The hub for art in its many forms in the South Bay. The gift shop offers a wide selection of creativity in ceramics, glass, wood and fiber art. Bronze art and pictures in many styles, including artistic cards and jewelry. A great place to find a gift for that special person. Parking and admission free.

Most amazing food around! Brett, the chef, uses fresh, seasonal food and presents it in unique, delicious ways. Only open for a few hours a day, and not on Sunday, this is the locals' best kept secret! Not cheap but seriously, the BEST!

*updated for Sept 2022, they're still posting that they're checking vaccination status when literally no one else is doing this. CDC posted that masks and vaccines didnt work. South Bay Orchid Society, please find another venue. This is putting a huge wet blanket on coming to your events.

They discriminate against non vaccinated people. It's been proven that vaccinated people can still catch and spread covid the same as non vaccinated people, but let's discriminate and exclude non vaccinated people. Thanks a lot. Negative tests aren't enough. Seriously disappointed.

Do not under any circumstances take a class here. For one thing, this place does not at all serve those who use Access Transit to commute to or from their premises. What do they do if you take disabled transit there? They will keep your credit card on file and tell you that they have charged it and found that you have thirteen dollars to your name in your checking account. They do this while--get this--they hold a big expensive raffle to raise money by carrying rich people who live nearby them to rich people's houses who live right nearby them. And then--this is the best part--they include as part of their raffle a week in Sedona, AZ. Can you believe that? They can raise money for the rich and violate the Americans With Disabilities Act at the same time that they also apparently commit credit card and potentially bank fraud. There is a Citibank on Silver Spur Road right nearby. Is there a board member there by any chance--California does not know Dodd Frank, much less anything like consumer protection law or even whether or not one can collect by phone from a deposit account owner or a signer/signor--who helps this nonprofit for bad and badly played and even worse art to violate federal banking law? Somebody is helping them to do that from what I can tell. Don't go here. Whether you are disabled or not; you will very much regret setting foot on this place's premises. You may find, as did I, when I offered to buy coffees for those in Kim Kei's Wabi Sabi watercolor class, that nobody will even tip the waiter. And by that, I mean me. I mean, they want to drive up in their Mercedes Benzes and their Porsches and then what? You take a class with them and you don't share coffee. So don't give this place as much as a bad iced tea. No Long Island Tea, either. What does that mean? No art at this place save one photograph of something of Andy Warhol's in their eatery deserves any merit for any real art scene.
