North Coastal Art Gallery
"Accessibility: getting into the store is all flat ground. The door to enter is a single pull door but it was propped open. Inside, it is very spacious with plenty of room to make turns. No restrooms inside that I saw...the only restrooms I know of here are the ones upstairs on the second level (there is an elevator access across the hall from this storefront) but a number code is needed to access the restrooms.
Experience: as soon as you come inside there is a woman (maybe other times it might be someone else) sitting inside who welcomed my partner and I. The woman was super nice, answered all our questions and spoke with us for a bit about art. The art was absolutely beautiful and reasonably priced for a gallery! I have been inside many galleries and seriously this art is more affordable but still high quality. There were different mediums of art here such as acrylic paints, oil paint, woodwork, metal work, mixed media, photography and more. There were large pieces of art, medium sizes, and extremely small! Something for everyone you might say. :) my partner and I loved it here and felt very welcomed."
