For my recent framing job, the owner Brent worked with me on style and cost. He is framing a series of memorable family photos for a gallery style photo wall in our home. We are doing this in batches, over time. Brent's artistic eye is a huge asset. He is picking the frames with care to be stylistically congruent, but not identical, all while keeping the cost very reasonable. I bought all of my holiday cards and wrap paper at Hinge, too. One stop shopping! This frame shop is one of a kind. Such a pleasure to work with Brent in his classic style frame shop. Superlative!

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!!!

I've been wanting to check out the Vashon Center for the Arts for a little while and with the…read morewarmer months upon us and coming here on a weekend surely there will be some kind of activity here. While not exactly like a museum there is a small gallery that I found that you can go in and look at the art that is on display here. When I was here there were lots of vendors here selling all kinds of fun gifts of an artistic nature as well as a musician. But despite all of that it took up a fairly small space in the building. My guess is that the rest of the space is for some offices and perhaps an auditorium. This art center is right across (and diagonal) from the Vashon Mercantile so it's fun to just dump your car and visit the mercantile and the art center all in one foul swoop.

My boyfriend bought me a gorgeous necklace from here and I love it. The woman working here was really sweet and helpful and she didn't pressure us at all to make a decision.

Sure they…read morehave a few kids classes but like every other savvy money maker doing children-ish actives- they just cater to the task of making every adult involved feel like it's their class and not their kid's. It does things with the highschool- but where they could offer valuable help to high school artists they just do a show every year and have them bring friends in to look around the gallery and buy. Everything is so ceremonial and off center here. Obviously their lack of ability to actually enrich children through enrichment "camps" and "classes" is my biggest beef. What does a high schooler learn about getting their art out there when you throw a little party and then tell them they might get somebody to buy their art? Its cute and an ego boost- but all good artists know the ego isn't what art is about. Ego is always key on Vashon- it' like this place is a catalyst.

Best that can be said is not all of it is dreadful, a tiny portion wouldn't look out of place in a real city gallery, but most of it would look merely okay on the wall of a hotel restaurant. But I'll give the walk a good rating anyway because it's well attended on a warm evening, and people are in good moods and friendly. It's an authentic way to meet people, though if you're honest to peoples' faces about the local "talent" most will look at you like you're so darned rude. So put on a happy face, tell whoppers about how cool the art is, and make friendly. And be on the look-out for the face that silently replies, "You really think THIS shit is good??" so you'll know to laugh at yourself and say, "No, not really, this salmons, lighthouses, and seagulls on broken piers stuff makes us all look like The Egg & I hillbillies," and you may have just met someone who could be an intelligent real friend.

There was no pressure to buy, but such a feel good atmosphere to the store--I'd definitely want to support this local small business if I was ready to commit.
