Not only is second Street art walk about visual art, it is also about performance art! There were…read moreat least four live musical bands last night as well as a DJ at Shaun Diamond Plaza for your auditory enjoyment. If you have tried to come to the art walk and not seen much art, you need to explore a little bit harder. Several of the galleries are actually underground and you have to enter buildings to gain access. Ask any shop owner about where the galleries are, and they are happily to direct you. If you're looking for family, friendly options, usually the area by Shaun Diamond Plaza is nice to hang around as you eat food from the vendors and food trucks that come out each month. There's also Cafe con Libros, a local bookstore with lots of children's books and friendly staff. The best time to come with family is the second Saturday closest to Dia de Los muertes (Nov 1) were you are likely to be able to see live Ballet Folklorico on the east side of Gary on 2nd Street. Kids can also come dressed up if it's before Halloween and often shop owners will be giving out candy. Sometime in the fall, I believe there is a chalk art contest, which is always fun to participate in or observe. The most festive time of year is of course second Saturday before Christmas. There is an ice rink in Shaun Diamond Plaza. it's also a wonderful time to support local entrepreneurs and artists who are selling everything from live plants to clothing to jewelry to other fun unique gifts for the holidays. My favorite time to come out to second Street art walk? Every Month that I'm free that evening!! Last night we brought our daughter who is home from college and her college friend. We had a great time! We even had a caricature artist across from Shaun diamond Plaza for people who want to have a unique piece of art to memorialize the event!!

Pomona Art Walk *February 14th, 2026…read more*11am- Saturday *4 Stars Environment: *Street Parking *Several Small Businesses *Up and Coming Area Food/Drink: *Food Vendors Stopped by Pomona Art Walk after seeing online that they were hosting a Lunar New Year celebration. I was pleasantly surprised by the turnout. There was a solid crowd for such a small area. The festival highlighted various cultural traditions, including lion dancing, traditional attire, and festive foods, which made the event feel lively and engaging. There were also several small vendors set up around the main event selling trinkets, artisan-made cups, handmade glassware, woodwork, and other unique items. Plenty of food vendors were present as well, though I'm not sure if that's typical for the regular art walk or specific to the holiday celebration. My group wasn't able to stay for the later evening portion of the event, but it's definitely something we'd consider checking out in the future.

Really enjoyed our visit here today. It is a gem in Claremont's downtown Depot -- the Lewis Museum…read moreof Art is small but packed with thoughtfully curated local and regional art. The historic train station setting gives it charm, and the rotating exhibits make every visit fresh and intriguing. Perfect stop for a creative weekend afternoon wander.

Cute tiny museum with nice staff!…read more I think entry is normally $5, but they're doing a "pay what you want", which can be anything. I think $5 a fair price considering the museum's size, though-- it's more or less just 3 rooms. To be honest, I didn't like this current set of exhibits that much, but that's probably just a matter of taste. It's also located near a lot of other cool stuff in Claremont.

I suppose things have changed a bit since then, especially in the world of art. There was a time…read morewhen the styles, colors, and movements I admired were dominant, shaping the way I understood creativity. Artists worked with familiar techniques and mediums, and the galleries I visited felt like they followed a certain rhythm. Over time, though, the art scene evolved. New forms emerged, digital tools became central, and experimental approaches took the spotlight. Even the way people engage with art feels different now--social media, virtual galleries, and interactive installations have transformed the experience. Looking back, I'm struck by how the art that once felt timeless has become a memory of its era, and how the ever-changing nature of creativity reflects the world's constant motion.

It is your choice on how big or small you want it and how you would like to paint it as well. Just note that you should not paint the bottom of it so when they can bake it, it will be ok. Overall the session was fun and yes your hands will be a little messy from the clay but you can wash them, inside of the studio towards the back. I came with a party of four and all of us came with something unique and different. I would do this again and can't wait for my next projects. Oh yeah, you will not get it right away you have to let it stay a few days and they will leave it outside with a locker code so you can pick it up anytime after it gets baked in the oven.

The Chino Hills Downtown Art Gallery is a great gallery that showcases a myriad of community art from local artists of all different ages and backgrounds, with some being able to be purchased at different prices points. Art from local competitions were also showcased. Paintings, photographs, and sculptures made up the diversity of the art. On the particular day we visited, programs that supported artists that were accessibility challenged were featured and it was also a great opportunity for us to learn about these great programs. In addition, the people volunteering at this space were also incredibly friendly and informative. I highly recommend visiting AND supporting this area if you're looking for a reprieve from shopping at The Shoppes.
