We walked in and didn't receive so much as a sniff from the proprietor. She never even looked up to see how many or who we were. Two laps through the joint and still not a peep or even a glance from the lady at the desk. Now granted, I don't roll through places with the perception of being J.P. Moneybags but I did see a couple items that I may have been interested in purchasing for someone else but I refused to beg for the opportunity to spend my cash. Sad face for you... I spent my tourist dollars at another purveyor of local talent. Try looking up on occasion and you may sell a trinket or two. Bottom line: Nice pieces, poor customer service.

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!!!

When I let her know that I had planned on buying jewelry, she informed me that I should have interrupted her phone call. I told her I didn't think I should have had to do that. "I'm doing BUSINESS!" Was her reply, and then, "BYEEEE!" She alienated a local who wanted to purchase local art. I won't be walking through the doors of Gallery 9 again. Sadly this is how local artists are being represented on a beautiful Sunday afternoon in PT.
