President’s message

Hello Onyx Friends,

Gallery Onyx is now showcasing the last exhibit of the year with a special offering of 60 pieces of original artwork by 22 artists priced between $50.00 and $350.00. This special pricing makes it easier for the beginning collector to bring wonderful original artwork into their homes and start collecting art at a high but affordable level. For the seasoned collector this exhibit will introduce a number of emerging artists who may be unknown to the collector community and allow early access to future masters.

Additionally, we have available for sale artist hand decorated holiday ornaments, prints of artwork by Onyx artists and unique notecards by our artists and jewelry. This exhibit ends January 31, 2025 so, come early to check it out. I believe you will be impressed as am I.

Gallery Onyx is open Friday - Sunday from 12 - 6pm or by appointment by calling (206) 722-0489. Thank you for supporting Onyx Fine Arts Collective and we hope to see you in Gallery Onyx soon.

Artfully yours,

Earnie Thomas, President
