“No Witches Allowed” featuring the works of Sasha Barr and Megan Hall of WONDER THUNDER. No Witches Allowed is a collection of enchanted artwork by Seattle artists Meagan Hall and Sasha Barr of Wonder Thunder. Through screen-printing, collage, and some haphazard stitchery, Wonder Thunder battles superstitions, bad dreams, and other haunted nonsense. In this exploration, Wonder Thunder has challenged a number of old wives tales and myths, carelessly resting hats on beds and spitting in the mouths of dogs. This work is a testament to the power of these seemingly nonsensical beliefs and their grip on our fragile minds. Artist present.

"Power in Numbers" features the contemporary print works of Seattle artists: Zach Bohnenkamp, Jen Bauer, Joey Katzer, Chris Rollins and Nate Stottrup. Many times printmaking is little understood by the layman, but a lot of the methods used in printmaking like wood-block cuts and engravings are an intense and tedious process. The outcome seems effortless in many people's eyes. Jen Bauer, who utilizes the engraving method, illustrates this point well in her artists statement...

"Printmakers spend days on end hunched over a piece of metal scratching away at it with another piece of metal until it kind of looks like something they might be going for, backwards. The tedium and labor are beneficial, however. The time it takes to make a print is as much time as it takes to contemplate and understand the subject, and this could generate the elevated and powerful subject matter prints are known for. Printmaking is an intellectual medium and printmakers are an intellectual sort, and needless to say intelligence is sometimes paired with a proportional degree of insanity. While the insanity may or may not lend some interest to the print, the question remains, was the artist insane before picking up printmaking, or was it the tedious and laborious process that made him/her that way? " Artists present.

Artist Statement:
I paint indiosyncratic characters with a bold palette in an urban art style mainly using acrylic and aerosol. I'm a people watcher and I enjoy spending time following the emotions that flicker throught a person's face during an interaction. I feel my art is the expression of these every day emotions and my collection of colorful and odd characters are inspired by life and the uncomfortable, forlorn and many times humorous circumstances that happen within it.

I also enjoy using vibrant contracting color palettes to elicit a "pop" factor, often juxtaposing bright vivid colors with depressing emotions to provide balance and to surprise the viewer. I think that peole enjoy looking at my work because they see something of themselves or people they know in my paintings, which often time eveokes a smile or a laugh.

Tasty to host Anthony Angel Trunk Show: Wed, Sept 21 from 6-9pm

On Wednesday night, September 21st from 6:00 – 9:00pm Tasty hosts a Trunk Sale with the fine art jewelry of Anthony Angel.

Statement from the artist:
“The jewelry I create is influenced by my long history of being an artist. I have worked in many mediums, but making jewelry has been the most gratifying of all. This is because I get to see how my artwork compliments the style of the wearer. As I design each piece of jewelry I take into account the gems color, shape and even history. I handpick all of my gemstones to ensure their quality by selecting them by their clarity, color and cut. The final stage is to bring the design to life by constructing the piece of jewelry in gold and silver with the gemstones. I take great pride in the design and construction of my artwork and I know it will be reflected in the many compliments you will receive from admirers.”

To add extra flair to the one night event, Fly Girl Feathers will be offering feather & tinsel hair extensions, feather earrings and other accessories. Plus, Shelby from Stila Cosmetics will be here to enhance your inner beauty! Ah, did I mention Champagne Cocktails? Oh yeah, that too!

After a few years of lying low, representational art is back with a vengeance—artists are creating figurative work with passion and finesse, but now they’re adding their own unique twists. In a fitting gesture for these tumultuous times, the artists that were chosen for “Askew” create intense, layered imagery that challenges our perceptions of “normal” and makes us think twice about what’s real and what’s not. The work is sometimes dramatic and sometimes subtle, but it’s always well crafted and wonderful. “Askew” is curated by Seattle artists, Chris Sheridan & Kate Protage and features the contemporary works of: Yvette Endrijautzki, Carl Faulkner, Zanetka Gawronski, Larkin, Matthew Lewis, Aaron Jasinski, Spyder Peterka, AJ Power, Jim Stoccardo, James Walker, and Andrea Wicklund.

