REQUESTED ACTION: The applicant requests approval to establish and operate an art
gallery (Gallery Adrienne International) specializing in contemporary fine art with a focus on
original abstracts including; paintings, sculptures, ceramics, tapestries and glass artwork at 225
Forest Avenue (previously The Crystal Image).
BACKGROUND: The proposed site is located within the CBD-2, Downtown Commercial
Zoning District. On April 29, 1998, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit
98-17 to allow an art gallery featuring animation and fine art. On March 26, 2003, The Crystal
Image Art Gallery was approved, but since has moved across the street. The space has been
vacant since October of 2007. The site is two stories and consists of approximately 5,640 square
feet in area. Parking is legal non-conforming with no intensification of use proposed.
STAFF ANALYSIS: Art Galleries are permitted in the CBD-2, Downtown Commercial Zoning
District subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit if a substantial portion of the
merchandise sold is original or numbered, limited edition artwork, and if the use does not
contribute to a cumulative effect of similar uses.
The site has been operating as an art gallery since 1998 and would not increase the number of
galleries from what currently exists. The proposed use would contribute to the diversity of uses
in the downtown as well as enhance the art-oriented uses in the downtown. The proposed art is
large contemporary pieces that require a large space to adequately display. In addition, the
special finding required for art galleries can be made in that a substantial portion of the
merchandise will be original or limited edition artwork.

Jon
his field, creating highly intricate architectural
glass sculpture that has won world-wide
acclaim. Kuhn works exclusively in cold glass
art, cutting the glass into small segments
before polishing and laminating them into
abstruse knots of light and color. Jon Kuhn
glass sculptures are immediately recognizable
for their intricacy and ability to reflect and
refract light. Among cold glass artists, Kuhn's
work stands out for its complexity, its geometric
forms and for its presence which has almost a
spiritual quality. Jon Kuhn believes that "the
goal of spirituality is perfection" and that
striving for perfection is quite evident in his
architectural glass art. Kuhn, who has studied
Eastern spirituality extensively, writes, "Striving
for perfection has never been more evident in
what I do. Perhaps my sculpture has become
an architectural model of a vision for a better
world."
Kuhn originally studied ceramics in college
before becoming one of the leading cold glass
artists. His early works in glass had ceramic
like surfaces and were reminiscent of rocks
which when broken open reveal glass like
minerals inside. He received his MFA from
Virginia Commonwealth University. Kuhn's
architectural glass art is very highly regarded
among collectors and connosieurs of cold glass
Lino Tagliapietra
Biography
Lino
Tagliapietra is
wiaely
recognized as
one of the
world's
premier
artists
working in glass. Dale Chihuly has referred to
him as "perhaps the world's greatest living
glassblower" and many connoisseurs of
contempory glass art would agree.
Lino was born in Murano, Italy in 1934. At the
age of 12 he began his apprenticeship with
Archimede Seguso and by the age of 21 he
had earned the title of maestro. Over the next
25 years Lino worked in association with
several of the best known Muranese glass
factories.
-
-
Dinosaur
In 1979, the Italian glass maestro came to the
United States to teach at Pilchuck School in
the Seattle, thus beginning a long history of
sharing his centuries old technical knowledge
with American glass artists. In the 1980's Lino
was best known for the collaborative work he
did with several American artists, including
Dale Chihuly and Dan Bailey. But in the
1990's, although he continued to teach and
collaborate widely in the U.S., Lino began to be
widely recognized for his own unique works of
art.
Today, Lino Tagliapietra has established
himself as one of the greatest glass artists of
all time. Lino Tagliapietra glass works are in
the collections of many major glass museums
throughout the world and are sought after
avidly by collectors of glass art.
Holsten Galleries is proud to be one of the few
glass galleries in the U.S. to represent Lino
Tagliapietra. The gallery is currently featuring
over thirty unique works, including a major wall
installation entitled Masai.
