Openings for sculpture show "Plankton" by Rebecca Welti and installation "Parable of Gravity" by Casey Curan. Welti's carvings are inspired by plankton, as seen under a microscope, with a deep awareness of our shared beginnings in the primeval oceanic soup. She utilized art and marine science to reveal the fascinating nature and personality of plankton. Despite their extremely small size and short lives, plankton are vital to our own survival. In "Parable of Gravity," the Seattle-based Curran combines elements of mythology, science and religion to foster a conversation around humanity’s goals and visions for the future on Earth. The installation consists of several large sculptural elements, a rectilinear formation of 20 scaffolded wooden towers and an otherworldly kinetic garden that appears to be taking over and growing out of the work. This exhibition is a parable of a landscape in transition. It is a display of both decay and growth, referencing the unstoppable momentum of significant human innovations that are capable of shifting our cultural paradigm.

He first gained attention as an artist in the 1920s through the Northwest Annuals of the Seattle Fine Arts Society followed by recognition in prominent national and international venues. This exhibition along with the accompanying publication secures the reputation of one of Washington state's greatest artists.

Gallery show opening of exhibitions by Brian Dempsey and Bill Dilley. Brian's new work continues to explore the three "C’s" of painting: composition, color and content. Compositionally, he dedicates time initially on drawing, hopefully creating something visually compelling beyond the subject matter. With color, he enjoys pushing the limits of the pigment, using a lot of strong color. Content is influenced by nature, dream and the unconscious. Bill Dilley, an established Northwest artist, continuously explores his conscious and unconscious life through multiple media. His work spans from oils and canvas to bronze and cherry wood, from huge totems to easily accessible paintings. His inspiration is found in nature, family and dreams. This exhibition is a collection of his bronze and stone sculptures.
