A few steps away from The Big and Juicy Grape is a wonderful place which triples as a Gallery, Art Studio and Community Art School with space for exhibitions, studio & supplies usage for party & events, after school programs, and art classes for adults.

Art Escape of Sonoma is right on Highway 12, about three blocks away from The Big and Juicy Grape. One day walking I saw its sign for the first time ever and I wished, big time, for it to be what IT IS!

As a self-taught artist myself, I can’t wait for the chance when I can have the time to answer one of their ongoing call to artists. They open their gallery space to exhibit your work along with that of many other artists and one of my dreams that has remained a constant since early childhood is that of being able to share my art. For now I am very happy to hang some of my drawings on the walls of The Big and Juicy Grape. I don’t have an art education and mine may not be professional looking, but I can say they do brighten and make our guest house quite cheery.

It is a fun place to go, and it’s definitely worth checking it out!

Come spend more than a few days in this beautiful Valley of the Moon, don’t spend a small fortune in lodging, instead, get a private and memorably comfortable stay affordably at The Big and Juicy Grape.
