This December, Trabant Coffee & Chai and the Seattle Arts Coalition present an
exhibition of similar yet singular Winter Solstice ornaments! Everyone
knows that no two snowflakes are alike... but what if they all started
as the same shape, and deviated independently?
The 1st annual
"Similar/Singular Solstice" show features more than a dozen local
artists and laser cut snowflakes courtesy of Bellevue Fine Art
Reproduction!
Featured artists:
Aleisha Larson
Braden Duncan
Brandy Tomlin
Christine Brauch
Cody Hunemuller
Corey Skillman
Heather Hudson
Jesse Porterfield
Kassandra Davis
Joey Brooks

And more!

Part of the First Thursday Seattle Pioneer Square Art Walk!
Show runs through 31 December
As many of you know, I am now the curator at Trabant
Coffee & Chai in Pioneer Square. For December, I'd like to have an
exhibition of similar yet singular Winter Solstice ornaments! Everyone
knows that no two snowflakes are alike... but what if they all started
as the same shape, and deviated independently?
The only
stipulation is that you use the original snowflake as the base of your
creation, and that it can hang from a ribbon on a wall so that we can
display it at the 1st Thursday Art Walk. (This doesn't mean your design
has to be 1-sided or even flat; feel free to 360 it!)
The materials:
Wooden laser cut snowflakes (provided by me, courtesy of Bellevue Fine Art Reproduction)
Ribbon for hanging (provided by me)
Your imagination (be creative and have fun!)
The challenge:
Create your own unique snowflake!
(No more than 3 per artist)
Laser cut snowflakes are available NOW! You can pick them up directly
through me as well as at Trabant in Pioneer Square. Trabant has a sign
up sheet for your name, contact info, and the # of snowflakes you're
making.
The deadline for art drop off will be Monday, 2
December at 6pm. I am happy to collect your snowflakes in person, or you
can drop them off at Trabant in Pioneer Square.
Pricing will
be up to each artist, but it would be nice to keep everything in the
$20-100 range, because people dig unique yet inexpensive gifts. :)
Trabant takes a 40% commission, so consider your pricing and material
costs accordingly.
If you are not a Seattle local, you are
still welcome to participate! Just message me with your name and
address, and I will send the snowflakes to you! Once they're decorated,
just send them back to me by December 2nd, and we'll include you in the
show!
Please post pics of your completed snowflakes here or
send them to my email: bcduncan.art@gmail.com. Pics I receive before the
29th will be featured on the flyer!
Feel free to contact me with any questions! Cheers!
