When I walked into Black Arts Love Gallery and Marketplace, I was immediately greeted by Malika. She was simultaneously knowledgeable and welcoming. While talk about art and issues affecting the Black community, she introduced to several items produced by Black artists and entrepreneurs. I purchased some body butter, a pair of earrings, a few prints, and some scents to release stress. I wholeheartedly recommend you stop by and browse their pieces. As someone who loves to purchase art from different cities, this was worth the detour. The works spans 40 artists, 85% of them being local. It was my first day in Seattle, and this experience has cemented a favorable impression of the city in my mind. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
