ArtZone 461 Gallery

great gallery!!!

I came here to see Gage Opdenbrouw in the Main Gallery and Jose Ramon Lerma in the side gallery. The show was paired and curated by director Steve Lopez. The contrast between young Opdenbrouw’s huge canvases filled with arboreal imagery and Jose Ramon Lerma’s decades-​long career working in collage and assemblage was sublime… well done!
Opdenbrouw is one to watch, he’s beyond talented and dedicated to his art. Lerma has been on the scene for over 50 years, and should not be missed. I heartily recommend you support artists like Gage Opdenbrouw, and you definitely need to get in there and purchase some art by Jose Ramon Lerma.
No really, definitely! Go!

ArtZone 461 is an eclectic art gallery located in the Mission district. It is run by three personable, generous, and knowledgeable men. On very short notice, we put together an event for a children’s art program, and the space was perfect for our event. Rent for the space was extremely reasonable for our three hour event, and Steve, Mark, and Antonio went above and beyond to have the gallery set up perfectly for our party! They greeted guests, helped the hosts, and made sure that the event was flawless! This is more than just a great gallery, if you need a unique space for an unforgettable event, this is just the place to rent! I cannot recommend ArtZone enough!

I shall agree with the previous posters. The artwork in there is fantastic, I especially liked the wealth of local art (ists). Needless to say, I am neither an expert nor a collector.
However, Eric at ArtZone 461 could easily turn me into me one. His appreciation for both art and individual can clearly be felt as soon as you walk in. And as you walk out you do it with a big smile — wondering where you could hang that great piece on the left wall…

This place may very well be the best gallery I’ve ever been in. The work which they showcase is interesting, but what really impressed me was the attitude of the owners. Most galleries tend to be a little on the stiff and uncomfortable side: Everyone in there expects you to know what’s going on, to be impressed, and if you’re worth their time, to want to buy something. Not so for these fine folks.
As soon as you walk in, they’ll say hi. If you look interested in the work, they’ll make sure you know everything you want to know about it. If you seem interested in a certain style, they’ll point you to where you can find more of it. They’re not there to enforce a certain type of culture, or to intimidate you into either buying or leaving. They’re there to help, to teach, and to be your friend if you’re interested. It makes me happy.
