VALISE Gallery

VALISE Gallery Artist Collective and Gallery VALISE stands for Vashon Artists Linked In Social Engagement. We chose these words for their humorous, ironic, and activist bent.

The gallery is dedicated to presenting subjects and media that are daring, unexpected and emergent. We want to stir our audiences. We want to challenge members to initiate fresh work. We want to share the venue with the community and tempt new ideas. Collective members show about half the time, and artists from outside the Vashon Autonomous Zone show the other half. The goal of VALISE gallery is to be an important and accessible art venue for the community.

From tiny hand held food scenes, to giant Western bumble bees, and a lot of splashing in between, Dot’s pieces are always a bit weird and capture the wonder of the everyday.

This Friday August 28th and Saturday the 29th are the final days of The Hita von Mende, Tom Gross, and Dot Cherch show. Be sure to stop by to see them all in person!

VALISE is thrilled to be featuring the work of Tom Gross this month.

Tom Gross says, “These paintings respond to a sense of Place, and the nuanced gifts that are offered when I slow and quiet myself enough to be present.”

There’s nothing quite like a Vashon First Friday in the summer! The street is closed to cars and the people roll in to show their support in masses. We are so lucky.

Sharon Shaver’s work truly cannot be fully appreciated until you see them up close in person. Her world’s allow you to dream!

Four Friends Part 2 is open all of July Fridays and Saturdays 1-6pm.

Sharon Shaver says, “Memories of looking down from the cliff where my log cabin was perched at streams of turquoise glacier melt water that ribboned the sky-blue salt water of Upper Lynn Canal inspires the water that I so enjoy painting.”

Come see this incredible Jiji Saunders piece in person for the month of July!

Four Friends Part 2 is open Fridays and Saturdays 1-6.

“Jiji Saunders presents landscape paintings created over several years, alongside recent works that deepen ongoing themes rooted in the natural world. Through windswept prairies, restless seas and remote far-flung landscapes, the paintings explore isolation, and the complex tensions between humans and the environment.”
