October 2024
“Rising Above”
We asked artists to interpret the theme 'Rising Above'. Does this mean considering a different perspective? Getting a view from a bit of a distance? For the month of October we will view these artists' interpretation of 'Rising Above' either literally or figuratively. Featured artists are Steffanie Lorig, Joanne Shellan, Steve Jensen, and Lisa Lamoreaux.

“Joyful Surroundings”
This month we present an exhibition entitled 'Joyful Surroundings' showcasing artwork with bright and beautiful colors to perk up any interior space!
We will be featuring the large-scale mixed media work of Joan Stuart Ross as well as small sweet mixed media pieces by West Seattle's own Reeve Washburn. We will also have hanging metal sculptural work by Warren Pope and new colorful contemporary work by Brooke Borcherding!
The thread that stitches this exhibit together is that of joy and color!
August 2024
“The Language of Water”
For the month of August, Alki Arts is proud and delighted to welcome back to Seattle Chilean artist Patri O'Connor!
Over the years, Patri's paintings of Alki Beach in her signature style have become iconic in Seattle among art lovers. Now living back in her homeland of Chile, the iconic style of Patri's Beach paintings is still unmistakable and readily identifiable! The Language of Water remains the same.
Our monthly theme is expanded upon by brand new work from artist Leon Lowman that reflects his signature aquatic palette, Steve Jensen’s continuing boat theme, and exciting beach scenes from Brian Cameron, a new artist to the gallery.
Being in the gallery will feel like a day at the beach during the month of August!

“City Life”
A favorite subject matter for PNW art collectors is scenes of their beloved city! From the traffic, to familiar street scenes, the hustle & bustle of daily life, and familiar looking characters...Art buyers love a city scene painting! So, we have assembled some of your favorites and it will be interesting to see several artists’ take on this theme!
Featured artists: plein air oil painter Robin Weiss, impasto oil painter Arlon Rosenoff, master of the 'day in the life' city scene painter Layne Cook, and bold contemporary deconstructed city scene painter Brooke Borcherding! This will be a fun exhibit!
May 2024
“Voyages”
Some voyages are celebratory, others lead to a new start, some symbolize an ending, and still some are rooted in trauma. In this profound exhibit we will have art depicting many different 'voyages' in a person's life. Some of the art will be full of meaning, some full of beauty, and even some full of fun...come see for yourself.
Featured artists: Steve Jensen, Warren Pope, Phil Jones, and Joanne Shellan all create works that reflect their relationship with the sea and personal or historic voyages.

“Abstract Thoughts”
Abstract Art ignites the imagination ~It's worth is often times found in how it makes the viewer feel.
We are the first to acknowledge that abstract art is not for everyone...but to those who truly love it, it is everything!

“Reunion”
Our exhibit for Feb is a group show of many of the very first artists who started with Alki Arts back on the beach in 2010!

Come see the amazing work of many of our faves: Cheryl Zahniser, Robin Weiss, Phil Jones, Joanne Shellan, C.A. Pierce, Brooke Borcherding, Jim Lopresti, Karen Dedrickson, Lezlie Jane, Larry Halvorsen & Garrison Coverdale!
