We are service oriented and offer high quality, outstanding value and service. Our experienced sales consultants have been with the company for many years adding knowledge and experience to assist collectors. We continue to maintain our reputation as a visionary art company.

Village Gallery locations in Laguna Beach, Irvine Spectrum & Lake Forest are optimally located to serve the needs of its area collectors as well as out of town visitors who come to California for business and pleasure. The company has a full service framing operation centrally located at its corporate headquarters and an extensive website for collectors offering affordable shipping worldwide.

Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Village Gallery started as a small gallery in Mission Viejo, CA. in 1976. In 1977, the gallery moved to a light industrial business park and advertised to a booming Southern California market. Over the next 35 years we expanded to as many as 9 locations throughout Orange County, Los Angeles and the San Diego Market. Throughout the years we have adjusted to the changing retail habits and economic ups and downs. We have evolved into a more efficient streamlined operation with a corporate hub that houses our framing production facility, our internet distribution and shipping services. Our two Brick & Mortar locations in Laguna Beach and Irvine continue to attract collectors from our wide market exposures as we build our business in the digital age.

Please tell us about Village Gallery.
We specialize in collectible sought after artists. We are unique in the respect that we have our own dedicated custom framing facility which is able to offer great design, prompt delivery, excellent workmanship and competitive pricing.

We are a visionary art company that has consistently been able to promote artists that have captured the interests of the collecting public.

We also have had employees that have been with us over three decades in our framing department and sales staff. This is a very unusual statistic in most small business. As a result our company has been able to maintain long term relationships with our clients for many years.

If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
At this point in our company lifespan we are very proud of our company culture. Maybe we would not have expanded at times in our history and focused more on the web. Maybe we should have focused on higher end artwork.
