Underground art is the coolest! And the one good place in town to find it is here at Roq La Rue. The owner definitely has her finger on the pulse of the lowbrow hipster art scene. Her shows constantly bring in the wildest selection of artists. Breaking ground as an alternative to the staid Pioneer Square set, Roq La Rue feeds a need for art for those of us who want nothing to do with the boring white wine and watercolors offered other places. The opening nights of the shows generally provide a rare chance to meet some really cool artists and commune with like-minded citizens of Seattle. You will always leave Roq La Rue with your yen for mind-bending art sated.
