“Great selection of a wide range of art in nearly all the media you can imagine, glass, wood, and ceramic sculpture, prints, paper art, jewelry, and much more, all at reasonable prices for quality craft!
Staff was very friendly and helpful, and it's obvious that they want to be there and enjoy their work!
Will be back soon for more treasures next time I'm in Berkeley.”

“I had several prints and posters to frame that I’ve collected over the years and what a great way to cherish history by properly framing them! It isn’t cheap to frame nicely and I wanted to pick a location I could trust.
Ash was so friendly and helpful with picking out frames, listening to what I wanted, and recommending varying mat colors.
I am so thrilled with the work that was done and all of the Nielsen employees were so professional, creative, and helpful. I will definitely choose them again.”
“Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. I got my camera sensors cleaned to remove a dirt spot. They had a quick turnaround time and did a fantastic job with my camera. I would definitely go back.”
“The Berkeley Art Center is a small community art gallery with rotating exhibitions of contemporary art mostly created by local artists.
The gallery is located within Live Oak Park, and is most easily accessible from Walnut Street. The main building contains a reception area with bathroom, door to backyard, and a main gallery. The gallery is a single room with a vaulted ceiling, so it appears quite spacious from the inside.
It's worth stopping by for the free exhibition if you are visiting Live Oak Park while the Art Center is open, but otherwise probably isn't worth a special trip unless there is an event. The gallery hours are limited to Thu-Sun 12pm-5pm.”

“Awesome group! This is youth helping youth ages 16-25 who are homeless find a tiny shelter until they can find permanent housing. They personalize and paint the tiny homes with murals and bright colors to add that little touch of life to make these tiny homes special.
For people living on the streets, they get to a point where they don't feel human and people don't care about them. Youth Spirit Artworks is here to turn that around by building life and spirit into the lives of the broken. Great work guys. You are making a huge difference for many out there. Keep it up! ????”
“Longstanding gallery supporting Bay-Area based, national and international artists. Rotating exhibitions featuring a wide range of works by both emerging and established artists. Spacious classrooms for adult and kid classes, including ample lounge areas.”
“I just adore Firehouse Art collective! There are so many interesting Artist doing different kind of work here. Really worth seeing the place when you can. If you're looking for a place to practice your craft, this would be a good choice.”
“This is a great shop in Berkeley with all kinds of vintage clothes for both men and women, a rad selection of vintage vinyl, awesome old cameras, and more. They host events and art show, complete w DJs spinning vinyl and vibes on point. Definitely recommend checking out this spot.”
“Dennis is The King. I always enjoy talking with Dennis about the Days of the Fillmore, Fillmore West, Family Dog, and Winterland.
I have made many purchases from his gallery and I trust Dennis to be a man of his word when it comes to the authenticity and quality of these items. Thanks for sticking around Dennis.

“Bought an excellent Sadao Watanabe print from them. Super professional, caring and attentive service with great attention to packing and delivery. Michelle deserves a special commendation. Highly recommended.”
“Love the pieces I have purchased from Katz Modern. When I return to California this year, I'll definitely visit the store again. I can honestly say, I've never been disappointed in any purchase that I've made there over the years!”
“Mike is a fantastic teacher! Took the beginner class tonight and I learned a ton of techniques that I wouldn't have learned from youtube videos. He focuses a lot on building a good foundation and good habits so you can have a better practice as you learn and start playing songs. The class flow was fun and I barely felt the 2 hours pass. I would definitely recommend attending a few classes. There's so much to learn and absorb from the simplest techniques.”
“Shibumi is a gem of a gallery representing a lineup of amazing contemporary jewelers. Their work is varied and exceptional, a curated collection that is modern, classic, and timeless. Stones, surfaces and designs are beautiful, and the attention to details like chains, clasps, ear wires and pendant bails is a breath of fresh air. Too often these elements feel like afterthoughts; in the work at Shibumi they are as important as the main event in a piece, resulting in works of art that have integrity and are a pleasure to wear.
April Higashi has done a great service by showcasing these artists and their work in a lovely brick-and-mortar location as well as online. Blending art and business is difficult, and she and her staff have managed to do this without sacrificing quality, creativity, and artistic values. They have fun and are fun to work with! Living on the East Coast I have relied on April and her staff to provide details about work that I like, and they have tried to bring it to life for me in photos, videos, and descriptions. Trevi Pendro has been especially helpful and delightful to work with.
In visiting the gallery I appreciate that there is a limit to the number of customers present at one time and an appointment is recommended. Of late they have had to institute more protocols to ensure the safety of the art, staff, and visitors. It's too bad that this is needed, but with the high value of precious metals jewelry stores have become targets for thieves. Don't feel intimidated by these changes; they are there for everyone's protection. Please continue to support this wonderful gallery and its artists. If you have never been there, plan a visit. You're in for a treat!”
“Helpful knowledgeable owner helped me choose the perfect frame for a Mandela I purchased in Nepal. It was the perfect frame for my piece. It was done sooner than I was expected and looks beautiful.
I highly recommend this shop for framing needs and will return if the need arrives”
