Times Description

This is one of the most cutting-edge galleries we've ever encountered, and it's a blessed edition to the blessed Bergamot Station. Patrick Painter arrived from Vancouver last year, and L.A.'s his for the taking. His space is simple, his announcement cards are simple, and if Painter had a better eye, optometrists would have to add a whole new row to those A-C-E pyramid charts. Highly creative stuff here; bring a sketch pad when you come. Inspiration guaranteed.

Visiting

The gallery is located in building B2 of Santa Monica's Bergamot Station, an eight-acre complex that houses more than 30 of the city's most prominent arts institutions. Bergamot Station is located at 2525 Michigan Ave., which is at the very end of the street. Hours of operation are Tuesdays through Fridays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Saturdays, 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (Some galleries have slightly different hours, so be sure to call ahead.) Free parking is available for all visitors; just follow the signs.

Dining and entertainment

For a convenient lunch spot, you won't do better than The Gallery Café, located in building A3 near the entrance to Bergamot Station. The menu specials change daily, offering a variety of food and beverages. To find other restaurants, you'll have to drive a short distance from Bergamot Station. Café Bizou is a popular California-French bistro chain that serves upscale cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere. L.A. Farm is another popular local restaurant that's ideal for lunch or brunch, offering French cuisine at moderate prices.
