Pioneer Square's monthly Art Walk always features a lot of local artists. But tonight their furry friends (and yours) can join in the fun.
CityDog magazine will showcase the work of Seattle dog photographers and artists, and participating galleries will open their doors to art-lovers' canine companions.
Here are suggestions of a few galleries to visit on your rounds — for humans, at least. Before taking your pup into any establishment, look for the CityDog Friendly sign.
Grover/Thurston Gallery
Seattle painter Fay Jones showcases her work in a range of scale and media. Her work draws on her life and involves her symbology of the sailor, rat, donkey and baby.
Her paintings are often featured in the Northwest — at the Seattle Art museum, the Tacoma Art museum and on posters for Bumbershoot and the Earshot Jazz Festival.
Reception: 6-8 p.m. today.
Hours: 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday
Address: 309 Occidental Avenue S., Seattle; 206-223-0816 or www.groverthurston.com.
CityDog Magazine art walk
CityDog Magazine hosts a one-night show of dog art at the old Fenix.
Reception: 5-9 p.m. today.
Address: 109 S. Washington St. (in the old Fenix), Seattle; www.citydogmagazine.com.
SOIL Gallery
The new members show boasts work by local artists Nola Avienne, Vesna Pavlovic, Renée Rhodes and Adam Satushek. University of Washington graduate Avienne addresses the themes of fragility and protection through drawings and sculptures with magnets. Pavlovic has lectured at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma. Her work presents photographic and projected images of model houses to express the shifting boundaries between public and private space.
Rhodes serves as the art gallery coordinator for South Seattle Community College. Through language of dance, she explores her relationship to space. And Bellingham native and UW graduate Satushek uses photography to examine how people and their environment influence each other.
Reception: 6-9 p.m. today.
Hours: noon-5 p.m. Thursday-Sunday.
Address: 112 Third Ave. S., Seattle; 206-264-8061 or soilart.org.
Davidson Contemporary
Seattle artists Tram Bui, Matthew Landkammer and Dion Zwirner will be showcased. Bui's paintings depict urban settings with building silhouettes overlaid with geometric patterns. Landkammer uses acrylic on panel or canvas to create subtly striped minimalist paintings. And Zwirner investigates the space between representation and abstraction through different landscapes.
Reception: 6-8 p.m. today.
Hours: 11 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday.
Address: 310 S. Washington St., Seattle; 206-624-7684 or www.davidsoncontemporary.net.
Marian Liu: 206-464-3825 or mliu@seattletimes.com
