Group show opens this Saturday.

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.

This show opens in tandem with Entrance Denied: the Art of the Chastity Belt, at Mineral (next door to Gallery 301). The Seven Deadly Sins runs from July 18-Aug. 18 (by appointment only; 253.250.7745). 301 Puyallup Ave., Tacoma 98421. Directions at www.lisakinoshita.com.
