Artwood began in 1987 when a group of woodworkers in Northwest Washington decided to open a showroom of their work. Artwood was founded as a cooperative, and because the storefront they located, in a cooperative building belonging to a land trust, needed extensive remodeling, the membership bonded early in their acquaintance, together wielding picks and shovels, hammers and saws, and wiring, plumbing, and painting tools. The friendship has been a productive and satisfying one, and Artwood members love to drop in at the gallery, just as much as customers do, to visit and see what's new.
