After two years with Kaylyn at the helm of The Cats of Ballard, this year the show was opened up to other artists! Over 20 artists will be participating in this year's show, including many who are showing their work for the first time!

And beyond the outdoor cats and window cats you might glimpse around the neighbourhood, this year we're also celebrating some of our indoor cat neighbours, too!

Join us Saturday, June 13, from 6-9 pm for the opening reception! Meet participating artists, other cat people from around Ballard, and maybe even find art of your favourite Ballard cat on the walls?

Bits & Pieces opened this past weekend and is our biggest group show ever!

Featuring 37 artists, many local, our gallery wall is a full collage of beautiful and diverse collage works! There are so many different approaches to and explorations of collage work here; it's really inspiring! It was great to see so many collage artists come together for our opening reception, too. 

If you missed the reception, there's still time to come see the show! It will be up for a month, through June 11th! You can also browse the work in our online store.

Saturday was the opening reception and book release for this year's Stanza, our annual poetry and art collaboration!

The 2026 anthology theme was "growth," and features the work of over 60 creators from 13 states and 3 countries! Many of the included artists are local (and you can see their work on the walls!), but only a handful of the poets are -- and five of them joined us for the opening to read their work!

If you missed the opening, you still have a month to come in and see some of the original artwork! A few of the artists have also made prints available. The  full-color book is available both in-store and online!

Push/Pull is celebrating the art of collage this May with Bits & Pieces! Opening night of the gallery is May 9th.

​Art submissions are due April 1st and notifications will go out by April 5th. You can submit up to three pieces for consideration. Click on the link below and get started on your submission. All collage work is welcome, including poetry collage.

ART-STROLOGY opened on Saturday, and it feels nice to have such a bright, colorful show on the walls after a(nother) rough week of news and current events.

Every piece is available as a 3-color Risograph print (aqua, flo pink, yellow) as well as a collected calendar with blank dates and blank days of the week, so you can use it for any year, and with whatever weekly format you prefer. Sunday-first? Monday-first? Want to be weird and start on Wednesday for some reason? You can do it!

​Availability is limited though, so don't wait if you think you want something! Here's a video reel of the show if you can't make it in person!

Yes! We're kicking off the year with a Risograph calendar and print series featuring the zodiac!

What's your sign? Come find them all at our ART-STROLOGY show featuring 12 pieces of Riso-printed artwork, available as in a collected calendar or as individual prints.

ART-STROLOGY features artwork by Kiriska, Lake Wilson, Vox Dombek, Vladimir Verano, Zaza Vera Luga Audirac, Kaylyn Chileen, Mx. Morgan, Rebecca Ann Jordan, Summer Clarke (featured in poster art above!), Liz Courts, and Maxx FG, and it's showing January 10th through February 13th. 

Join us for the opening reception Saturday, January 10th, from 6-9 pm!
