LAST CHANCE:
"Crow/Raven: Magic & Mystery" at ArtEast. “To know the crow is to know ourselves,” writes John Marzluff, award-winning author of In the Company of Crows and Ravens. The strange familiarity of crows and ravens has intrigued humans for centuries, inspiring mythic interpretation, artistic expression, and scientific inquiry. “Crow/Raven: Magic and Mystery” brings together these human responses to crows through two art exhibitions, artist talks, and public lectures. The series runs through July 12 at the artEAST Art Center and Blakely Hall in the Issaquah Highlands.
"Deep Pulls: A Screen printing Art Show" at Ltd Gallery. A look into the childhood of some of the Northwest's top Screen Printers. Growing up, those obscure references of pop culture become as important to us as the mainstream icons we all know so well. We revel in their uniqueness that solidifies their presence in our memories, and we truly feel connected to them as they are special…to just us. Show runs thru 13 July!

The resulting collection straddles the line between a series of independent images and a sequential narrative, in which recurring motifs and developing styles translate the most complex novel of the 20th Century into an evolving story in pictures.

Eight and Sand - "Icons of Horror" by Reed Carpenter. There are certain objects that if viewed by themselves appear innocuous, perhaps almost comical...but to those who have been raised watching horror films, to those who delight in the tingles of the spine, a simple hockey mask can immediately bring up memories of a film half-seen through the fingers, popcorn spilling from the lap as the bodycount rises. This show explores the idea of horror movie icons, items that even seen in the light of day can pull you right back to that feeling you got seeing Jason lumber out of the darkness for the first time, seeing the Cenobites half-shrouded in darkness promising secrets no mortal should know. Through a variety of mediums, a handful of these objects are presented here...what memories do these bring back for you?

| Gina Tolentino @ Pettirosso |
The Capitol Hill Art Walk ~ Thursday, 10 July from 5-9pm. Selected shows:
Cloud Gallery - "Narratives & Dialogs" by Jeff Mihalyo. The artist discusses world and philosophical issues through a multifaceted system of symbolic and narrative compositions. Each painting emphasizes a need for balance in order to explore the complexity of the theme. He conveys the need for balance through a poetic arrangement of his subjects and by presenting multiple viewpoints of an issue within the painting’s narrative. This multi-dimensional approach to the portrayal of a “vision” allows each image to behave as an open-ended statement. The setting and characters of each picture can appeal to the viewer’s psychology, inviting one to develop questions about what is depicted and ultimately draw one’s own conclusions about the meaning of the work. The suggested narrative and viewer interpretation is key to the interplay between the artist and his audience.
Ghost Gallery - "Chromatic: A Watercolour Exhibition" featuring Seattle artists Braden Duncan, Chandler Woodfin, Levi Hastings, Rich M Stevens and Siolo Thompson. Catering and Cocktails by Wonder Lust Catering, the creative culinary effort of Chef Mike Stamey.
Joe Bar - "We are Witness" by Lindsey Rae Gjording. A collection of multimedia art and photography that has varying shades of meaning and is only now making sense as it forms itself into the whole. Sight and sightlessness. Women as worship. Blind by gold leaf. The acknowledgement that sometimes by seeing you are not just a viewer but a witness.
Ltd Gallery - "Deep Pulls" (encore)
PettiRosso - Gina Tolentino, paintings inspired by the flora and fauna of the oceans, as well as vintage burlesque costumes, circus life, and high fashion.
True Love Gallery - "Art Fusion" featuring old and new works from Starheadboy, Joseph Brooks, Claudio Duran, Narboo and Aaron Winnenberg. Opening night party will include a live, collaborative piece by all the artists.
Also check out new work at Americana, Apocalypse Tattoo, Blindfold Gallery, Caffe Vita, Capitol Cider, Cupcake Royale, Front Seat Gallery, High 5 Pie, In-Arts Collective, Laughing Buddha, Online Cafe, Paris Eastside, PCNW, Poco Wine + Spirits, Retrofit Home, SAAM, Saints Gallery, STart Wall Project, SugarPill, Vermillion, and more!

