OK, so you’ve found your perfect home, and you’re ready to nest. How about some original artwork to fill your new pad with color and energy? Did you know the Seattle Art Museum has a rental/sales gallery of works by contemporary Northwest artists? You have the option to rent or buy works from the gallery. Renting art is a convenient and affordable way to see if you like a piece enough to keep it. (It’s also a good way to dress up a house you’re putting on the market.) You can rent some pieces for as little as $25 for three months.
The gallery’s next bimonthly show opens today and runs through August 27. The show, entitled Summer Introductions, features eight artists who are new to the gallery. Click this link to learn more.
And here are some other Seattle galleries you may want to check out.
Finally, The Wall Street Journal has some good ideas on where to find art, both online and off. Summer is a great time to scout out galleries, fairs, or auctions. Have fun finding what inspires you!
