Is Five 3 Gallery a physical gallery?
Five 3 Gallery is a physical space. We we are located on renown Gallery Row in Laguna Beach, California. Across the street is the world famous Surf and Sand Luxury Resort that attracts many visitors to this seaside paradise every year. We have a panel of artists, art consultants, and curators who carefully select artists to be featured in the gallery, collaborative (group) shows, solo shows and on the Five 3 website. Artists do need to be on the website to show in the physical gallery. This is necessary because this is where collectors purchase the artworks displayed.
