Sometimes I\u2019ll peer curiously at the windows when I walk past.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today the door was wide open!<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inside, what did I find? Singer\/songwriter\/artist Shelbi Bennett and some of her beautiful artwork, which is being installed in the gallery for an exhibition that opens on April 1, 2026!<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brokers Building Art Gallery is the name of the place. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brokersbuilding.org\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">its website<\/a>, the gallery traces its roots to a grassroots artist collective that has existed in San Diego for over 40 years. Originally housed in the historic Brokers Building at Fourth Avenue and Market Street in the Gaslamp Quarter, the gallery functioned as a rare, artist-run cultural space embedded directly within the city\u2019s commercial core.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I learned the Brokers Gallery as it exists today hosts many events, including the monthly Open Mic Night, culture nights, live music, and rotating art exhibitions. Check out their event page by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brokersbuilding.org\/events-at-brokers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was a pleasure to briefly meet Shelbi Bennett, who I recognized from her past performance on KUSI television. Fine works of art she has created were going up on the gallery wall!<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019d like to visit her Instagram page, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/buffalobisonbuffalo\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here it is<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To follow my blog, find the \u201cFollow\u201d box in this website\u2019s sidebar.
