Once you look at the space, the sales lady Simone will make it seem like they sell a lot of art monthly, that consist traffic is coming into the gallery, That the art shows are huge, also that they will advertise for you, but that’s a lie.
The people who manage this gallery are never here, never open the doors on time. The art shows are honestly just all the artist and family. No buyers, they don’t advertise your art.
There is literally no “buyers” coming in. The most you’ll see is two people who walk around for 5 minutes and walk out a day, if your lucky. FYI, 99.9% of the time they aren’t looking to buy.
The person who should be marketing is never here nor speaking to artist.
Honestly how this place stays open is because the artist pay so much for the space. They have over 40 spaces available to rent, each spaces starts at 600+.
All I’m saying is please don’t waste your money renting a space here. Simone will make it seem they will help you network, help you sell art and that this place is amazing but you won’t.
This place is just a big scam.
I’m a art fanatic, I believe all artist should have a space in which is viewed. I am in the gallery every day, for hours at a time.
Simone seems very sweet but don’t buy it. She is lying. I feel terrible for the people who came in recently that got spaces from her. The whole time she was selling and talking, all I could point out was lie after lie she was telling the poor artist. Literally getting their hopes up for nothing.
This place is extremely disorganized and just terrible.
Also wish I could upload a video, but literally everyone left. This place was pretty much full. Now over 9 artist left 🤷♀️ Need proof? Check it out, on the right side. Come quickly, before they scam someone else to...

Read moreI was an artist presenting in this gallery. Of all 8 galleries my work exhibits in, this gallery handles the art in the poorest manor. They damaged two of my pieces beyond repair, failed to pay me for my artwork and one of the employees took or sold another piece claiming it did not exist anymore. They are arrogant, self absorbed, and the chances of you finding a piece of artwork for your space that is not damaged in some way are genuinely, honestly, quite low. Paintings are stored against each other ( Oil to oil ) in a cramped and tiny space with a piece of red cloth being their only protection from their mindless employees who jam them into any vague spot in the closet. If you love art, do not shop here. So many other great galleries in Laguna that treat their artists with respect and courtesy....
