The Seattle Arts Coalition presents:
"We Are The Art"
A fundraiser to support artist involvement in the Seattle community
When & Where:
Krab Jab Studio
Saturday, 14 June from noon-9pm
(to coincide with the Georgetown Street Fair)
At the Event:
Art Faire featuring local vendors!
Live art!
Silent art auction!
And more!
Free and open to the public!
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.

Trabant Coffee & Chai and the Seattle Arts Coalition present:
"Stencil, Pop, Vinyl" - art on records by Dave Ryan (Manticore Stencil Art)
Opening reception:
Friday, 18 April from 6-9pm
(part of the University District Art Walk)
Encore receptions:
Friday, 16 May from 6-9pm
Friday, 20 June from 6-9pm
This exhibit will run for three full months! Keep coming back to see new additions to the show!
Manticore Art will also be part of the U District Streetfair! Saturday & Sunday, 17-18 June.
Dave Ryan was born and bred in the wet dank forests of Washington
State. He began stenciling in the spring of 2006 and started to refer to
himself as the Manticore.
In the summer of 2008 Dave broke his
neck while backpacking across the US. He had lost most of his fine
motor functions and used stenciling as both a means to regain the use of
his hands and as his sole income.
The Manticore has since made
a full recovery, and his unique blend of silly pop art can be found in
coffee shops, watering holes, and at Seattle's Fremont Sunday Market.
The Manticore is available for custom portraits.
The Seattle Arts Coalition is having our first official fundraiser! It will coincide with the Georgetown Street Fair the 2nd Saturday in June, and we'll be hosted by the generous folks at Krab Jab Studio.
"We Art The Art!"
We are currently looking for:
1. Artists and artisans who would like to vend at Krab Jab during the Fair (all proceeds go to you, the artist, unless you'd like to donate to the cause)
2. Artists who would like to donate original work or limited edition prints to the silent auction (art donations will be tax-deductible and all proceeds go to the SAC)
3. Local businesses who would like to donate merchandise or services for our raffle (we'll include you as sponsors on our press releases)
Please let us know if you're interested! We look forward to seeing you there!
The Georgetown Liquor Company & the Seattle Arts Coalition present:
"It's the End of the World as We Know It (And We Feel Adorable)"
Featuring the Happytime Apocalypse crew
In case you missed the HappyTime Apocalypse art
collective at Trabant Coffee/Laika Lounge this month, you can catch us
again in Georgetown as part of the April Georgetown Art Attack!
Opening reception:
Saturday, 12 April
6-9pm
HappyTime Apocalypse is an art collective that celebrates the balance
of dark and light, good and evil, happy and horrified. We aim to create
an artistic escape from the horrors of the world that surround us by
bringing attention to the humor and beauty within the maddening and
grotesque parts of the human experience, illuminating the opposing
forces of humanity within us all.
This is the official CALL FOR ART
