Adios, PIKE PLACE MARKET!

DEAR FRIENDS OF TwAC,

We wanted to fill you all in on some late breaking, bittersweet, Twilight news. The 31ST of AUGUST is going to be the last day of Twilight's Pike Place Market store. We've given it everything we've got, and more, and it's just not rebounding from the recession fast enough to make it viable for us to stay open.

The effects of this economic slow down has hit Pike Place Market all over, and we're one of many businesses making a move. Thankfully we have our West Seattle Junction location to focus on! The Junction shop has weathered this storm extremely well, and we're very proud and lucky to have a supportive and dynamic community over there that supports Fresh Local Art.

The three of us are definitely melancholy over leaving Pike Place - it is after all where we got our start - but getting through these trying and uncertain financial times requires decisions made from a strong business sense and not emotional places. We are also working hard to make sure that anyone looking for Twilight post August 31st knows exactly where to find us. Please help spread the word.

LONG LIVE LOCAL ART!!!
Much love & appreciation,
Mary, Cheryl & Erin

TWILIGHT ARTIST COLLECTIVE OPENS IN THE WEST SEATTLE JUNCTION

MEET THE PRODUCER

A funny thing happened on the way to the forum: Three talented artists bought a Pike Place Market business. The forum? Rome. The Market business? The Illuminator, an art gallery. Let's connect the dots.

While in Rome studying art, two students of a University of Washington art professor discovered the professor's husband was planning to sell his Market shop. Erin Crawford and Mary Enslow pursued idea and after graduating with degrees in interdisciplinary visual art and sculpture, respectively, they bought the business along with partner Cheryl Robinson, a ceramics artist. Cheryl and Mary had worked together at a local arts and events production company, One Reel.

Together, they opened Twilight Artist Collective in January 2005. The shop is an art gallery and boutique with a focus on funky, fresh, "poppy" (as Erin says) urban art created by local artists. They try to appeal to everyone by making art accessible and reasonably priced. There are original paintings, handmade jewelry, mixed media artwork, clothing, cards, handbags and accessories.

To keep it fresh, Erin says, "It's always an evolving show." A featured artist of each month gets a whole wall section on which to display his or her artwork. The first or second Sunday of the month there is a "Meet the Artist" reception at 1 p.m. open to the public.

When they started their business, they represented five artists. Today that number has grown to 100. They seek new artists through scouting, peers, friends, and they also curate artwork for local coffee houses and art spaces, so word has traveled. Erin says they get submissions from artists on a weekly basis.

A number of artists who got their start at Twilight have gone on to have shows in California and New York, a point of pride for the trio. Erin says these artists remain quite loyal to Twilight, too. While going on to greater fame, these same artists remain dedicated to the local art scene by still selling their wares at Twilight and keeping art affordable.

While being at Pike Place Market has given them international exposure just by who comes here, they are now finding that they are becoming a destination gallery, too, now that they deal with so many different artists. The "degrees of separation" are getting less because so many of the local artists know each other.

All three women have such a passion for making this gallery a success, they all work separate jobs to help pay the mortgage. A couple work in restaurants. Each works two days a week in the gallery and they take turns working Sundays. "We're working to live the dream," Erin says.
