About Gallery House

Gallery House was founded in 1958 as part of the Palo Alto Consumers’ Co-op to provide holiday sales of local artists’ works; however, within two years the members established a permanent venue to show their works on the peninsula. Gallery members include painters, sculptors, printers, ceramicists, jewelers, photographers and mixed media artists who exhibit in styles ranging from photo-realism to impressionistic to abstraction, demonstrating the wide diversity and high quality of local artistic work.
