I love fun colors and a painting of something that I couldn't otherwise produce, but anymore I'm just not smart enough, or creative enough probably, to appreciate much of what's produced. We had some friends when we lived in the Midwest, whose parents owned an art gallery. It was fun to look around, but all of it was super high-end and the sort of thing that they would probably sell one or two paintings per month and be just fine doing. This art gallery, we found, was one that supports the local food bank and highlights artist from the area...Win-win! This gallery has a pretty small footprint, and is located on the north west corner of Tietan Square, in the town of Tietan. As an aside, this little town has done an amazing job of really fostering the arts in a place where they would otherwise be almost completely absent. The gallery is probably five or 600 ft.², with a large main room and a small offshoot. They display whatever artist has pieces to display, and also sell jewelry, greeting cards and other small art pieces. We were told that the places almost entirely run by volunteers and that the vast majority of the proceeds go to the local food bank. It's a really neat way to make sure that the food bank stays as stocked as possible. The cards here are all made by a gentleman who donates them in the proceeds go, again, to the local food bank. We found some pretty funny cards, as well as a number of them for other occasions. We can never find a birthday card when we need it so we figured we just pick up a few! All in all, this is a really cool little studio that supports the artistic mission of the community, and helps make sure the food bank has a relatively steady source of income. If you have a chance to check out this place, either just being in the area or for an event, It's well worth your time!

Seriously, if you want to find a quirky piece of art or a vintage chair, then this place is for you! My husband and I visited over 4th of July weekend and this little shop made my day. After picking our way through a few of somewhat junky and cramped shops, we decided to take a look in the shop with a jaunty painted Bob Ross Sign. We ended up having a great chat with the owner and found a perfect piece of art by a local Pacific Northwest Artist, Heidi Ellington. It matches our home so well, it's like it was made for us. The shop, with it's unique collection of art and kitschy gifts and its kind and friendly owner are worth the drive if you happen to be near the wonderfully Andy-Griffith-Like town of Prosser.

He did a great job and at no extra cost. Now it hangs in my living room. A few months later I went back to him to see if he could frame a 1941 class picture of Marilyn Monroe that had belonged to my grandfather who had gone to school with her. On the back of the photograph was her dedication to him. I told him to take his time, this was a very special piece to me, and frame it as he saw fit. When I picked it up, it exceeded any expectations I may have had. It was so spectacular I had to hold back my tears. He took such care in doing this job and had such great ideas. He is an artist and one of the friendliest people I have met. The photo now hangs in the entrance to my house where I can treasure it everyday. Thank you!
