Fine art gallery exhibiting paintings, prints, photography and sculpture
40th Anniversary Show
December 5, 2024 - January 25, 2025
Closing Party: Saturday, January 25, 2-4 PM
Harris Harvey Gallery is delighted to announce our 40th Anniversary Show, celebrating 40 years of gallery history. Founded in 1984 by Lisa Harris and known for many decades as the Lisa Harris Gallery, and now as Harris Harvey Gallery - the gallery has seen some changes since its founding, but has been committed to the work of West Coast artists for four decades. In the autumn of 2016, Lisa Harris passed the torch to then Assistant Director, Sarah Harvey, and the gallery re-opened with its new name in a new street-level space in Downtown Seattle.
The exhibition underlines the careful, longstanding stewardship of the gallery by the two namesake directors by showcasing work by artists with gallery relationships dating back to the 1980s and 1990s next to newcomers. The intentional diversity of style, media and technique exhibited in this show reflects a distinctive creative vision that has been vital to the gallery’s history.
Upcoming Exhibitions
Gregg Laananen - Up River
February 6 - March 1, 2025
Artist’s Reception: Thursday, February 6, 6 - 8 PM
Open House: Saturday, February 8, 2-4 PM
Gregg Laananen is a self-taught artist living and working in the Skagit Valley in the Pacific Northwest. His artwork is primarily informed by observations made directly from nature. His imagery is discovered through processes of drawing, material investigation, and the role of chance and the intuition, the latter of which was highly regarded by late artist friend and mentor, Ed Kamuda.
The exhibition, Up River, celebrates Laananen’s devotion to those rural and remote places further East in the mountains and along the Skagit River drainage. Inspired by lush forests and mountains, waterfalls and flumes, swans and ferns, Laananen creates new images from a familiar world in which we find connection and meaning.
