“Really interesting place! They have pieces for sale, some that are in a permanent collection, and classes available if you wanted to take one. Super friendly girl at the front. It was very well organized which is good for a place filled with glass on display. Making it easy to navigate without fear of hitting anything. You can also sit and watch them work in the 'hot shop' for as long as you'd like. If you want to buy pieces they are extremely expensive, however the artistry is outstanding.”
“The woman Mejuri (spelling?) is so kind and helpful! They have a great selection of pieces to paint and everything is clean and organized!!! 10/10 will come back :)”
“Got the last bit of my chest piece finished yesterday and after the whole experience, I had a great time! The atmosphere is so calm and so chill, everyone in the shop is incredibly nice.
All the artist's spaces are clean while also being decorated to their unique tastes (great to look around at when you're on a table for a few hours, lol)!
Seth was the artist for my piece and he was awesome! He was quick and responsive in every conversation, and willing to work with me and adjust to make sure the whole thing came together in a way I loved. It's been a dream piece for like 7 years, and he did a killer job!!
Overall, great experience and I'd love to get more done there—True Love is my go to!”
“If you're on the hunt for a combination of high-quality craftsmanship and originality, look no further than The Handmade Showroom. A massive selection of PNW goodies for everyone from coffee connoisseurs to mushroom enthusiasts and everything in between. A focus on sustainability is evidenced by their many products dedicated to sustainable living. The shop is beautiful and I could get lost in it for hours, with no shortage of inventory for all types of shoppers.”
“Wedding for our daughter. The space worked very well for our 130 guests. This area of Seattle has been cleaned up ( thanks to the new mayor) but still not like a winery wedding. Some homeless yelling at people walking past. The ally was rented but not used. The lighting and tables were not inviting out there.All in all a good setting for our family to celebrate!”
“It is obvious that Adrian is a master at his work and that he enjoys what he does. The community where the shop is located is luck to have him. I have been to the shop three times now, once for a repair and twice for framing. He has been a wonderful help each time.”
“This beautiful Black &diasporic artistic, and restorative healing community! Such great work to preserve cultural archives and their ongoing advocacy for equitable development land and home ownership. Check it all out! So grateful for all the wonderful events, talks and exhibits, and the enormous love and effort put into preserving this family home and truly, bestowing generational blessings. We loved this last year’s Walk the Block, and the recent screening of Simon Benjamin’s A Bolt from the Blue!”
“Apex has done an incredible job with all of my clients. They can look at a peice of art and know exactly the frame style it needs. They take care of arranging and installing art perfectly. My clients are always thrilled.”

7605 SE 27th St #105, Mercer Island“Sensational in every aspect. .....but I'm prejudiced...Im the owner. We have a 40 year celebration coming up and hope to continue to enjoy a business that we love. We are grateful for all the wonderful customers who have become friends and continue to share their good experiences with their friends. We feel badly about the one bad review and realize it was a bad experience which we still regret having happened (several years ago and Im still concerned).”
“Went for an intimate local show with Tobias theOwl in this beautiful gallery. Owner is warm and welcoming and I will definitely be back!(It's also 4 buildings down from my favorite tapas place-added bonus) The art was a variety of 50 artists over 50 and I loved pieces from each artist I saw! Gorgeous backdrop for music <3 Thank you for sharing your space with local artists! ?”
“Equinox Studio had an Open House for Xmas presents. I enjoyed seeing the numerous Artists, Metal works, Iron Art for Burning Man. I saw Nobi and The Force perform too. They were at the Summer Open House too. There are more Artists here than in Pioneer Sqr's Artwalk here in Georgetown. They got some crowds but more people go to Pioneer Sqr monthly. There were a few Food Teucks there. They had two Bonfires. But at least it was not rainy hard to watch the Live Entertainment.”

1003 1st Ave, Seattle“Really cool artwork! Interesting perspective. The artist is a super awesome guy and helped my boyfriend and i get custom hoodies with his artwork on them! He was even able to ship them to our house!”
“It's an erotic art gallery. I haven't been in too many but the folks here were really nice, and the art was interesting even when it wasn't a swipe right for me.”
“Absolutely AMAZING destination for anyone who CANNOT be pleased with a standard gift! Handmade goods priced with the artists and the customers in mind, I don't think I could recommend this place MORE! Everything is kept clean, stocked, and the workers don't hesitate to let you know about the stories attached to each artist, if you want to take the step outside of just a "plain" shopping experience. Their website is gorgeous too! But the store experience is worth it, if only because you can see and hold and learn about the pieces in a really cool way. Absolutely 10/10 unique and irreplaceable part of Pacific Place!”
11AM - 6PM
1915 1st Ave, Seattle“I was very excited to find out that someone was putting on an open exhibition of Michael Kenna's photos. Then even more so that they were having him in for a book signing. The location was easy to get to via public transportation. The staff were very nice and engaging.”
“A Seattle institution, founded in 1976, and located in a charmer of a brick and mortar in the historic Georgetown neighborhood, sharing opposite sides of a space with Georgetown Records, Fantagraphics is a great place to visit! Full of art,history and just plain fun publications, readers of all ages will find something cool.”
10:30AM - 5:30PM
212 3rd Ave S, Seattle“I have come to expect the unexpected from the Greg Kucera Gallery, though I expect find my favorite artists here! Awesome space and supremely focused on what is important - the art. Easily the highlight of my trips to Seattle!”
“Really great exhibit with kindergartners drawings imagined into clay by high schoolers. The lady working was a real gem, good natured and we all left with positive vibes.”
“Fabulous anchor gallery to the Pioneer Square art district. One of my favorite art spaces in the city with a fabulous roster of artists. Phen and her team are very warm and knowledgable.”
“Lots of cool little things in this shop. Pricy, but great quality. The woman who has rung me out a few different times has always been really sweet. I also like that they sell Blackwing pencils individually. Everywhere else sells Blackwings in expensive packs.”
“I love that they support local artists including teens! There is always something new to see here. I'm always so excited when they have a new show theme! I love the small craft / handmade / small business earrings they support- every time I wear a pair I've bought from Neplantla I always get compliments and people wanting to know "where did you get that"?!”
“My niece hosted her 30th B-day here. Nice place, The art there was good but unfortunately not in my price range. Great place to have a party at and thank goodness they have 2 bathrooms.”
“Stumbled across the auction house and set up my account. Super easy to bid, the invoice arrived the next day and I went to the business and picked up my trinket. Pleasant staff and easy to deal with.”
