Opening this weekend at the Tacoma Art Museum is the new exhibit, Illuminating the Word: The Saint John’s Bible.
This is the only handwritten and illuminated Bible commissioned in over 500 years — since the advent of the printing press, and was created in the tradition of medieval handwritten manuscripts.
The calligraphy was done […]
Some of my favorite artists are hanging around the Seattle Art Museum right now – Monet, Manet, Degas, and Cézanne (image at right: Still Life With Statuette), among others. These are just a few of the artists you’ll see in the special exhibit Inspiring Impressionism: The Impressionists and the Art of the Past.
This exhibit […]
This weekend. . .
. . . head off to Puyallup and the Rubber Stamp & Paper Arts Festival.
If you’re one of the millions of people who are enjoyed the rubber stamping, paper arts and scrapbooking arts, you probably already have this weekend on your calendar.
There are lots of demonstrations, new products, classes and workshops. […]
I’ve always been a fan of Renoir — and remember the first time I saw some of his “real” art stuff. I was fascinated by his depiction of Parisian scenes, and it was probably why, at a young age, I fell in love with Paris — even if it was only the Paris seen […]

This week’s Carnival was hosted by CatSynth.com, so you’ll want to head over to read the full list of blog posts. You’ll also want to browse […]
Comics were always about a lot more than kid stuff. They were a snapshot of pop culture and society, told in a multi-level story. At the superficial level was the silly, often inane, story. But at a more base level, it was a take on what was going on it the world around us. […]
Where will you be NEXT Saturday? My recommendation is to go to Georgetown for the Second Saturday Art Attack.
Georgetown is an industrial neighborhood, and lately it’s been experiencing a bit of a renaissance with is burgeoning art community. To showcase and celebrate the numerous artists and creative business based in the neighborhood, while still […]
Viewing Prospect Fields, the current exhibit at Platform Gallery, is a bit like being a mouse in a maze. Except that you’ll get your bits of cheese along the way instead of just at the end.
Seattle resident Eric Eley has created an exhibit that does more than put stuff on the walls and floors […]
