and personal with the band, but still have the acoustics of a big venue. We're going back tonight for a show, I can't wait! ------------------------------------------------------- 'According to Linda Reynolds, the AV Allied Arts Association Board President, the center is home to 12 different artist groups who provide programs for children, an art gallery and theater groups and has shown art by local as well as nationally known artists. It also offers dance and theater programs to the community.' http://www.avnewstodayonline.com/LancasterPageAlliedArts.html

And I painted murals inside the shop. My artwork was carelessly dropped on the floor and broken (frame) and I was not treated nicely at all when I wanted them to pay for the repairs. The women who run the shop are rude and scary. I was renting a space there but I was viciously kicked out for no good reason. The only thing that I am truly upset about is this: I hand painted a large mural in the shop and I was kicked out so fast and so viciously that I did not have a chance to paint over it. And the president of the place managed to either somehow scrub off or paint over my signature. Of my art. There are a few nice people there. But mostly bad vibes. SHE REMOVED MY SIGNATURE FROM MY ART. Oh! AND! During an art show opening event, they put yellow caution tape across my booth and my friend's booth to prevent us from making any sales. And they tell customers they are doing construction. Not true.

Sometimes it's not just the framing! The word "Gallery"…read moredescribes a place for exhibiting and selling art but really it's so much more. For me it's the experience - the time spent looking, studying, and simply browsing a collection is worth gold to me. Chemers Gallery in Tustin is that place that offers that whole experience. Every time I go in there, which I admit isn't near often enough but probably more than some, I delight in "finds". I have a fairly decent collection of artwork and it's not confined to paintings. I've ceramics, sculptures, glasswork, pottery, photographs, and a few weird pieces of found object works as well. Quite a few of those pieces have come from this jewel of a gallery so close to home. The owner Karen, and her friendly staff have always allowed me the luxury to simply roam. I have to walk through numerous times to take everything in. I get distracted by one or two pieces and then turn around and find something else completely unexpected. And, it becomes mine. I love this place!! I am a retired healthcare designer and Chemers was the art consultant on a few of our firms healthcare projects. What I enjoyed was the chosen works were always different from the predictable works too often seen in healthcare spaces and, they always complimented the concepts of our interiors. I also love the shows and exhibitions they often host here. Often soliciting works from local artists, craftspeople, and even foodies, these "pop-up" shows are always good for gifts, wearables, and sometimes taste-ables! And if I'm lucky, I often walk away with a new piece! I always look forward to stopping in on these shows and could spend an hour or more perusing. Do yourself a favor and visit this gallery - oh, and of course, don't forget, they also do excellent framing!!
