EAFA Gallery This Month

Most recently, an article in the Seattle Times en-courage the public to visit the Design Center (See: "Seattle Design Center Becomes Art Gallery Magnet" by Michael Upchurch at http://seattletimes.com/html/thearts/2020663483_seattledesignreviewxml.html. In fact, as a direct result of this article, we had several visitors the very next business day checking out the art venues and EAFA Gallery!

Our current show is the EAFA Open Juried Abstract Show. Now in its third year, this show is proving to be one of EAFA's more successful events. Opening night was well attended, and our juror June Sekiguchi's lead us on a wonderful and informative curatorial gallery tour of the winners she had selected and reasons why those selections were made. We have 1 sale pending and 1 sale confirmed thus far. In addition, one of our artists was picked up by an art agent after opening night. EAFA Gallery is proving to be a real opportunity for our EAFA artists!

May has our Members Only Juried Show. EAFA Gallery resumes regularly scheduled rotating exhibits of member works beginning in July. As an EAFA member, you will be invited to participate in these rotating exhibits with calls for entry coming out about one month prior. You can also check the EAFA website for information and calls pertaining to EAFA Gallery. EAFA Gallery – we're there for you.
