The flowers have been blooming on my chunk of wall at ArtBeat, but soon the animals will take over!  If you haven't discovered this special place yet, please do!!  The gallery itself is wonderful, but there is also a boutique with unique products, all from local (and some national!) artists.  Great gifts!  If that isn't enough, there is a comfy wine lounge in the back that serves wine of course, but also beer, and local craze "Living Tea" kombucha on tap.  PLEASE check out their website for upcoming events--they offer such amazing classes, they host fun events like Comedy Nights, Trivia nights, and concerts, there is a hoppin' Open Mic on Tuesday nights, the list goes on!  What a treat to have such a community-connected wonder right in downtown Vista!
