About
Graphite Arts Center

Art Start NW began in 2015 as a humble rolling art cart. Today, we are better known as the Graphite Arts Center, located in downtown Edmonds, WA.

During open hours the public is invited to the Graphite Arts Center to explore the gallery, enjoy our art library, meet artists and watch them work. The gallery is accessible through Charcoal Restaurant daily from 4:00pm-8:00pm.
