Postmark Center for the Arts is a rotating gallery space located in Auburn, Washington. The building was built in 1937 and served as Auburn's first post office but since has been converted into a hub for arts and culture. The main floor is dominated by a gallery and gathering space. The original post-office vault has been transformed into an inspiring and unique art installation space, The Vault Gallery. Exhibits rotate quarterly, and focus on providing art from a variety of backgrounds and interpretations.

Tapestry Artists of Puget Sound:
Telling Their Stories
January 23 - April 9, 2025
Family by Cecilia Blomberg
Tapestry Artists of Puget Sound (TAPS) was founded in 1990 for the exchange of techniques, philosophy and inspiration within the world of tapestry. The group provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and an opportunity for critical review through discussion, exhibition and publication. Each artist has developed and refined a body of work that expresses a unique vision and commitment to the art form.
This diverse group of artists share their artwork and the ideas that inspire them. Each artist has a unique approach whether it is a technique, material or concept and brings these together in the medium of handwoven tapestry.
Artists:
Marion Bennet, Cecilia Blomberg, Joyce Hayes, Suzanne Hubbard, Mary Lane, Margo Macdonald, Katia Paroczi, Liz Pulos, Ellen Ramsey, and Julia Rapinoe.
