Viewfinder: Hunting for Treasure at Bazaar Gilman
This community marketplace on Gilman Street in North Berkeley is packed with trinkets and treasure galore.
Bazaar Gilman opened in February with the artsy Nicole Schach at the helm. The "community marketplace," as Schach calls it, is huge and its contents changes week to week. "It kind of becomes an art installment," said Schach, who is also an artist.
The variety under in the labyrynth of tents is astonishing, with everything from china tea sets and plants to an old jukebox, art, clothes, furniture and bikes. Most of the goods are bought from locals, a few are donated, and others are simply found in various places and integrated into the collection.
Bazaar Gilman is open every day except Monday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, visit Bazaar Gilman on Facebook
