If you haven't heard all ready Seattle is having yet another amazing art pop off. This weekend, April 28th and 29th The Bemis Building will be hosting their semi-annual art show.
Well, its coming towards the end of the month and if you haven't checked it go hit the The Upstairs for the current exhibit of Seattle Artists.
Owner Cory Chigbrow selects and curates a contemporary blend of art that is conversational and appealing to the eye. Art pieces range from figurative, narrative, realism, landscapes, all done in the modern contemporary realm; relevant to taste any guest passing through.
The Art, hung salon style is presented crisp and clean as though you walked into Seattle's coolest on the down low rotating gallery. Each piece is numbered while the tables are garnished with an Eatable Title Sheet. The Title Sheets change flavor daily. The day I went, it was black bean quesadilla. Just joking about the Title Sheet being eatable, though it is a good idea.
If you're an early bird, The Upstairs opens at 5pm. It really is the best time to just embrace yourself in the art with nothing or no one around, except for a cocktail or a pint of one of the rotating taps. Cruise in later, chill and chat. Any tourists that like art, stop on in when exploring Seattle.
The month of May show at the Upstairs will feature guest curator Michael Tolleson. Michael Tolleson, owner of Heart of Spectrum and Continuum Gallery will be curating a show exhibiting artist within the full spectrum of Autism/Aspergers.
See you at the Side Show!!!
Hi folks. It has been so long since I last posted, I might as well be new to this. I used to run around and write about restaurants and bars in Belltown--both new ones you haven't heard of and old ones you should be reminded of.
Belltown folks of Seattle, guess whats making hot national news right now? Art is! Artist from Seattle. Artist from Belltown. Who are they? Do your research and be stoked to be living in Seattle as Art is making its moves.
So have you seen this piece yet anyway?
This beautiful mural "Gateway" was painted on a mansion in the exquisite Belle Meade area, which is on the outskirts of Nashville Tennessee. The home, off a busy Boulevard has stirred up much attention. After talking to a few colleagues that know Nashville and this house - the story is (or gossip) - the mural exhibits itself from a distant trail in history better known as the Trail of Tears.
Some citizens of the area oppose this mural and are fighting to get it removed. If not this mural sit on the banks of the death of many Cherokee Indians; Jackson Blvd becomes a Trail of Tears if the city creates ordnance to have this art removed.
All this, a place, a piece in history. Congratulations to the Artist that accomplished this work.
The inaugural Sideshow, presented by Belltown Arts Revue, happens tomorrow night from 8pm-2am. This is a free event, but we're giving away two sets of VIP tickets. Read on to find out more about The Sideshow and how to enter.
