Northwest Artists
From very early in the city's history, Seattle has been the hub of a thriving Northwest art community, producing and attracting talented artists of both regional and international renown. These artists have responded to a complex interplay of factors including the dynamism of a bustling port city coming of age in the industrial era, the mystical allure of the Northwest's natural resources, and the echo of the area's rich Native history. Davidson Galleries is proud to maintain a diverse inventory of works by artists who have been instrumental in shaping Seattle's distinctive artistic identity.
