Sparks Gallery — Attraction in San Diego

We had an exceptionally lovely experience. We stumbled upon this local treasure a few hours before an exhibition opening, rsvp'd, and headed over.

The owner and staff were incredibly gracious, and the space itself was both open and inviting. The hospitality included some drinks and hors d'oeuvres before hearing the artist's remarks.

The artist was interesting, and did a Q&A after giving some background information. Her work had depth. The other featured artists' work was diverse in media and style. My sweetheart and I have different appreciations for artistic style, and we both found several pieces that spoke to us.

Definitely check this place...
