What to do and see in Wine Coast Country California, San Luis Obispo County: The Best Museums

Artifacts Gallery represents the country's leading artists, both in sculpture and paintings. We have a unique blend of art, sculptures, gifts, jewelry, glass, and garden decor. We also have a custom frame shop for all of your framing needs. Established in 1993, Artifacts Gallery is a large, fine art gallery owned by Thad Markham, in business at this same address for over twenty years. We are located in the historic coastal community of Cambria, California, midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco. This small village (population 6,500) on the unspoiled Central Coast is nestled in the Monterey Pine forest along spectacular Highway 1. We're serious about art, but that doesn't mean art is always a serious business! Our gallery is a welcoming space with art consultants who treat everyone like a new friend. Our well-informed, friendly staff has one mission: to help you find the art you love that will make your home a beautiful expression of your personality.

Mission Gallery is a Fine Art Gallery specializing in original prints by artists from United States and Europe. In addition to an enormous and varied selection of hand made prints, the gallery also carries a variety of both domestic and imported hand-made craft items. You won't find any photography or reproductions here - the gallery is dedicated to printmaking by hand - and by living artists. Events include special printing demonstrations and opportunities to meet the artists during receptions. One or both of the owners are almost always on hand to discuss the printmaking techniques and how each particular artist works. It helps to make a more personal and lasting connection between the artist and the buyer! Along with their regular business hours, private appointments are available - and encouraged! Hours: 11-5 Thursday through Monday, and of courde the website is always open!

Located on beautiful San Simeon Bay, the Coastal Discovery Center offers interactive exhibits and educational programs which highlight the cultural and natural history of San Simeon, California State Parks, and Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.

Protecting these special places preserves them for use and enjoyment for generations to come.

Ephraim Pottery strives to be the modern incarnation of the traditional artisan guild. Though our roots are in the American Arts & Crafts revival we work together as artists to create timeless artwork that is classically inspired by our natural surroundings yet thoroughly modern. The Cambria gallery is a dream come true for our Wisconsin based studio. Come see our work in person!
