Robot vs Sloth is a whimsical showcase of adorable animals in combat alongside handmade local art. La Ru, a Seattle artist, founded the shop in January 2018 at the bustling Pike Place Market. The collection not only features her own artwork but also a thoughtfully curated array of pieces from talented local and non-local artists.

Excitingly, a second location in Magnolia is in the works, set to open in April 2025. Situated at 3300 W. McGraw St, this new venue will host all Market artists, in addition to offering craft events and art classes. Robot vs Sloth promises a delightful experience for art enthusiasts and animal lovers alike.

Discover the origins of the peculiar name, where the tale of robots subduing a sloth invasion in 1980s Seattle unfolds. La Ru, the creative mind behind the concept, merged her passion for robots and sloths to birth this unique artistic endeavor. Robot vs Sloth invites visitors to delve into a world where cute creatures and mechanical beings harmoniously coexist in playful harmony.
