Art in Wood
In Balboa Park, a group of adobe buildings comprise the Spanish Village. Among them, the Art In Wood Gallery offers a glimpse of 16-18 of San Diego’s finest wood carvings. Each piece that appears in the gallery—the gallery of the San Diego Carvers’ Guild—is juried by a committee that ensures only the finest of San Diego’s carvings appear in their gallery. Each piece is carved from domestic or tropical wood turned by the hand of the carver. Among the most unique type of wood to look for is that of the Avocado tree, which offers an array of colors unlike any others.

Located in the Gaslamp District inside the historic Sterling Hardware Building, Sparks Gallery showcases local artists from the city as well as those from Southern California. The works are primarily of the contemporary variety, however the gallery still displays an eclectic mix of media. In addition to art, Sparks Gallery holds events like metalsmith demos, workshops, talks and the owners also work in conjunction with the community to promote art and culture.
