We are Arte Soleil Gallery! ~ an East Portland Gift Shoppe / Studio on the corner of SE 122nd Ave and Ellis St. Since we're an art hub for many, we are exploring creative ways to keep our hub doors open so we can continue to provide such a space for our community
Our mission is exposing the community to a wide range of artistic expression through creative collaboration!
.
We are inspired to beautify the space and community while restoring the vitality of the ecosystem by creating accessible pathways and multi-functional plant habitat that will be enjoyed by pollinators, community members, and creatives alike. Our Design includes plants that can be used in studio time by creatives such as for dyes, basketry, fiber etc.
