We are seeking fresh, innovative artists across genres.  We are looking for professional artists who are effective communicators with strong technical skills and a strong understanding of who they are as artists. Artists will be selected by the La Familia board and will then be notified of their acceptance.

La Familia Gallery is a unique artist cooperative in that the gallery is a part of La Familia, the art of living LLC which is connected with Scene In Seattle, H'Art Dating, and Seattle Art CARD. Each of these programs provide excellent marketing and exposure for gallery artists
