And I am the curator
of The Hideout.

4
00:00:07,007 --> 00:00:09,843
The Hideout
is Seattle's best art bar.

5
00:00:09,843 --> 00:00:12,554
It is a dive bar
with 100 pieces of art

And anybody who comes

12

The Hideout has a wide array
of patrons,

13
00:00:32,866 --> 00:00:37,203
from hospital workers to first
Hill residents to artists.

14
00:00:37,203 --> 00:00:41,458
So we create an atmosphere that
is surrounded by creativity.

19
00:00:51,801 --> 00:00:53,762
Many of the artists on the walls

20
00:00:53,762 --> 00:00:56,931
are what I would consider
established Seattle artists.

21
00:00:56,931 --> 00:00:58,850
They've had shows at galleries,

22
00:00:58,850 --> 00:01:02,187
but I'm also always on the hunt
for new emerging artists

23
00:01:02,187 --> 00:01:03,980
that maybe haven't had
a show yet,

24
00:01:03,980 --> 00:01:06,775
but I get wind of their work
or see it on Instagram,

25
00:01:06,775 --> 00:01:10,070
and nothing's more fun
than putting something up

26
00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:13,156
for the first time
for an artist.

27
00:01:13,156 --> 00:01:17,327
One thing that is fascinating
to think about is how many hours

28
00:01:17,327 --> 00:01:18,995
and how much of people's lives

29
00:01:18,995 --> 00:01:22,624
are poured into these paintings
on the walls.

30
00:01:22,624 --> 00:01:24,626
For some people,
it's a lifetime

31
00:01:24,626 --> 00:01:26,503
to get to the image
you're seeing.

32
00:01:26,503 --> 00:01:29,005
Other people,
they're just discovering paint

33
00:01:29,005 --> 00:01:31,841
and just starting
to express themselves.

34
00:01:31,841 --> 00:01:35,095
But every painting has
a personal story to tell.

35
00:01:36,763 --> 00:01:39,682
I was so happy to get
the large Tondo painting

36
00:01:39,682 --> 00:01:41,059
from Sullivan Giles.

37
00:01:41,059 --> 00:01:43,520
It's the hands with the tattoos,

38
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,690
and it is just exquisite
and massive.

39
00:01:47,690 --> 00:01:48,942
Another piece that I really like

40
00:01:48,942 --> 00:01:51,152
is Blake Blanco's
"The Fallen One."

41
00:01:51,152 --> 00:01:53,988
It's this red devil angel.

42
00:01:53,988 --> 00:01:57,033
And he kind of looms
right behind the patrons,

43
00:01:57,033 --> 00:01:59,744
casting his glance down at them.

44
00:01:59,744 --> 00:02:01,371
And also, I was really happy

45
00:02:01,371 --> 00:02:05,834
to get one of Laura Hamza's
viaduct paintings.

46
00:02:05,834 --> 00:02:08,670
I have cataloged all the art
on the walls,

47
00:02:08,670 --> 00:02:12,173
and we put out
a magazine roughly quarterly.

48
00:02:12,173 --> 00:02:13,716
Everything's pictured.

49
00:02:13,716 --> 00:02:17,637
You can find what you're
looking for really easily.

50
00:02:17,637 --> 00:02:21,224
The Vital 5 is a long-standing
tradition here at The Hideout.

51
00:02:21,224 --> 00:02:25,311
It is a magazine compiled
with drawings by patrons.

52
00:02:25,311 --> 00:02:27,689
So we put that out
a couple of times a year,

53
00:02:27,689 --> 00:02:29,566
and it's some
of our favorite drawings

54
00:02:29,566 --> 00:02:32,861
that were created right here.

55
00:02:32,861 --> 00:02:35,822
The Hideout is definitely
a cocktail bar.

56
00:02:35,822 --> 00:02:39,200
Probably the most popular drink
on the menu is the Andy Warhol,

57
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,119
and that is a cosmopolitan

58
00:02:41,119 --> 00:02:45,165
and a Polaroid picture
of yourself.

59
00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:47,834
My advice for anybody
that wants to buy art

60
00:02:47,834 --> 00:02:49,669
that hasn't had
experience with it

61
00:02:49,669 --> 00:02:51,462
is just follow your heart.

62
00:02:51,462 --> 00:02:53,423
Buy what you like.

63
00:02:53,423 --> 00:02:56,801
The hardest thing with art
is the ones that got away.

64
00:02:56,801 --> 00:03:01,014
So if you really love something,
figure out how to buy it

65
00:03:01,014 --> 00:03:04,184
and then make it
part of your life.

66
