Dear Friends,
Happy New Year! We are writing to share some huge news with you – we’re moving!
After more than 25 years on First Avenue, the time has come to change things up. The downtown core has shifted since the pandemic, and increasingly, small independent businesses like ours have to confront the problematic reality that while rents remain at downtown prices, the foot traffic we rely on isn’t what it used to be.
But we are nimble, and as our city evolves, we will too! At the end of January, we’ll close our doors at 1404 First Avenue and begin to search for our new home. While our physical space is closed, we’ll continue to operate our online gallery and shop, and will maintain our physical inventory so that we can work with you in person on an individual basis.
Over the coming months, we will actively search for a beautiful, exciting new space to showcase the work of our amazing artists. We’re also planning some special pop-up events in Seattle and beyond. We’ll send periodic updates via email and Instagram (@vetriglass) to keep you informed about the progress of our move, special events, and artist updates.
We are genuinely excited about the future and look forward to spreading our wings and getting to know a new neighborhood. We can’t thank you enough for your enthusiastic support. Stay tuned for updates!
With love,
Sarah, Sheila, and the Vetri team.
PS. Do you know of a cool retail space in Seattle that we should look at? Let us know!
