Felix Kulpa Art Gallery - Santa Cruz, California - Art Galleries on Waymarking.com

"Unlike most galleries that must rely on window displays, street locale or reputation to lure in the casual art fan, Felix Kulpa is recognizable to most Santa Cruz residents because of its fantastical outdoor entry. From Elm Street, one need only spare a casual glance to see a lawn full of giant metal dragons, a phone booth water fountain, a steel armadillo, and an assortment of otherworldly sculptures that tease the childhood make-believe imagination out of the mind. Walking into the garden of sculptures is like entering a C.S. Lewis or J.K Rowling story, where you half expect a band of little munchkins to appear from around the corner. What many may fail to realize, however, is that there is still a gallery full of local art waiting inside.
Felix Kulpa sprang from the efforts of Robert Fallon, who wanted to create a venue where he could show his own work and that of other local artists. After starting Streetlight Records on Pacific Avenue a decade ago, Fallon had some extra space at the back of the building for his startup gallery.
'Robert agreed to show the work of a graduate student before the gallery was even finished,' recollects Pat Waddel, a metal sculpture artist who helped Fallon construct the unique steel roof of the gallery and whose large works are featured outside."