Two Birds Tattoo: 7408 Greenwood Ave N
Artwork by Betsy Barnum. Artist Statement: I use my works on paper to describe my life, expressing my thoughts and emotions about a specific moment or circumstance through my relationships with those I am close to. I build up thin layers of paint, ink and pencil to conceal and reveal images the way emotions and behavior are unconsciously layered to hide or signal something to others. The gesture and composition of the figures in my work are very important, as they are the first indicators of the work’s meaning. I use recurring objects from piece to piece as symbols or metaphors for people and ideas. For example, I often use a typewriter to represent myself, or birds as metaphors for fear and emotion. I use paper as my surface because of its flexibility, smoothness, and capacity for erasure. Like a palimpsest, it shows the progression and history of layers of marks. Like skin it wrinkles and fights back when worked on, asserting its personality into the painting or drawing. Like journal pages, my work is an ongoing narrative, each piece chronologically linked to the others. Each gesture, color, layer, and object is significant, and each work interacts with the others to establish meaning through a repetition of these elements. Artist present.

Gainsbourg: 8550 Greenwood Ave N
Best known for his surrealistic cityscapes and sultry portraits, Ethan Jack Harrington’s paintings provide viewers with a whimsical perspective of the constantly evolving world. As a plein-air oil painter, the artist captures scenes in-person, in real-time; when a subject earns his attention, Harrington sets up his easel on a sidewalk, rooftop or in an alley and quickly paints the area as he sees it at that moment. Influenced and taught by his father Jack Harrington, a professional impressionistic oil painter and illustrator, Harrington has painted professionally for 20 years. His intensely unique style and skill has developed into what is now an easily recognizable trademark among collectors.

Gainsbourg: 8550 Greenwood Ave N
Photography by Greg Plumis. Greg Plumis is a long-time photographer with a newly found focus: portraits. Raised by a large family – practically a Greek and Serbian village – in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood, Plumis has always valued company. This affinity for people naturally translates into his photography practice and allows him to capture subjects when they are comfortable, or naturally interacting with their environment. His love of socializing, of course, is only matched by his obsession with shooting film on old or toy cameras. If Greg had it his way, we’d never have progressed past the 4X5 camera – and our iPhones would only work with tripods. Be that as it may, for practical purposes, he splits his time between digital and film formats—sometimes even shooting Super 8, exercising his skill in both fine art and commercial projects. A soon to be graduate of the Commercial Photography program at Seattle Central’s Creative Academy, Plumis has experience shooting for editorial, corporate and nonprofit clients.

My two passions are textiles and illustration and I have endeavored to combine the two in my work.

*Tap Root Theatre: 204 N 85th Street
Taproot Theatre offers two-for-one tickets to its performance of Brownie Points on Friday, June 10, at 8 pm. Just ask for your Art Walk Discount when calling the box office at 206.781.9707. Offer subject to availability, is not applicable to previously-purchased tickets, and may not be combined with other offers.

“Brownie Points began with the question, ‘what is more powerful: the shared experience of motherhood or the divisiveness of race?’” says playwright Janece Shaffer of her new dramedy, making its West Coast premiere at Taproot Theatre. The girls' club pledge never promised camping would be easy...for the moms. In the late night mayhem of a backwoods campout a storm rages outside, while a squall builds inside the cabin. Set against tranquil mountains, the close quarters, diverse backgrounds and differing walks of life collide, spurring hilarious but meaningful conversations about race, religion and parenting. Directed by Karen Lund, Brownie Points runs through June 18.

The "BIG ONE": 16th Annual Artwalk Fri, May 13 & Sat, May 14

We're celebrating the 16th year for what was previously called the Annual Artwalk. Since a monthly artwalk has been in place for a couple of years, we didn't want to lose the special feel of the Annual and so we are now referring to it as the "Big One". What makes this different from the monthly, is that this is a 2-day event with more than double the participating venues along with a select number of juried artists.

70 venues hosting art on Friday, May 13th from 6-9pm and Saturday, May 14th from noon - 5pm, up and down the Greenwood-Phinney neighborhood!

To see the participating venues and map, please visit the website.
