About
Art Start NW

Art Start NW began in 2015 as a humble rolling art cart. Today, we host 25+ artists in 8,000 square feet of lofty space.

Located in downtown Edmonds, we’re at the heart of a vibrant arts community.
During open hours the public is invited to the Graphite Arts Center to explore the gallery, enjoy our art library, meet artists and watch them work. The gallery is accessible through Charcoal Restaurant daily from 4:00pm-8:00pm.
