While at Kirkland Uncorked, visitors can take a self-guided tour to explore more than 25 original life-sized bronze statues scattered throughout the city.

Some of the "Best" artists will be featured throughout downtown Kirkland on Park Lane, Kirkland Avenue and in Marina Park.Ê Participating artists are being curated by Northwest Crafts Alliance, producers of the Best of the Northwest art shows since 1989.
The Northwest Crafts Alliance's motto is "Art Made by Hands You can Shake". It's goal is to bring artists and customers together to make purchasing art a more rewarding process. If you are going to collect a piece of art, it is very special to meet the creator and hear their personal stories about what inspires them and how a particular piece was created.
