The 4word Art Gallery in the heart of historic downtown Salinas features the works of local artists in a beautiful vintage building which originally functioned as a mens haberdashy.
The Gallery is dedicated to building community through the arts and connecting Salinas-area artists to residents in a safe, welcoming atmosphere. We specialize in showcasing the talents of local artists in both solo and group exhibitions - often utilizing a common theme.
Here you will find a broad spectrum of art, from decorative to museum quality, from primitive tribal societies to highly advanced civilizations. A leisurely browse will satiate the desires of serious collectors as well as students of anthropology and those who are merely curious about the art of other peoples. This is a fine collection showing art and architecture of Africa, New Guinea, India, Indonesia and Thailand in addition to other cultures.
For the unexpected, the exotic, the unique in primitive art, furniture and decorative accessories, stop for a memorable visit at Anderle Gallery. For the truly adventurous, call to set up an appointment to explore our large warehouse, a journey well worth taking.
