  • Thank you Sausalito!


  • Bubble Street Gallery is honored to be a recipient of the Love Sausalito Business Fund Grant. After re-opening our doors, we are sizzling with purpose and enthusiasm for re-connecting with our clients. We are vamping up and re-directing our outreach and marketing efforts as the times demand and we are investing in new tools to enable art lovers to visit us remotely, when coming to the gallery is not an option. Thank you Sausalito Chamber and all the donors.

    Thank you LoveSausalito! I am so grateful to be a recipient of the Love Sausalito Business Fund. It means so much to me to be recognized and to be able to pay my rent! I truly appreciate all the support from this community...over the years, and now in this surreal time. I love meeting and working with customers in person, at my little studio/shop, and hope I can still be here when this is all over. I am open for business, with all safety measures in place, but am also happy to deliver your orders curbside or local delivery. I hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

    I'd like to thank all the donors to the Love Sausalito Business Fund. I feel grateful to be a recipient of such thoughtful contributions. Studio 333 Downtown and Studio 333 Art and Event Gallery on Caledonia are honored to get the chance to continue supporting the work and craftsmanship of local artists, entrepreneurs and dreamers. I'm lucky to be a part of a community that cares so deeply.
