The Columbia City Gallery
The Columbia City Gallery is an artist-run collective that represents over 30 local artists. A wide range of media and styles make up our exhibits, including representational and abstract painting, prints, mixed media, sculpture, glass, ceramics, enamel and hand crafted jewelry.

The Mission of the gallery is to provide an exhibition space for local artists, an educational center for creative endeavors and a gathering place for our neighbors to experience art. Founded in 1999, the gallery has succeeded in becoming a lively center of the community.The gallery is located in the heart of the Historic District of Columbia City, on Rainier Avenue South. This Southeast Seattle neighborhood offers a vibrant and dynamic experience. Ample parking is available.

SouthEast Effective Development is the parent organization for the Columbia City Gallery. For more information about SEED, go to www.seedseattle.org.
