3 reviews for Distinction Gallery and Artist Studios
I LOVE Distinction.
I've taken a few friends here on opening nights which are always held on Saturdays each month.
They will change the Artist in the front room but other than that there are a number of studio artists who "reside" there...i'm not sure of the number of artists but i think it's over 20 resident artists there who open their studios and you are allowed to cruise around down and upstairs and check em all out. The owner/curator does have fabulous taste because I've never anywhere seen such a large amount of artwork, but all be of such quality!
The openings they hold are kid friendly as well. There is one room/studio upstairs caled "Just hana" I think? They have a craft table for your kids to make their own cards with stamps etc. fun for all.
Sometimes they will have musicians/band performing at their openings also.
I've attended 3 openings there and I don't even live near Esco.
The past event they had was an auction with 57 different artists and it was a chairty benefit...i was unable to make it...

If you like Juxtapoz magazine, you will love Distinction. Always great artsist featured, always. Drop in there then go to the Blue Mug down the street. Black Sheep Block Rules!
Some of the best shows in San Diego County in the last five years have been at Distinction--a small gallery and collection of artist studios in Escondido.
Melissa, the owner, has impeccable taste and a small obsession with urban--or pop, if that's what you want to call it--surrealism (I share that obsession). Check out the website and make the drive up to one of the show openings. You won't be disappointed.
