Barlow Gallery is a a wonderful new fine art gallery in downtown Tacoma that features a diverse…read morecollection of original works of art from over 20 artists - locally and from around the world. Most of the art are paintings, but there are also sculptures, photography, jewelry, and even some furniture. I am one of the local artists, and I have been so impressed by how well they have treated me and all the other artists I've met. Their customer service is beyond anything I've encountered before! They work closely with both artists and customers to create a customized experience, unique to each person's needs. It's definitely well worth your time to check them out!! The artwork is frequently rotated, but you can see their full collection by clicking on each artist on their website. Anything you would like to see in person, they'd easily arrange. They also host a solo artist exhibition each month with lovely complimentary food and beverages. It makes for a great date night!!! You can find the dates for each month's exhibition on their home page. Barlow is honestly a wonderful place to visit - there's nothing else quite like it in Tacoma!!!

My friend referred me here when my beloved furchild, Howard James, passed away earlier this year. I…read morewas devastated to say the least and I wanted something special made with some of his ashes that would bring me joy whenever I saw it - something I could have out all the time. So on the way to the ocean we swung in here. I was prepared with some ashes in hand and was warmly welcomed by the owners. I was ugly crying and struggling to describe what I was looking for, but they were compassionate and helpful and let me have all the time I needed to make some decisions while simultaneously talking about how amazing Howie was. They helped me pick out the perfect pieces to create to honor him - I ended up with two glass votives and a sleeping glass cat. I got to choose the colors and sizes and styles. And they are beautiful. Honestly, the glass I received a couple weeks later was beyond my expectations. Little pieces of art that bring me joy and warmth whenever I see them or light a candle within. I couldn't have thought of a better way to keep his spirit alive than this, and I am so grateful for Opal Art Glass for taking the time to create something so perfect and meaningful to me. Now that said - they do ALL SORTS of other glass creations and art too (ornaments, bowls, yard art, figurines, pendants, etc) and they are all beautiful and unique and the prices are fair. Truly a wonderful place to stop in for some gifts or art if you're around. What sets these guys a part from all the rest is they care - they care about their customers and care about the quality they deliver. You don't have to create something special with ashes, maybe you just want something unique created for a loved one, but regardless of what you're looking for they will help you find it. Thank you, Opal Art Glass!

The artist is truly amazing and really makes some gorgeous pieces you won't find anywhere else!