The West Seattle
Art Walk ~ Thursday, 10 July
from 6-9pm. Selected shows:
Twilight Gallery - "Stellar: Evidence of an Alternate Space Program" by Stasia Burrington.
“What I’m after – childish wonder, stark beauty, vast loneliness + absurd simplicity. Exploration, finding comfort in the unknown + active curiosity. This will be sort of a silly show. I’m not a scientist, or an astronaut, this is just a portrait of what I thought being a space explorer was like, when I was 10. I have this desire to touch emptiness, embrace the nonsensical, and lose a sense of proportion. Gadgets, physics and magic create a portrait of an innocent motivation to seek comfort and wonder in the unknown.” ~ Stasia

This month, Cullom Gallery will present Seattle artist Ellen Ziegler. Ellen Ziegler's solo exhibition, Vermilion, features a new series of large and small-scale drawings rendered with red transfer paper, an electrically-charged stylus, and gouache applied through punctured stencils. The series is an exploration of unrestrained, intuitive mark making, as well as a visceral embrace of the color vermilion’s rich visual power and its many-fold associations to geology, culture, biology, and art history. Ziegler’s drawings read as a micro/macro rush across the page, offering fleeting associations to ancient human imagery, microscopic forms, synaptic maps, and celestial space.
LxWxH Subscription Project - "Wavelength." June's box set from LWH is a music box!! Featuring a 7" lathe cut square record by Emily Pothast and David Golightly of Hair and Space Museum.

Also featured is musician Garek Jon Druss, who has made a series of wave form diagrams in watercolor using a Monophonic synthesizer, subtractive synthesis, and a twin oscillator wave form as a signal source and conceptual foundation. The result is a visually compelling drawing and painting of the aesthetics of sound. Your art comes in a beautifully hand-crafted box made by Steve Leroux! Only 2 boxes were still available the last time I checked!

LxWxH Subscription Project - "Wavelength." June's box set from LWH is a music box!! Featuring a 7" lathe cut square record by Emily Pothast and David Golightly of Hair and Space Museum. This record comes bound in a paperboard/fabric case that folds up into a 3D pyramid with printed surfaces. Also featured is musician Garek Jon Druss, who has made a series of wave form diagrams in watercolor using a Monophonic synthesizer, subtractive synthesis, and a twin oscillator wave form as a signal source and conceptual foundation. The result is a visually compelling drawing and painting of the aesthetics of sound. Your art comes in a beautifully hand-crafted box made by Steve Leroux! Only 2 boxes were still available the last time I checked!

ONGOING:
The SAAM is featuring "Deco Japan: Shaping Art & Culture 1920-1945" Jazz. Gin. Short hair and short skirts. The modern girl. The rise of film, and the advent of skyscrapers and air travel. After World War I, the world was changing rapidly. With the machine age came an increased emphasis on speed. The art world answered with Art Deco, which had a driving energy that found expression in its use of themes from cultures all over the world, wild appropriation of other art forms, and graphic designs with fast lines that could be adapted and used on everything from housewares to posters, and for everything from politics to advertising. By World War II, Art Deco had left its mark on almost every medium of visual art.Through 19 October. (from www.seattleartmuseum.org)

"Modernism in the Pacific Northwest: The Mythic and the Mystical." Meet
the mystics—the four artists who, in the late 1930s and ‘40s,
became known as the Northwest School of modern art. Fed by one another’s
passions and talents, Mark Tobey, Morris Graves, Kenneth Callahan, and
Guy Anderson sought to create art that consciously responded to the
world events around them. All saw art as a form of spiritual quest. All
were influenced by the Northwest’s swirling mix of Native American and
Asian traditions. Soon, they were known in New York and across the
country—regional artists whose visions, for a time, were universal. Show
runs thru 7 September.

much going on, you couldn't possibly complain that there's nothing to do in
Seattle!
Support your
local art scene! Cheers.
