Fulton Crossing Art Gallery — Attraction in California

WOW!!! I am amazed that we have this wonderful ART Gallery right here in Sonoma County and it’s so easy to get to… it right off the 101 River Rd exit in Santa Rosa and you head west for just a block.

Currently open on Fridays and the weekend, (and as a bonus to those (like me) that love mid-20th century art and objects, it’s adjacent to Janakos Antiques…another place I personally get some of my inspiration from.) Love this...

We love to check out art galleries wherever our travels take us, so we see a lot of them. What makes Fulton Crossing special are the quality and diversity of the art displayed and the fact that the space doubles as studio space for many of the artists, so you have a chance to see their process, and talk with them if they happen to be in. The gift store, Hopscotch, has a great selection of fun, well-made jewelry, art and painted glass - most of it a cut above the things we’ve seen elsewhere. Oh - and the antique store next door is...
