We use color to renew and change the look of the gallery by painting the interior posts. Rotating work and changing displays throughout the gallery keeps the look fresh for regular visitors. It is important that staff instill a sense of connection with the artist for visitors, since the gallery is part of an organization with a mission of to educate and promote appreciation of visual art. The gallery manager is looking for unusual, contemporary high-quality Northwest artwork that is not currently represented in the gallery. New work is juried into the gallery through slide review quarterly by the Sales Gallery Manager and a committee of professional artists.
Artists price their own work.
High traffic months are during the summer and holidays. We get a fair amount of summer tourist traffic, but most of the clientele are locals. We have a reputation as a good place to find gifts and to bring visiting family and friends. We get a large variety of people from different income and education levels, with a fairly good percentage of retired people.
