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!

How much time do you have left?

I’ve calculated exactly how much time you have left, down to the very last day.

The deadline to apply to “Between the Fold” is in nine days. In other words, you have two weekends plus a full work week to finish your book art and submit your application. Then it’s up to the jurors — me and Mighty Tieton co-founder Ed Marquand — to choose the stand-out artworks. All right, we’ve chatted enough. Upload your work and press send — it’s later than you think….

Know your history through collage

Maybe you don’t know much about history. Let’s fix that — in a fun way — by making art that links you to your family history.

Tomorrow I’m leading the first of two Family-Focused Collage Workshops. Meet me at the Woodinville Library at 1pm, and we’ll make a palm-sized collage about one of your relatives. Can’t make it to this event? Join me next Friday at the Duvall Library instead. These workshops are part of the King County Library System’s dive into Black history and futures.

It’s said you can’t know where you’re going if you don’t know where you’ve been. Why not borrow a book or three from the library that illuminates history through a Black lens? That way, you can connect your history to Black history, and see where it might lead you in the future.
