Almost 30 years ago, a quartet of gentleman antique dealers—Robert Garcia, Bruce Tremayne, Philip Stites and Walter Zolezzi—joined forces with a single goal in mind: to supply the absolute finest collection of European antique furniture and decorations in California. With galleries in San Francisco and Los Angeles, their company, Therien & Co., features an astounding collection of museum-quality pieces. These men have impeccable taste and the exhaustive knowledge to match.

A.I.R. (Artists In Residence) Gallery was established as early as 1972, giving women a place to exhibit their work when few other venues handled art made by women. As a non-profit cooperative for 22 women artists from the New York area and 20 from around the United States, its goal has been to show quality and diverse work.
