Photos from Hanforth Gallery reception

Thank you all for showing your support. Loved seeing everyone!



Deborah Greenwood's beautiful mixed media pieces in foreground.





My wonderful friend Bill Schlambush figuring out the Dolly Parton quote. A little brain teaser. Bill, of course, with that big brain of his, figured it out with only minimal hints.

Opening reception tomorrow night.

Yesterday I finished hanging work for a show at the Handforth Gallery. I'm sharing the space with a great mixed media artist named Deborah Greenwood. Looking forward to an opening reception tomorrow night, Thursday, October 15th, at 6pm.

All of the pieces are regular ReMixes and also large ReMixes. Here are a few shots:







A quote from Dolly Parton with each ReMix containing one word from the quote.

It says:

"The way I see it,
if you want the rainbow,
you have to put up
with the rain."

Music and Art in Wright's Park

Tomorrow, the 15th, all the festivities begin. Things start movin' at noon and the Painkillers (with myself and Ava King) will be on stage soon after.

But the best bet is to come and check out the sounds from the beginning since I know it starts with a sparkle. Tallest Tree (otherwise known as the not so distant past's Aviso) will start the day out right. Can't wait to see them. One of the guys, Geoff, used to play drums in a band with Drew called Committee for Public Safety...he is the best.

Am so excited for the doings of Girl Trouble and the Plastards too. Never a let down.

After the park show comes to a close at 8pm the Painkillers have another show at Doyle’s Public House, 208 St. Helen’s Ave. The opening act is our dear friend Jesse Quitslund all by himself at the ready. Not to be missed, no how.

A fun packed day partially for the kiddies and always for the adults!

The Seven Deadly Sins
Opening Saturday, July 18, 4-8p.m.

Gallery 301 is pleased to present The Seven Deadly Sins, opening Saturday, July 18, 4-8p.m.

This show explores the age-old vices that have vexed mankind, recast by artists in a modern light. The Seven Deadly Sins tackles the problem of sin in mixed-media art and video. In addition, the show offers commentary by people from different walks of life, who write about sin from the perspective of their profession. In this sense, it is a community project with intriguing implications. Please join us for the opening from 4-8p.m. Featured artists and writers include: Mindy Barker, Beautiful Angle, Joe Black, Daniel Blue, Brett Carlson, John Carlton, Chris Causey, Alec Clayton, Bill Dawson, Kyle Dillehay, Lynn DiNino, Marc Dombrosky, Bagger 288, Erica Fickeisen, Kyle Franklin, Becky Frehse, Walter Gaya, Debra Hannula, Robert Jacklin, Rick Jones, Charles Krafft, Denise Ladenburg, Malcolm McLaren, Linda Nyland, Claudia Riedener, Cathy Sarkowsky, Kathy Schultz, Chris Sharp, Seong Shin, and Niki Sullivan.

And next door is:

Entrance Denied: the Art of the Chastity Belt

Please join us for the opening of this show of contemporary chastity belts at Mineral, on Saturday, July 18, 4-8p.m.

This show is a part of Metal-Urge, the Tacoma Arts Commission's summer-long showcase of the metal arts.
