Our Story

J. Rinehart Gallery is founded on the principle that bringing art into your home enhances your quality of living, connects you to your community, and fosters a greater understanding of humanity. Our diverse group of artists allows us to exhibit a variety of artwork suitable for any budget and will complement your personal sense of style.

We moved into our current location in the heart of the Seattle Arts District in Pioneer Square in 2019 and went to work creating an environment where anyone can feel comfortable visiting the gallery to explore marvelous works of art and discuss your wants and needs. Rotating exhibitions afford our clients a new and exciting experience with each visit and the opportunity to meet and socialize with artists and other collectors. We strive to make fine art accessible and attainable to all while keeping with our high standards of quality.

Whether you are looking for artwork to complete your décor, a future family heirloom, or just looking to fall in love with a piece of art to take home, we would love to discuss your needs. We deal in the art of falling in love with art.
