Gallery in the Garden: July 17-August 2
Crown Hill Business Association is a sponsor of this year’s “Gallery in the Garden” which will take place July 17–August 2 at Swanson’s Nursery, in association with Pratt Fine Arts Center. Since 1976, the Pratt Fine Arts Center, located in Seattle’s Central District, has been a major contributor to Seattle’s rise as a vibrant cultural center and as a supportive community to artists and the arts. This summer Pratt will continue its dedication toward promoting the accessibility of the arts by launching the Third Annual “A Gallery in the Garden”.

For two weeks, Friday, July 17th thru Sunday, August 2nd, “A Gallery in the Garden”, will provide local artists the opportunity to showcase their work in a site specific venue and offer patrons direct inspiration to how art can enhance their own homes and lives. Opening night will treat ticketed guests to a first hand selection of gorgeous works of hand blown glass, forged iron sculpture and functional art for their garden while they enjoy entertainment by local musicians, fine wine and fine fare. Swanson’s Nursery will continue to sell the displayed art with all proceeds benefiting Pratt Fine Arts Center, a non-profit arts education and resource center.
