The artists who show here tend to produce works that seem innocuous, assemblages of paper flowers, nudes in chicken wire. But take a closer look. Those paper flowers? They are only acrylic paintings, with nothing three-dimensional about them. Those wire bodies? Look at the shadows on the walls behind them to see how the crosshatched wire casts what look like softly brushed pencil drawings. This place is a treat for the mind, as well as the eye.

Vermillion
Vermillion is a modern art gallery displaying interesting and unique creations of local artists. In the back of the gallery is a bar, serving both beer and wine. Sip on a glass of chardonnay, pinot noir or a nice cold beer as you take in the art adorning the walls. You can even take home one of the art pieces on exhibit for the right price. This is an ideal destination for art and wine connoisseurs alike.
Charles and Emma Frye arrived in Seattle in 1888. Throughout a 25-year period, they amassed an unrivaled collection (eventually more than 230 pieces) of fine art painted by both American and European artists, mostly from the 19th and 20th Centuries. A trust in Charles Frye's will made provisions for a free public art museum, and today, anyone can view the collection at no charge. Located on First Hill, the Frye Art Museum also includes the Gallery Cafe. Free parking is also available across from the main entrance.
