Our goal:
We have non-profit status in WA State, but we still need the 501(c)3
stamp of approval from the federal government. It costs money to file
the paperwork, but once we have it, all donations to the Coalition will
be tax deductible, and we'll have more options available to help local
artists achieve their professional art goals. All fundraiser proceeds
will go toward our 501(c)3 filing and sponsoring our upcoming art
events!
The Seattle Arts Coalition (SAC) is a non-profit
organisation committed to providing artists with necessary tools of the
professional art trade and promoting artist engagement in the Seattle
community and beyond. We sponsor events for artists and artisans
including exhibitions, art fairs, and forums. The SAC offers curating,
installation and PR services, as well as advice and questions answered
to artists interested in showing and selling their work in the
Northwest.
Directed by Seattle artists and curators Braden
Duncan of BC Duncan Design and Rachel Setzer of Setzer Studio Arts, the
SAC is our chance to share with fellow artists what we've learned in our
quests to turn art making into a career. We want art and the art making
process to be more accessible, available, and profitable for artists
and their communities - not just locally, but nationally and globally as
well. Art has the ability to direct and shift cultural perspective, and
Seattle artists should be at the forefront of the contemporary art
movement. It starts here in Seattle, as we encourage artists to become
more active and involved in their communities, and it spreads as we all
do our part to pay it forward. Please join us and help support your
local art scene!
The Seattle Arts Coalition would like to thank Krab Jab Studio for generously donating their art space to us for the evening!
Trabant Coffee & Chai & the Seattle Arts Coalition present:
"Don't Lick the Fine Print"
The Collagemonauts are taking over Trabant with a
delectable series of collage works! We invite you to look as closely as
you like, just don't lick the fine print...
Opening reception:
Thursday, 5 June
6-9pm
Show runs through 30 June
The Collagemonauts are Marty Gordon, Tim Manthey and Craig van den
Bosch. It began with a series of collaborative collage journals in 2011
modeled after the Exquisite Corpse technique of art making in which no
image is sacred. The collaboration has since evolved into larger scale
pieces, and will soon include a graphic novel, a short film, and more!
Their work explores themes of space, religion, indigenous people, and
medical science. This show features the Collagemonauts' collaborative work as well as individual pieces by Marty, Tim, and Craig.
