Galleries
The barrio is a hub of creativity, with several art galleries to prove it. Along Logan Avenue, La Bodega Gallery hosts art classes for kids and offers free admission to most exhibits, and Chicano Art Gallery regularly exhibits work by local artists. Then on Julian Avenue in the century-old former Weber’s bakery building, Bread & Salt houses galleries, events, and studio spaces, and the new Alta Brewing.
