Housed in a former Rexall Pharmacy built in 1961, this nonprofit art exhibition facility boasts two unique show venues -The Janice Griffiths Gallery and The Salon Gallery. Since it’s opening in 1996, this self-supporting division of the Fallbrook Village Association has presented a wide variety of shows featuring works ranging from local to internationally recognized artists that work in sculpture, painting, printmaking, wildlife, gourd, glass, and photography fine art. It works towards the dual mission of providing our community and the region with a venue of viewing the fine arts, and providing young people the arts education often missing in the public school curriculum. The original lunch counter at the drug store has been transformed into the Café des Artistes, a contemporary restaurant serving fine food and drink with a Mediterranean flair. Browsers and collectors are welcome.
The Art Center is also home to Café des Artistes for your dining enjoyment.
