I went to see a few friends show their work this month, and was taken aback by the gallery. Mike and Candace have done an amazing job with the space they own, and the way they display their artists' work makes the whole experience super fun and unique. Every nook and cranny of the warehouse has something interesting, and i feel like I'm walking through a labyrinth of personal expression. They also have DJs spinning, live bands, or just random music playing throughout. It's also very close to a lot of bars and restaurants off Harbor, so spend some time checking out this place before hitting up your favorite pub or restaurant.

From canvas paintings to photography. All paintings range from $60.00 to $2,000 Edward B Synder Has many accomplishments such as film actor, voice-over artist, Animal Portrait Artist Here is a little history on the gallery. In the year of 1939, the Art Association respectfully constructed its permanent gallery on Painter Avenue in Whittier. It is truly remarkable that after all these years, the art gallery continues to stand strong and serve its purpose. With a dedicated team working collaboratively, this art gallery remains vibrant and continues to thrive. Mabel George Haig was a highly esteemed artist and writer. In the year of 1934, she was the major co-founder of the Whittier Art Association & Gallery as it still stands today. It was respectfully built to be an art gallery, although it resembles a house on the exterior. Various events take place here, providing artists with a platform to respectfully showcase their life's work. 30% of the sale of each artwork or art piece, whether it be canvas style painting, cards, or jewelry for sale. 8 car parking behind the art gallery as well as a back door entrance. Plenty parking on the street. Restrooms are available.

That is, unless you are a bit of a snob and actually care about what in my opinion are minor elements such as acoustics. What really matters is the quality of the installations. It must be noted that bad acoustics for example, can actually lend to the success of an installation anyway. My review will be mostly of the current "Touching Them Touching Me" installation. I did not get to see the installation that was going to happen later on on the evening but there are pictures of the main room where it was to be held here. Elizabeth V. came along with me this fine day I decided to check out Pho 87and also since I am a lover of the great and FREE art galleries in the Chinatown Arts District (CAD) which we checked out after the very tasty pho we had. I named this district the CAD! It has no official name that I know of. There are several galleries in the 900 block of Chung King Rd. and a couple between those galleries and Human Resources. I much prefer the art in this area to the art in the Gallery Row area even though The Hive and Crewest are great galleries. So anyway, Elizabeth V. and I walked by Human Resources on our way to Pho 87. There is actually a residential street where you can park for free and which you can use to visit Chinatown which is a really, really ridiculously cool place apart from its touristy notoriety. If you do not know that HR is there you will never find it as there is no sign above its entrance. What had me notice it was a young man dressed in the indie music style. I was wondering what that was all about but at the moment I was more interested in trying out Pho 87. After the pho and the galleries that I have visited before I noticed the same young man and remarked about that to Elizabeth V. who had enjoyed the CAD so much she said it would be good to find out if this was in fact a gallery. We talked to the young man and a guy that was chatting with him and found out that the place was in fact a gallery. The main room had many projectors in it which were facing in different directions. Obviously they were there for the installion that was going to happen later on in the evening. Then we walked upstairs and passed two flags draped on one of the posts of the staircase. The Touching Them Touching Me installation was pretty cool. There was a room with a mike and projected images behind it. There were seats for you to sit and take it all in. They were playing some really eerie music which went really well with the installation. In the next room there was a small bar. It looked like a real bar and what was really cool - as with many installations was that you could interact with it. By this I mean that you could touch it, walk into it and even grab a REAL beer from an ice filled beer tub! Now that's cool! There were awesome things to look at in this installation such as an antique bulb on an antique fixture and some candles on an antique candle holder. I love simple things like this that arouse curiosity in an installation. Very eerie by the way. The artist succeeded in creating that mood quite well. When we left we chatted a bit with the guys at the door and they turned out to be really cool. Sometimes you get real art snobs at galleries but not these guys. I definitely plan on coming back to HR! It's quite the hidden gem!

I went to a party at Duncan Miller Gallery for the launch of LARB Books, the publishing wing of the…read moreLA Review of Books, where I work as an editor. It was the perfect venue for a book party, a chic, spacious art gallery where we were able to set up a bar and a table to sell journals and books. The party was in April, in the middle of the gallery's Writers & Poets exhibition, showcasing dozens of rare, beautiful photographs of literary legends like Nabokov, Borges, Faulkner, and Joyce; Alice Walker, Margaret Atwood, and Joyce Carol Oates. This was a pretty wonderful treat for a bunch of book lovers and publishing people. I guess this exhibition is now over, but there's always something to see at Duncan Miller Gallery. I'd recommend it if you want to view some art, and maybe throw a nice little party.

A friend of mine told us about the Dr. Seuss art exhibit at Sarah Bain, so we decided to check it…read moreout. Truth be told, I was not initially awe struck about the idea of seeing art by Dr. Seuss. To that extent, I was still interested. I could not expect the experience I was about to encounter. Upon entering the gallery, the rare unorthodox taxidermy mountings were hilarious. They were colorful and gracefully obnoxious. I had no idea Dr. Seuss also created these types of figures. Although the mountings are replicas, they are created using original molds. The original mountings are made of paper mâché and obviously super fragile and rare. The mountings on display ranged from a couple of thousand to several. As I continued through the gallery, I immediately recognized several of Dr. Seuss's classic stories and characters, such as the Cat in Hat. I was transported back to my youth and remembered positive experiences reading with my parents. I was shocked to realize the impact this complex artist and author actually had on me. I found several lithographs that were affordable, but it was difficult to choose. The Sarah Bain staff was extremely helpful and knowledgable. Daniel provided interesting information and immediately emailed artwork dimension sizes to me. If ever in downtown Brea, you must stop at Sarah Bain Gallery and take a look......it's free!

Near the back of the main entrance, there is a free rotating gallery currently showcasing the Travelers exhibition. As of 7/25/26, the main exhibition features mixed-media works by local artists. I really enjoyed the curation! It felt intentional and flowed well, with multiple pieces from the same artists displayed throughout the exhibit. I appreciated that the artists' labels included their Instagram handles which makes it a lot easy to discover and support their work beyond the museum! In addition to the main exhibition, there are a few smaller galleries. One is currently dedicated to Leo Fender inside the main gallery.
