Reviewed By DRo43 - Seattle, United States
This gallery is a gem. We have many fine galleries in Seattle, but none that moves my heart like this one. It has modern masters and emerging talents. Deep reverence and lyrical whimsy live comfortably side by side. It takes seriously the proposition that art is for everyone and not just those with deep pockets. So, whether it's 20 minutes or two hours, stop by. You'll find something you love and likely an interesting conversation besides.
