Onyx Fine Arts: the party's just begun

The party's not over yet at King Street Station -- in fact, "Truth B Told" has just found its second wind. 

With help from the Northwest Tap Connection, Onyx Fine Arts is celebrating the two-week extension of our group art exhibit! [happy dance]

In addition to the performance and visual pieces, Onyx Fine Arts will also host literary artists.

The African American Writer's Alliance will read poetry about the visual art in "Truth B Told." Looking forward to it!

Someone you know needs art

I'd like to share a happy moment with you, an unintentional pay-it-forward thing. Recently I talked to the person who bought this altered book, "Daddy Loves Me."

She said she'd wanted to purchase something I made, and the altered book came along at the right time. But it didn't quite feel like it 'belonged' to her. She decided to gift it to another friend. Immediately the recipient's eyes welled up.

The collector had had a difficult relationship with his father, but the art brought up a treasured memory: a childhood moment when he knew for sure that his daddy loved him.

That piece sold in 2015, and at the time I was quite happy someone wanted to take it home. But now I'm profoundly grateful as well: I feel that I helped someone remember a moment where everything was right and beautiful in his world.

Onyx Fine Arts: Invitation from the 'King'

I know most people think of trains and buses when they see King Street Station, but I've only ever experienced it as the cavernous, sunlit art venue it is now. 

And I'm reveling in the fact that my work will be shown there throughout January!

Of course, when you see them they'll be on the walls. ©Lisa Myers Bulmash

I'd love to show you around at the reception this Sunday. Details:

By Sunday, this space will look like an urban prairie full of art, with light pouring in from every side Come see it in person: you'll be floored.
