Ebb Tide Art Gallery Earns "Best Art Gallery" Award
Ebb Tide Art Gallery has been voted Best Art Gallery 2026 by readers of South Sound magazine.
"For more than 40 years, the Ebb Tide Gallery has been hosting local artists from the greater Gig Harbor area. Here, visitors will find high quality art of all kinds: paintings, photographic art, wood sculptures, ceramics, glass, and more. The gallery follows a co-op model with the artists whose art is featured in the gallery also running operations. Stepping into the space, visitors will be welcomed and helped by the artists themselves. "
Come see what all the buzz is about!
Ebb Tide Featured Artist for JUly
Valorie Smith - Ceramics Art
The feel of the clay as it flows through my fingers on the wheel, the artistic choices of shape and size, the aesthetic urges of selecting glaze combinations, the anticipation of the piece when it emerges from the kiln…one of a kind. These are the moments that draw me to my studio
each day.
My work is a pursuit of hearth and home, and my pieces are to be touched, used, shared in everyday life.
July's s Guest Artist
Paul Sattler - Watercolor Painting with Beeswax Coating
Paul is a self-taught watercolor artist who has been studying the art of painting for nearly 15 years. He's inspired by nature’s beauty and attempts to capture the romance of outdoor life and inspirational locations.
Each painting is based on a unique experience that invites the viewer to form their own interpretation.
Come meet the artist himself at a reception at the gallery on Saturday, July 11, from 2pm to 4pm. Come by and say Hi!
