With thanks to the late Paul G. Allen, Seattle Art Fair is the premier art fair each year,…read moreelevating Seattle's status in the art world with art galleries arriving from the world and from throughout the U.S. Past favorites and new jaw-dropping pieces arrive each year to stimulate or, in some cases, challenge the senses. The pieces vary significantly from traditional arts to new concepts. I LOVE going every year. Pay the admission, and enjoy it like a museum. Some of the (similar) pieces have made its way to museums worldwide, so there are decidedly top tier pieces here. This is an exciting venue to see a vast variations of art. Other than the arts for sale, they host multiple art-related talks throughout the event. Some of my favorites this year include: - Anthony James' specialized glass with LED pieces from Melissa Morgan Fine Art - Joel Amit's ombre blue metal dolphins to form a 'Wave' from Gefen Gallery - Preston Singletary and Raven Skyriver's collaboration on 'Wimahl' (Sturgeon) from Stonington Gallery The venue is the Lumen Fields Event Center underneath Lumen Fields. The tickets state bag size limits, but the limit doesn't apply for this event. The staff are helpful. The inside has two to three areas that sell drinks and snacks with seats to rest. The back corner has the bathrooms and water fountain. Parking availability depends on rather there are other events at the stadiums. Since the art fair is one night and three days, I simply go when the stadiums do not have events.

i visited soil yesterday following the opening of a three…read moreperson show that intrigued me. despite it being mother's day and a sunday, i was happy to see the soil was open and adhering to their posted hours. unlike other more pretentious galleries in the sodo/pioneer square area, this is a small space that may not be able to exhibit a huge quantity of large pieces but what they managed to hang was plenty to get a sense of the artists highlighted in this more recent exhibition. each artist had an "area" with a posted artist bio and multiple pieces. because each of the artists in this specific exhibition define themselves as latinx or chicano, i was particularly interested in how their stated ethnicities would provide perspective with which they would portray their chosen subject matter and for two of them three of them, i was far from disappointed! their works were incredibly interesting in terms of style, color, perspective and media they chose to work in. because soil small, whatever you're going to see is t going to require a long visit. i could see making soil a stop on a first thursday gallery walk. there were two people there when we arrived and they were great about greeting us but letting us look at the art without feeling monitored or pressured. depending on how you decide to get to soil, parking could be an issue. light rail would certainly bring you walking distance close, as would the metro bus. we took the water taxi from west seattle and then walked up from coleman dock which was super easy. there is on street parking in the vicinity but you may be hard pressed to find it on certain days or during certain hours. all in all a good experience and nice to know soil is artist-run. i will track other exhibits they have in the future and hope they manage to stick around for those of us who enjoy seeing art in non-aggressive gallery settings.

There were a few people inside who just stared at me as I tried the door and did nothing as I stood outside the door calling the phone number, which is just a recording telling you to email them. I finally had to repeatedly knock on the glass door to get even one of them to pantomime they were closed. Next time I see something at Soil, just going to assume it's not actually happening, skip getting harassed by the homeless folk outside the gallery, skip being treated like garbage by the folk inside the gallery, and find a friendlier more reliable gallery. I suggest you do the same.

They sometimes block the street and invite artists and crafters to show their work. They have a focus on the environment with their programs. I saw a show of sculpture fabricated from post-consumer waste. You can follow their socials to connect with their latest!

Located in Georgetown, the cute and brightly lit studio is close by an interesting antique store. After your done with the class, you can head over to see if there are any Antique Show-worthy items. Overall, the beginner's experimental class I took was a fun way to explore colors (in the safety of a patient instructor). The desks with paint splatter gave the place a welcoming vibe. It was definitely a stress-free environment. If I have another opportunity to take an art class, I would definitely come back to The Miller School of Art. You can tell the owner Mark Miller loves teaching, just by the way he speaks about it and how he gave unique feedback to everyone.

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.

Higo is the original shop owned and run by the Murakami family. This is one of the few businesses that survived the Executive Order 9066 written in 1942 with thanks to the non-Japanese friends of the family who owned businesses in the same building. Today, Kobo represents a new generation of local artists, selling gift items, crafts, tees, books, art, jewelry, and much more at varying level of prices. I highly recommend Kobo when shopping for unique gifts. When I recently visited, they had a glass artwork on display, art gallery style. It was also the yearly Nihonmachi celebration, and they had a table outside with an artist painting one of three designs on classic Japanese windchimes. I was thrilled to buy one of these adorable windchimes commonly featured in anime including Studio Ghibli movies.
