welcome to
CREATIVE AVENUE

A space in Anacortes, Washington for artists, makers, crafters, and creative minds to come together to share their work and express their creativity through regular markets and events.

CREATIVE AVENUE
AT A GLANCE

What started out as just artisan markets has grown into a vibrant community of makers, crafters, artists and more.

In 2021, we began to host markets at various locations around Skagit Valley. As of 2024, we are excited to announce that we now have a permanent 'home!'

Our new Creative Hub & Coffeehouse is located right in the heart of downtown Anacortes - offering a variety of art classes and meetups, an area to paint your own pottery, delicious beverages and pre-packaged snacks... and we have so much more in store!

We will continue to have markets at the Depot in Anacortes and at Azusa Garden Centre in Mount Vernon throughout the year. Dates and locations for markets vary. Follow us on social media, or join our newsletter, to get notified about upcoming market dates!

You can't use up creativity.

The more you use, the more you have.

After spending 16 rewarding years as a Hindu monk, I left the monastery and began pursuing my life-long love of art. Having grown up in Washington state, I’ve been blessed to live in Anacortes since 2018 where I share a home and studio with my partner and fellow artist, Iris.

My greatest desire is to create art that inspires and brings joy to others. Sometimes my subject matter is serious but often is lighthearted and whimsical. I love using traditional mediums such as ink and watercolor as well as working digitally using a graphics tablet and stylus or an iPad Pro.

See my work in person at MoonWater Arts in Anacortes or Raven’s Cup Coffee & Art Gallery in La Conner.
