The grand opening for the Michael Tolleson Savant Art Center

The grand opening and ribbon cutting for the Michael Tolleson Savant Art Center in downtown Kent runs from 5-8 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 26.

Tolleson, a self-taught autistic savant artist, moved his Seattle gallery to the Kent Business Center a year ago. But Tolleson wanted something more accessible and centrally located.

With help from the Kent Downtown Partnership and mayor’s office, the artist found it at 205 First Ave. S.

Light refreshments and wine will be provided at the grand opening. Kent Mayor Suzette Cooke will do the ribbon cutting.
