Citysearch Editorial Review. Every surface and shelf in this Eagle Rock gallery and gift shop is stocked with cool contemporary art, from paintings on skate decks and fence posts to mixed media folk art and "Creepy Dolls" that could give you nightmares. Don't miss the adjacent studio, where you can marvel at giant mosaic skulls or sign up for a private lesson. A large selection of jewelry comes from artisans in Argentina and includes one-of-a-kind pieces like bold, hand-tooled leather cuffs, delicate sterling silver and gemstone jewelry, and wooden rings for $1. This is a great spot to pick up a unique gift, be it a leather handbag, yerba mate and bombilla set, or Frida tee in kid sizes. The best part? Prices are reasonable, making it easy to support local artists that include everyone from up-and-comers to seasoned pros. The gallery's monthly openings are a favorite neighborhood event that sometimes feature music and food trucks.
