Unbelievable that this gallery hasn't been more reviewed…read more Art is its own world where what is good is defined by a murky process made by people who went to art school, people who can converse in art language, people who have seen a lot. But forget that, if you like it, it's good! Danger though, the more you see, the more you refine your individual aesthetics. It can change. Kucera is a Seattle art champion and heir to pioneer Linda Ferris. If you are in the hood, the gallery is a must stop, if only for your art eye education of what you think is good!

I heard the space was once a bar and the countertop is beautifully placed. I remember this bar and a mini antique mall within the building before the owners took over. Dale and Phil, the owners are amazing and very knowledgeable about art and Seattle contemporary artists. If you're in the neighborhood, I encourage you to look up to see the beautiful brick architecture and look below to catch a glimpse of Seattle's underground. Grab a coffee at Cherry Street or Zeitgeist and head to Chatwin Arts. I promise you you won't be disappointment. So much of Pioneer Square has changed. The grand central bakery used to have amazing bookstores and metal workers and galleries. E Smith mercantile was on that block. At Chatwin you will get a sense of that nostalgia if you haven't been down there in a while.

Ryan James is one of the few true fine arts galleries featuring complex "modern, abstract,…read moreconceptual" works of primarily local artists. They close for a few days at the start of every month to rotate their pieces, showcasing different artists each month. They often repaint walls and/or repaint pedestals to match the aesthetics of the new arts being displayed. They also participate in the Seattle Art Fair yearly in July. Many of the featured works are contemporary, as though in the process of creating a new genre. If you enjoy pushing your envelope on art comprehension, this is the place to go. I visited back in June with my niece, who is an art student. We probably spent more time there than many other visitors talking through every piece - discussing methods, ratios, layouts, flow, vibes, and more. We were very drawn to the paintings of Kalina Winska. Her themes often incorporate weather patterns into her art - mist, drizzle, air flow, clouds, etc. We both chose the same work as our favorite - an abstract that looks like weather patterns complete with arrows in swirling random-like directions. It has the longest name ever. See photos. A unique feature of Ryan James is that they have an artwork rental library! For as little as $45 a month, you can enjoy different paintings on your wall. This art gallery is located on the ground level of Kirkland Urban. Parking is free underground for up to 4 hours with validation.

But more than just artist's lofts, Bemis opens up a few times a year to host incredible art events for locals. With tall, long, wide, white walls, the building looks more like a museum than an apartment building! And inside each loft there's someone making a living off of their crafts. Whether it's painting, sculpting or photography, it's so fun to come to the open house events, meet the artists, see their works and meet other creative people. In a dream world I'd be more creative and rent a unit here! Can't wait for the next event!!

The wooden floors, while showing their age, have a sense of history and charisma with this building. The walls were white, perfect for controlling contrast of what is being displayed on the walls, with the over head lighting array. The walls were adorn with various painting, photographs, and even glass arts. I found rice paper paintings to be impressive, translucent paper, which I think would be great on floor-to-ceiling windows. What was more surprising is when I found open rooms - which lead into the residential units of the artists. Large lofts with view of Seattle, large windows, and some lofts have a secondary level for a bed. In these lofts where the artists' themselves, it was good to meet them in person and speak about them with their art, and be inspired by them. Should I decide go full steam ahead and perform my career change into the creative arts, and I need a place to work, I will strongly consider working and displaying my art here.

When I arrived, what looked like the main entrance was locked. However a side entrance was open. One lady greeted me in a friendly manner and asked what brought me to the gallery. I let her know I saw a review that mentioned glass art, and she directed me behind a wall to view it. However, when I walked in the direction she pointed to, another lady very quickly walked up beside me and stood very uncomfortably close to me as I walked. I asked her if the glass art was behind the wall and she confirmed in a very unfriendly manner while still maintaining a very rudely close distance. When I saw the limited glass art behind the wall I asked her if I could take a picture and she had to think before she said in a very cold and thick European accent that she didn't know and I could find pictures online at the artists website if I wanted. I told her she was incredibly rude and I felt very uncomfortable. She tried to say that she was new so she didn't know while still keeping ridiculously close to me while I walked so I just walked out of the gallery. Don't waste your limited vacation time here. It put me in a very bad mood and it's out of the way enough and inconvenient with traffic that I really regret stopping by. I've stopped by a number of other galleries that were welcoming so you wouldn't miss anything by skipping this gallery.
