CELEBRATING 25+ YEARS
ArtXchange Gallery is a contemporary art gallery that inspires exploration, encourages global perspectives and creates an exchange of ideas through art. We exhibit art that reflects the diversity of influences shaping the Seattle community and contemporary global culture.
Founded in 1995, ArtXchange Gallery has evolved from an online gallery to a pop-up showroom and now to our current 2000+ square foot gallery in Pioneer Square. The gallery features rotating exhibitions, as well as creative events including artist workshops, poetry readings and dance performances.
CORA EDMONDS, Gallery Director
Gallery director Cora Edmonds’ international background, combined with her love of art, travel, and photography, influenced her to establish ArtXchange Gallery in 1995 to raise cultural awareness, exhibit artists from around the world and promote global understanding through art. Cora is the co-founder of Namaste Children’s Fund, a non-profit organization that supports education for girls in rural Nepal.
