seattle art gallery tour

on the first thursday of every month, seattle hosts gallery art tours in the pioneer square district.  since jason and i happened to be in eattle on that date, i just could not help myself. we had to go and "get it out of the way" for my summer in seattle.  we got there as it was starting and i was very impressed at the quantity of galleries that existed in this little area.  i am not sure i would have ever noticed them if not for this tour.  i think we were a little amazed at the variety of people enjoying the art.  we saw serious art collectors to tourists likes us to "hipsters" visiting their artist friends.  it was definitely all over the board.  the galleries also varied from small single artist spaces to large galleries that seemed to have more developed artists.  one of the shows even was of an artist from michigan!  some of the art was quite out there.  jason definitely did not enjoy it.  i would have loved to have spoken to the artist and found out a little more about it.  some of it was beautiful on first sight including a few massive wood hanging pieces of geometric proportions.

overall, i really enjoyed it.  i wish the artists had been more approachable in the galleries or at least stood out a little more (name tag, anyone?) from other people in the galleries.

time visited: 1
time visiting galleries: a little over an hour
overall: B+
