Red Sky Gallery — Attraction in Lake Forest Park

First off, I would like to say that I love art. I am an artist myself and studied art and art history in college. I went to walk in recently to admire some local artists' work as well as the jewelry (I am getting married soon and would love to support local artists), but was met with an extremely hostile staff.

While I didn't make a purchase I will be back to look at the ceramic pieces and gift shop...
