LIC Gallery Opens on Seattle's Waterfront, Challenging Conventions in Contemporary Art
New waterfront space brings together contemporary, traditional, and sculptural works with a mission to comfort, unsettle, provoke, and inspire.
Seattle has a world-class arts community & the waterfront deserves a space that matches its ambition. I want LIC Gallery to be a place where people walk in expecting to be comfortable & leave changed.”
SEATTLE, WA, UNITED STATES, March 25, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- LIC Gallery, a bold new art space rooted in the belief that art should challenge as much as it comforts, will open its doors on April 1, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. on Seattle's storied waterfront. The gallery arrives as a provocateur in the city's cultural landscape — a space where contemporary works, sculpture, and traditional fine art collide in unexpected conversation.— Paul Drinkwine, Founder of LIC Gallery
Founded by Paul Drinkwine, a longtime technology sector veteran turned passionate arts advocate, LIC Gallery is the culmination of years spent collecting art and building relationships across the global arts community. Drinkwine left a successful career in tech to pursue a vision: a gallery that refuses to play it safe.
“Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.” — Cesar A. Cruz, guiding principle of LIC Gallery
The gallery's program spans three disciplines — contemporary and modern works, sculpture, and traditional fine art — curated with an eye toward friction and discovery. LIC Gallery is interested in dialogue as much as decoration.
