Our 16,000 sq ft space in the historic Poll Building (110 Union St) is designed to promote exceptional Seattle artists and get their work in front of new audiences who might not otherwise encounter it.
What we do:
Our collection emphasizes work that embodies Beauty, Truth, and Love—art that brings people together rather than divides them. We're committed to elevating Seattle's creative community by providing a prestigious platform where great art gets the attention it deserves.
The ArtLove Salon serves as our testing ground for bringing people together through meaningful art. We're experimenting with how professional gatherings and art exhibitions can create genuine connections.
It's a work in progress. We're learning what happens when business meets creativity, when art becomes the catalyst for conversation, and when people from different worlds find common ground through shared appreciation of beautiful things.
We focus on art that embodies beauty, authenticity, and connection—work that uplifts rather than divides, and brings out the best in both artists and audiences.
"The Conru Art Foundation was founded on the belief that art can bring people together in meaningful ways."
— Andrew Conru, Founder
Join a curated collection of the Pacific Northwest's finest artists. The ArtLove Salon offers a unique platform in the heart of downtown Seattle to connect your art with an engaged audience of professionals, collectors, and art lovers. While we consider exceptional contemporary work across genres, we are particularly interested in art that explores therapeutic themes and aligns with the values of Rehumanism — seeking beauty, truth, and connection to heal and elevate the human spirit.
We prioritize excellence and seek your best, most representative pieces.
