Winston Wachter Fine Art is a lovely gallery in Belltown. Focusing on 20th Century art and contemporary art, the gallery has a varied exhibit which includes ceramics, painting, sculpture, printmaking and photography. They also aide in the acquisition of these pieces and their maintenance. The gallery space dons an industrial decor with exposed pipe ceilings and stark white walls.
Another feather in the hat for the artsy neighborhood of Pioneer Square, just South of downtown, this gallery explores the culminating local art culture. Showcasing contemporary works in form of paintings, drawings, sculptures, light based works, wax art, chocolate art, interactive media and sound installations, this gallery has already created a name for itself locally and nationally. And the fact that this non-profit organization is owned and operated by a group of local artists (members) shows how progressive the burgeoning art is today.
