RON SWARNER: GOOD DEALS TO BE HAD, SADLY >>>

Bob Mead is closing Art Concepts on Broadway after 25 years in business. Sad to hear. I remember when he opened up his second store on Broadway in downtown Tacoma back in, I think, 1994. He eventually closed his University Place store. 

He’s been an anchor in the Tacoma arts scene for many years. I purchased an awesome 4-foot tall glass vase at his store a couple years ago. My umbrellas look great in it.

Best of luck, Bob.


Art Concepts Press Release:

Greetings all,
Not being able to find a buyer for this gallery and framing business I find that I am going to have to close it. After all the planning and effort that went into creating the gallery and 26 years of building the business it is definitely a shame to have to simply close it down.
However, with a need to retire to address personal health concerns and a lease expiring shortly and no purchaser in sight and an economy in the dumps, I seem to have no other choice. Many, many friendships have been formed and there are countless numbers who have supported the business through the years, and for this I am truly grateful. So, without further word I announce my *HUGE QUITTING BUSINESS SALE*! It is now in progress.
 
*QUITTING BUSINESS SALE !*
All art inventory, fixtures, equipment, materials and supplies including: Originals (25% off on all consignment art until artists pick up their work) * graphics and prints of all sort, framed and unframed * glass art * sculpture * half off on all art books * framed mirrors * misc. empty frames, some with mats and glass (dirt cheap) * display walls * slot walls * display cases * track light fixtures * hanging system * pedestals * floor easels * work benches and tables * framed art storage bins * framing supplies and materials * misc. hand tools * office supplies * microwave * older full size frig/freezer * etc, etc & more!
 
Now may not be the best of times for most of us, but if you are able to, now is a great time to find something at a fabulous price!
 
*ALL SALES FINAL * NO RETURNS or REFUNDS SALE HOURS: THURSDAYS, FRIDAYS, SATURDAYS, SUNDAYS: 11 - 5 OCTOBER 3RD THURSDAY ART WALK WILL BE OUR _LAST _- OPEN 'TIL 8
