Barlow Gallery Opens Second Downtown Tacoma Location in Hotel Murano

The Barlow Gallery now has two stunning locations in Tacoma with the second recently opening in the art-centric Hotel Murano off Broadway Street. Hotel Murano is known for its private collection of art from around the world spread throughout the entire lodging; even the name was taken from the Murano Island in Italy, famous for its glass making. The Barlow Gallery is the icing on the cake perfectly intertwined with the rich history on display within the building.
 
The Barlow Gallery exhibits a variety of media produced by over 20 artists from the region alongside global artists, including jewelry by Joel Arellano Castillo, photography by Dean Burke, mixed media by Vallary Swington-Marsalis, and paintings from Javan McGriff. The Barlow Gallery lists the art for sale both in the gallery and online, and is an excellent resource for individuals decorating a space, who may need a gift, or who are active patrons of the arts. The gallery’s new location within the Hotel Murano is just off the main lobby and it offers a cozy space with sunshine filtering in to showcase the beautiful canvases, jewelry, sculptures, and more creations that are available to enjoy.
 
The Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber was invited to celebrate the grand opening of the second gallery space and was joined by dozens of artists whose pieces were on display. The grand opening was also attended by members of the Downtown Tacoma Partnership, and TV Tacoma was present to cover the festivities.
 
Ron Stevenson, co-founder, website manager, and photographer for the Barlow Gallery, along with Rachel René, co-founder and manager for the Barlow Gallery were joined by Thomas Pavlik, the general manager of Hotel Murano who was happy to speak on the opening of this Gallery.
 
Pavlik noted being grateful that Ron and Rachel had chosen his hotel to be the home of the second Barlow Gallery and that it wouldn't make sense to be on display anywhere else than inside the Hotel Murano.
 
“The creative economy is a driving force in Tacoma-Pierce County,” said Chamber President & CEO Andrea Reay, in her opening remarks. “We are very lucky to have such a vibrant community, and the Chamber recognizes this through our Spaceworks program. It is so wonderful to see how many local artists have procured art to go on display here in the Hotel Murano.”
 
The newest location of the Barlow Gallery is located at 1320 Broadway, Tacoma, WA 98402. You can also follow the Barlow Gallery for news and updates on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter / X, or Pinterest.
