Here are some images from the December 3rd , 2016 art walk here at GCS Santa Ana. Jouvon Michael Kingsby painted live, Madestff came through with art and his booth of merch. KRAY, Nerd Bird and Ana Jimenez were also featured artists for the night. And the most sincere thank you to JROZ for coming through and blessing the gallery with a lively performance.
Feb 2nd, 2013. GCS was proud and honored to host this very special artist, designer and all around man of many talents Kray Sudderth. His prints are amazing and the mixed media installations were very impressive. Make sure you follow this guy, he is always producing new and exciting items. And did we mention he is a master printer and custom skate deck king.
May 3, 2014. Heres a look back at our May 2014 art walk. A collection of GCS veterans. This exposition brought together pieces from 4 or 5 different previous art shows here in our gallery. How many can you name? 
JAN 3rd, 2015. GCS hosted our annual “$50 and Under” open art show during the january art walk. This year marked the fourth year throwing this art show. We learned early on in the process that the art walks in january have two strikes against them. It comes close to the New Year holiday and after everyone has spent most of their expendable income on Christmas gifts and merrymaking. So we figured the only way to combat that is to open the show to lower priced pieces and try to invite as many artists we can to participate. This show is a great way for our customers and students to have their work hang in our gallery for the first time. And it also allows veteran artists to do a little ‘studio cleaning’ and let some pieces go at a lower rate than usual in order to get them into a new home. At well over 100 art pieces, this was a well attended art show and more than a few pieces found new owners. We are always happy to do this show, it allows us to create new connections and showcase new talent. If you are interested in participating in this or any other art show, stay posted to our Facebook or Instagram accounts for announcements and calls for art. 
In celebration of the November Art Walk and Day of the Dead, GCS presented “Bringing Out The Dead II”. An art show that brought out different aspects of life and death and the beauty that comes from both. This was the second year that this theme was explored and it was just as impactful as the previous show. The roster included some artists that are familiar to the GCS audience as well as a few new names. It was non-stop crowds all evening long as the night coincided with the “Noche De Altares” street festival two blocks over.

The show opened to huge crowds being that the November Art Walk coincided with the Noche de Altares street festival taking place a few blocks away.
