New Show Opening This Weekend - December 8.

A new show of four artists, filling the entire gallery with work, opens this weekend. The show is titled: Healing Rain, curated by David Felker, MFA. This is a very exciting show - possibly one of the best on display in Seattle at this time. The work runs the gamut of creativity: two fabric artists, an assemblage artist, and a painter/ photographer. There is a large panel of fabric and paintings;   work hanging from the ceiling; large dresses; large rectangular inlaid boxes; and concrete on board.

The artists are:
Deborah Barnes:  Fashion RIP Project
Anthony Huss:  Paintings and Photography
Don Metke:   Wood Assemblages
Beverly Naidus:  Fabric Panel Installation.

Opening parties will be held on both Saturday, December 8, 6 to 8 pm and Sunday, December 9, 3 to 5 pm.

For information or questions, please email Anthony at anthonyhuss09 at gmail dot com.

Great night at Back To The Beat

While we have tried to put Back To The Beat in a box, that is define the forum and program, we have quickly learned to expect the unexpected. Each evening is different from the rest, and yet beautiful and entertaining to all.

Last evening began with a review of the artwork of Sir Jonathan Walker. Jonathan is an incredibly talented artist best known for his portrait work. Sir Jon is a world traveler (lived in Egypt, Japan, and many other places) and is well known in Los Angeles and Las Vegas for his art. He has created portraits of many of the famous celebrities and sports stars in those locales. Using a single pencil, and no eraser, he creates uncanny likenesses that capture their essence. His work has been purchased, and others signed, by many celebrities.

But Sir Jonathan is a multi-faceted individual with many skills. We learned, and heard, about his writings into metaphysics and numeretics. He is a published author of several books, with more in the stages of completion.

We also heard some of the wonderful poetry of Ranaan David. Ranaan is a native of Israel who now makes his home in Seattle as a videographer. He has created unique art videos that we hope he will share at a future date. His professional work can be found here.

Back To The Beat goes beyond an opportunity to present material. It represents an opportunity to discuss work at the philosophical and spiritual level, and open the door to possibilities of expression beyond this one evening. Come and experience Back To The Beat for yourself.

Back To The Beat Performance Scheduled

Last week we welcomed talented poet Liam Spencer. A small group was on hand to hear some cutting edge readings. Thank you, Liam.

This week we are proud to welcome Brian Hutton who will present his performance art entitled "Return Of the 20th Century Man".  Brian makes his home in Anchorage, Alaska, but is a regular to Seattle as well. Other artists will be presenting, so this promises to be a "don't miss" night. Please join us for another great night of fun, creativity, and intellectual enrichment.
