Twenty-seven art works by twenty-seven artists will be displayed. An artist reception and awards presentation will be held on Sunday, September 25th, 4-6 pm.

Artists United is a club of visual artists, made up of amateur, professional, and retired artists. Originally started in 1949 by a group of watercolor painters living in the Burien area, the group has grown to include members from throughout South King County, working in a variety of media: drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, ceramics, glass, and jewelry. Our aims are to encourage individual artistic development and to bring art into the community.
Artists United meets monthly at the Cove in Normandy Park, and offers demonstrations by local professional artists working in various art media.
Our Annual Juried Show is a public exhibit produced by members, juried by professional artists, with awards presented to the winning artists. The Autumn Art Fest is a show and sale of artworks by members held every fall at the Cove in Normandy Park. This event attracts patrons from throughout the Puget sound area. The Exhibits Program allows members to display artwork in selected local venues, on a rotational year round basis, and the monthly newsletter is a publication of member news, art opportunities and art related information.
