Our Story
Fifty Years of Fine Prints
Welcome to Davidson Galleries. We house the largest inventory of original contemporary, modern and antique prints in the Northwest.
We have an inventory of nearly twenty thousand original contemporary, modern, and antique works on paper. We believe that art should be accessible to everybody, and welcome people of all kinds to visit our gallery to view the work and learn more about printmaking.
All Are Welcome
We welcome visitors with dogs, with children, those who buy, and those who browse. We don’t have a dress code or a noise limit. Some visitors know a lot about art already, and some come to learn.
We feature monthly exhibitions on the wall, and have a large selection of browseable inventory in our bins and boxes.
Our History
Sam Davidson opened Davidson Galleries in 1973. During its lifetime the gallery has occupied eight locations, most in historic Pioneer Square. Davidson Galleries is a founding member of the Seattle Art Dealer’s Association and Pioneer Square’s First Thursday Art Walk.
