Important information about the Gallery that will play host to the upcoming Oct Exhibit - "Night Life / Day Life - Realism to Abstraction - An Exhibit of New Oil paintings by Riki R. Nelson" ...

The Los Gatos Company gallery, is a different kind of venue.. for fine art in Los Gatos. It is single store, privately owned fine craft & gift gallery that ADDITIONALLY has almost ALL of it's substantial wall space dedicated to rich collections of original fine art paintings and sculpture, by a stable of high quality living artists, both local and international.

The Los Gatos Company opened over 15 years ago as an exclusively fine art and sculpture gallery, but found it unfeasible to have a dedicated fine art gallery in Los Gatos, so they branched out into upmarket crafts and gifts; continuing to show fine art, but focusing much less on it.

Recently however, with the closing of all but two art galleries in Los Gatos that feature fine art, the Los Gatos Company has become an important exhibitor and purveyor of local fine art, hosting ongoing exhibits of oil paintings and sculpture by multiple local name artists, as well as watercolors from an artist in Italy, and wood carvings from an artist in Africa. The Los Gatos Company is developing a reputation once again, for being host to some of the most exceptional fine art & artists in the bay area, featuring both the traditional, and the innovative. Supporting the arts, has always been important to the the owners of the Los Gatos Company, and they are looking forward to all the exciting new things their enhanced fine art gallery section will bring.
