Are you an artsy soul? Do you get excited around art supplies and design products? Then I most assuredly have a fun shop for you to visit. Hunkered down in the foggy inner avenues of the Richmond District, is Park Life. This shop is many things! It’s an art gallery space, contains fun arts and crafts supplies and home décor that will jazz up your home. I’ve always been a fan of their fun t-shirts. A lot of them have local themes and concepts. My favorite shirt of theirs is of an otter dominating a Rubik's Cube. Get the idea?
There’s much to enjoy about the space. Bright white walls allow for the art pieces and merchandise to pop out at a patron, aptly allowing them to picture that fun art book on their coffee table and that colorful framed picture on their wall. This small independent gallery is unique and allows locals to not travel far to feed their eyes with some great art. You’ll always find something that speaks to you and your style. The owner, Jamie, chooses art shows in the back room that bring the community together; often representing diversity with the hopes of drawing in a wide audience. Do yourself a favor and check out Park Life. Its unique and playful style always brings me back and has been a go-to favorite local shop.
