Don't forget your local coffee shop or café. I've ppurchased a number of pieces that I saw in coffee shops that I patronize. Support your local artists!

Lost Art Salon on South Van Ness. I believe Apartment Therapy SF just covered it during the Designer Showcase. You have got to check this place out. Great one-of-a-kind pieces at affordable prices. That's actually one of its motto's.

Jen Bekman's 20x200 project sells original art by good photographers for $20. http://www.20x200.com/

And I second the Ugallery idea. Great source for new artists.
