The C Gallery for contemporary art is new to Los Alamos, CA at 466 Bell Street, right across from the post office. Having opened in August of 2008 by Connie Rohde Stanchfield and Nina Rohde Brown, a mother/daughter partnership, the gallery is located 13 miles North of the Santa Ynez Valley just off U.S. Highway 101. The Santa Ynez Valley has become world renown for producing the finest of California wines. Coupling sophisticated art, antiques, and notable food offerings in Cafe Quackenbush, Charlie's Cafe and the Full of Life Flatbread Restaurant, the Old West township of Los Alamos is growing into a "destination" for travelers headed North or South on the 101. Los Alamos, CA offers several art galleries including The C Gallery, Morley-Bryant & Co., The Gentleman Farmer, and terramonary.
The C Gallery, features contemporary art, work with a "contemplative" edge. The "C" associations go on indefinitely from Gallery Director's name "Connie" to issues of ultimate life importance: compassion, community, continuity, clarity, convergence, courage and commitment. Let's not forget "chocolate."
