A/NT Gallery is an Artist Coopertive gallery in area of Seattle Center. It is a part of the Seattle…read moreCenter International Fountain Pavilion. It's been around for a little over 30 years and going. Displaying all kinds of art, an artist can seek to have their work here. As a visitor, it's a nice free walk through where numerous types of art, mostly paintings are displayed. The woman who was overseeing the gallery on the latest visit was friendly and spoke about the gallery. She mentioned how artists, regardless of their training or background are welcomed to show their work. There is a Special exhibits gallery which has featured works of the period and a public benefit gallery which are I suppose for newcomers. The art displayed is purchasable and have the prices listed. If you have an eye for art and are hanging around the area, this is a nice little stop in. The Gallery isn't large, but there is quite a bit of work displayed within the space and I imagine it changes somewhat regularly. It's a nice community driven space.

My mother and I visited here as one of our first stop when arriving on Bainbridge Island recently, and we loved sauntering through and viewing all the crafts and art pieces made by local artisans. I especially enjoyed finding some pieces by an artist named Peter Koronakos, for example, who creates "oddball animals" assemblage pieces - my favorite on display being the "Squirrel with Hand Grenade". There was also a lovely Pileated Woodpecker carved piece by a Seattle-based artist named Mike Zitka (who, after I just Googled him, apparently has a feature collection currently going at KOBO Seattle - who knew!). Just some examples of the fantastic work available in this gallery. There's also a special section of the gallery that has for sale specific art and design books that the purchase of will support new material for the Bainbridge Public Library. How can you not love that?! All in all, it's a great, little gallery that I loved being able to support. Definitely stop by if you're in the area and show this local gallery - and the artisans that show their work here - some support. They deserve it. :)

Veronica did not disappoint! Not only were my questions answered, but I was able to learn so much about my planet placements and how I relate to the world. The session felt open and informative. Veronica really holds space and brings an honest and compassionate presence to the reading. Will definitely keep this on my list for future readings.

As someone who has had many tarot readings and other spiritual advisement over the years, I've always enjoyed having someone read my cards. For me, and for many who have a reading from Jess, it's nothing short of life changing! She's a coach, intuitive, spiritual advisor, and encourager! Book a reading with Jess and gain clarity, wisdom, and a smile- sometimes homework- and always something to think about!! She sees clients virtually all over the world, so wherever you are, book a reading! You will be glad you did!

It is abundantly clear to me how deeply Jess cares about the work that she does and how to make it accessible for everyone.

I highly recommend Jess for a reading, personal advising or any insight you've been looking for. 15 out of 10!

We stirred up the paint at Tapster with master artist Laura Blauman and it was way more fun than I…read moreexpected. As someone who hasn't lifted a brush since grade school art class, I was skeptical that I could produce art that would come close to resembling the example. I felt a bit stressed but mostly enjoyed trying something new in the midst of good drinks and good company. While the pacing was a bit uneven, Laura walked us through everything clearly, while also fielding questions and answering them satisfactorily. In the end, I would say everyone produced a nice looking painting, and it was fun to notice the different "styles" between people. I'm happy with my end result! Even if you think you don't have an artistic bone in your body, if someone invites you to this, I recommend giving it a try!

Astrology is good for predictions and timing of events, whereas tarot is good for gaining clarity and guidance on specific questions. Joy is very knowledgeable and intuitive and I would highly recommend a reading with her. This reading really helped answer my questions about love and life direction and the timing of upcoming events that will help me make some major decisions. It really gave me some clarity and peace of mind. If you are at a crossroads and need guidance with making decisions, I recommend an astrology reading with Joy. I am familiar with astrology and Joy showed me zodiacal releasing for timing of predictions. She also pointed me to other resources to learn more. All of this was very helpful and I would go back for future readings. Joy is not one of those readers who will tell you something like you need an energy cleansing or you have a curse on you and I can remove it for a lot more money. If you ever encounter that type, decline firmly and don't buy into it.
