“H2O - The Element of Water” by Heidi Barnett
"I love painting water; it is reflective, moving, and often colorful. This body of work represents water in its many forms, such as ocean, fog, and rain. Many of the H2O series also includes the animals and the life that happens in water. Living in the Seattle area, we are so blessed to be surrounded by water and this has been a heavy influence on my work."

“A View of the Pacific Northwest” by Ryan Bagley
"My show this month is an accumulation of my life experiences in the PNW. From the golden wheat fields of Montana to Seattle's skyscrapers, my work speaks to those who are familiar with these sights through their life. Happy 2019! And all glory to God"

Our mission is to promote, encourage, and serve as an advocate for fine artists. Come meet the Artists Nov.17th, Sat. 4:00 to 9:00.

June 4 through 30 - Ebb Pate and Rachel Muller -
Rachel Muller presents “Inspired by Ancient Egypt” with pieces reminiscent of the surviving art from tombs and monuments.
Ebb Pate states In “A Vision Beyond”,” Since coming to the Northwest 30 years ago, I have been continually inspired by the natural beauty of where we live, and strive to express my awe through my landscapes.”

June through September - Robert E Gigliotti, Guest Sculptor.
Art is a yearning for immortality and, as such, can become a method to challenge people’s paradigms and reveal that All Is One. Art is bigger than the sum of it’s parts. The great American philosopher, Ken Wilber, said that the goal of great art is the revelation of non dual spirit. Non dual spirit means that not only are we connected but we are literally One. Quantum physics can demonstrate this. My art is an attempt to illustrate this visually. By removing elements from a scene that the mind expects to be there creates space for new insights.  www.parklanegallery.org

Come share in our madness and friendship during May ARTwalk on Thursday 17th, 6-9 PM  - 2856 NW Market Street, Seattle, WA

“Out of the basement and onto the walls” features recent artworks by BallardWorks’ Printmakers’ Group Helen Curtis, Diane Davis, Dionne Haroutunian, Scott Kolbo, Vicki Platts-Brown, Anna Savoie, Garett Sweany and Sebastian Voorhes.

Displayed on all three floors, the exhibit includes prints – monotypes, woodblock carvings, etchings — constructions, collages, drawings, and mixed media from tiny to very large, from black and white to colorful, from abstract to realistic renderings. The Group has been working together, inspiring and supporting each other, sharing techniques and knowledge around excellent food and beverages for the past five years.

With more than 100 artists at more than 70 venues throughout the neighborhood, the Artwalk runs from 6-9 p.m. Friday and again from 12-5 p.m. Saturday. Artists may not be present at each venue both days (check the Artwalk website for details).

Friday night is especially fun as hundreds of neighbors turn out (especially if the weather is good) and it turns into a kind of neighborhood party. Some venues will have free refreshments or music or kids activities. Some restaurants and pubs will offer Artwalk specials.

The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony and community festival are free and open to the public! However, to visit the galleries during Opening Weekend, you will need to reserve tickets in advance. This will be a fun filled two days with multiple events you will want to attend.
