This place kind of reminds me a little of Twist in Portland (in fact, they have some of the same artists' stuff here as at Twist) - lots of stuff I'd like to have in my home, none of which I could afford. Do the prices reflect the quality? In some cases, yes, in others, maybe not. But the true value of art lies in the eye of the beholder. So that's just my opinion. High-end work and, as expected, comparatively high-end prices. Definitely worth a browse, and if you have the ends, you'll probably leave with your hands full of some treasure.

Nominally priced, handmade and one of a kind...like all of the art in this very fine waterfront cooperative. I try to go by the gallery three or four times a year. My visits are as much about chatting with the artists as they are about looking at (or purchasing) art. Each artist is in charge of the gallery for two days a month. So...let me tell you a bit about what I know. The PT Gallery is not voted number one gallery in town. That distinction would go to Gallery 9 which is at the other end of Water Street. But the Port Townsend Gallery *should* win an award for having the most varied art available for purchase...probably in all of Port Townsend. On this visit, I found some unique lifesized "people" made out of various types of cloth. Absolutely amazingly beautiful. Spoke with the "cashier" of the day, who makes wonderful silver chain jewelery. And is also the coordinator for the local food bank. Checked out various paintings. Had I extra cash, I would have bought several...although I'm gonna need to put up some more walls in my house if I keep coveting paintings! The "garden" was open despite the mildly bracing weather, so I went outside outside to have a look at new treasures there. And, tah-duhh...there was the stone carved vase I'd been looking for forever. Only, I didn't even know such a thing existed until the moment it caught my eye. Its now in my stairwell as I have mentioned. Enjoy the Gallery. Enjoy its artist-participants. And if you really want to experience the place, plan to pass through on an Art Walk evening. The first Saturday of the month...refreshments served at the Gallery on Art Walk evenings aren't shabby either.

The gallery has two rooms. The day we visited, the well lit front had a display of art made from re-cycled/re-purposed materials. Very creative. It was with many artists mostly from the Olympic Peninsula area. The back gallery was a more the diverse collection of different media. All the artists are top shelf and not amateurish. My only complaint (selfishly so) is the lack of art photography (not the klitchy street festival kind). One or two pieces would be nice.
