Art Galleries in Burlingame, CA

“This past Saturday I stopped by Studio Shop Gallery, I was in the area and and notice some paintings that caught my eye so I went back to view them.

Upon entering I was greeted by Monica and we talked about why I came in, and she explained to me the current exhibit was works by Roland Petersen who I found out is friends with one of my favorite painters Wayne Thiebaud. Roland is also 100 years old and still painting amazing works to date. I’m no art buff, but when I see something I like I go and view it. It was really cool to see these paintings in this space and the fact that it’s free and for the public to view is wonderful.

I also spoke with Stephanie the gallery director and owner and she told me that exhibits change every 4-6 weeks and I was surprised to learn that this place has been in business for 110 years in Burlingame and the oldest retail business as well, and family owned. I inquired about a couple pieces I saw by the artist Jung Han Kim and Stephanie filled me in on the artist and how he comes up with his creations.

If you’re a fan of any type of art form or seeking inspiration to create something, stop by Studio Shop Gallery in Burlingame on Primrose rd and check out the exhibits that are on display. It’s pretty damn awesome that we have a gallery like this on the peninsula that welcomes everybody inside to view it. Thank you Stephanie and Monica for talking with me about art and also taking the time to explain things to me as well about Roland and Jung. People like you two are the reasons why I will support the business and spread the word of Studio Shop Gallery.”

“We asked Andra Norris Gallery to use their space for a cocktail party. They were quick to respond, send over an invoice, and make sure we were set up and ready to go. Once we arrived, Andra and her staff offered to help us get set up and graciously offered their trash cans - this was not their first event. They had music playing and the space created a wonderful ambiance. Guests were so happy to be in the space and it uplifted the whole energy of the event. Amazing staff, art, and space and incredibly affordable. Thank you to Andra and her staff for a wondering evening!”

“I happened to randomly pop into Kerwin Galleries for the first time a few months ago and it immediately became a great resource for adding beauty to my home and life. I have three pieces now that are a joy to look at everyday. It’s also a fun place to just poke around and enjoy all the variety of what they carry, in a relaxed, low-key environment.”
