The ArtLove Salon is more than just a gallery - it's a revolutionary space dedicated to creating the most beautiful venue to experience art in Seattle. We believe in the power of art to bring people together and forge meaningful human connections.
We specialize in contemporary realism with a focus on the human experience - art that captures emotions, tells stories, and celebrates the beauty of human connection. While not exclusively, our collection emphasizes representational works that speak to the heart.
As a nonprofit initiative of the Conru Art Foundation, we operate on a revolutionary principle: zero commissions for artists. It's an honor for us to showcase their work, and we believe the emotional power of art is too important to be diminished by gallery markups. Artists deserve to be supported, not exploited.
Andrew Conru, an engineer and entrepreneur with a Ph.D. from Stanford, discovered the transformative power of art later in life. What began as a personal journey of daily painting evolved into a mission to create Seattle's most beautiful art venue.
"I wanted to create a space where people could find human connections through art," Andrew explains. "Art has this incredible ability to touch our emotions and bring us together in ways that nothing else can. The ArtLove Salon is designed to facilitate these moments of connection."
True to the philanthropic nature of the Conru Art Foundation, the ArtLove Salon takes no commission for its public service of getting great art in front of patrons and the general public. Artists keep 100% of their sales.
"We believe it's crucial to get art in front of people because of its emotional power. By removing commissions, we can focus on what matters: creating the most beautiful environment to experience art and supporting the artists who make it all possible."
Located in the historic Poll Building at 110 Union Street in downtown Seattle, the ArtLove Salon spans 16,000 square feet of thoughtfully curated exhibition space.
