Capturing the Essence of Emerald City: "City Views" Comes to Alki Arts this August
West Seattle art lovers are in for a visual treat this August as Alki Arts presents its newest exhibition, “City Views.” Located in the vibrant heart of the Morgan Junction, the gallery is set to showcase a stunning collection of Seattle city paintings that explore our urban landscape through vastly different creative lenses.
This highly anticipated August 2026 exhibit features the brilliant work of three celebrated local painters: Robin Weiss, Brooke Borcherding, and Christine Sharp. In a fascinating stylistic juxtaposition, these artists will tackle some of the exact same classic Seattle subject matter, but with strikingly unique executions. Robin Weiss, an award-winning plein air artist, uses realistic techniques to capture the familiar, soulful sights of the city we all love. Meanwhile, Brooke Borcherding brings her signature contemporary style to the collection, deconstructing and abstracting those identical city scenes into geometric forms and vibrant patterns.
Whether you are a longtime resident or just visiting the neighborhood, "City Views" offers an engaging look at how personal perspective transforms familiar architecture. Be sure to check out the upcoming show times on the Alki Arts Exhibitions Page and stop by the gallery to see these masterpieces in person.
Okay, I used AI to write the above description of this upcoming exhibition... but it was pretty good!  Hope you can come to the opening on August 1st at Alki Arts in West Seattle from 5-7pm!  =]
