If beauty, originality and even whimsy appeal to you, then a stop at the State Of The Arts Gallery is a must for you!

We are located in vibrant downtown Olympia on the corner of 5th and Washington St. The gallery has been bringing outstanding art and artists to the community since 1992.

Owned by Deb, Hugh and resident artist, Grant Moody, it is a family passion.

Grant Moody, Youth Artist age 9 & 11.

The gallery features over 200 artists works in pottery, jewelry, glass, prints and paintings. Oh WOW, is the most common expression of people coming through the doors for the first time. There is so much to see that you can never take it in all at once. Customers often remark in wonder at the diversity in art forms, styles and talent of our artists. We like to say it is as eclectic as Olympia!

We routinely change the gallery and have featured exhibits throughout the year. For a general schedule click here.

If you see something you think would work great in your home or office, but are not quite sure, take advantage of our Trial Art Program! Take anything, or group of things, home for up to a week and see how you like them. If you don't love them, just bring them back, no hassles! We also offer a lay-away plan with no service fees or interest.

The gallery is open Tuesday through Friday 10 to 5:30 and Saturday 11 to 4-ish and other hours happily arranged! Just give us a call at 360/705-0317 or E-mail us at: gr8art@thestateofthearts.com
