Fodor's Expert Review Christopher Porché-West Galerie
Bywater
Legendary independent photographer Christopher Porché-West operates out of this working studio and exhibit space. The atmosphere depends on the current focus and vigor of Porché-West's activities: sometimes it is more work-oriented, sometimes more formally organized around exhibits of his work or that of other artists. The gallery occupies an old pharmacy storefront at the hub of a hip block boasting restaurants, boutiques, and a yoga studio. Whenever the artist happens to be in, the gallery is open. You can also make an appointment by calling (he's almost always nearby).
