I can see it now: CoCA Members' Show
It’s coming up fast… think I can just make out the sign ahead…
This weekend I’m delivering artwork to be shown in “2020 Vision.” It’s the annual group show of work by members of the Center on Contemporary Art (CoCA Seattle). My assemblage sculpture “They Don’t Really Feel Pain” goes on gallery display with work by 114 of my artist friends, plus more artists showing their work on the CoCA website. (Here’s the backstory on this piece.)
I’d love to see you at the opening reception on March 5th, during the next Pioneer Square Art Walk. As you probably know, free parking for the art walk goes fast. Come join me for the first look at our show!
Making an appearance in the "Front Room"

... I'm coming back to his space this week too!
I've been invited to show some of my work in the Front Room Gallery at Juan Alonso Studio. On First Thursday art walk in Pioneer Square, I'll debut a new collage as well as some others you might have missed. Details:
Oh, and in case you were wondering, last week's fundraiser was a smash! Juan presented small works by 120 artists, including me, and raised a pretty penny for Lambda Legal, the ACLU and Planned Parenthood.
I'm just amazed I've gotten to double-dip, so to speak, and spend more time with such a wonderful artist. Will you join us?
"Like Mother...": babysitter optional
We're about to put the current iteration of "Like Mother" to bed (see what I did there?). But before the show closes at Art Xchange Gallery, let's talk about making art while parenting.
The gallery is hosting "ProCreators: Navigating Motherhood in the Art World" tomorrow afternoon. At 1pm, we'd love you to take a(nother) look at the art before we sit down to talk at 2pm. We'll chat about being parents in an industry that rarely acknowledges the existence of family life, as well as how parenthood can transform and shape one’s artwork in inspiring ways.
And if you have children -- no need to scramble for a babysitter before you join us! Art Xchange will have games, drawing and DVDs set up in their upstairs Loft area for kids. Looking forward to talking art with you in person!
