Somewhat confusingly, the 3rd Street Gallery is actually located on 2nd St, but that's artists for you – never predictable. They're obviously doing something right here as this artist-run co-op has been going since 1978, making it one of the area's oldest galleries. There are several regularly changing exhibitions on here and they stay open late on First Fridays.
