TASWIRA



Founded in 2020 by Avery Barnes, TASWIRA is Seattle’s only African art gallery, showcasing emerging African and Black artists in the heart of Pioneer Square. A self-taught entrepreneur and curator, Barnes was inspired by her experience developing women’s initiatives in Kenya to create this unique cultural space. Beyond serving as a gallery, TASWIRA leads youth programming, mentors artists globally, and advocates for equitable opportunities for artists of color.
Fun fact: Avery serves as a City of Seattle Arts Commissioner.
