Ooh la la…The Seattle Art Museum is opening a new Nick Cave exhibition! SAM presents: Nick Cave: Meet Me at the Center of the Earth . The show opens March 10 th and promises to be quite fantastical! I have long enjoyed the playful inventive works of Nick Cave and you can read a little more about him from a Blog post I wrote in 2009. The show will be up from March 10 to June 5 - Check out the SAM for more details.  In the spirit of the Nick Cave show, the SAM Gallery is featuring an exhibition called Transformations also opening this Thursday, March 10 th . Featuring several wonderful artists who recycle, re-purpose and reuse discarded materials to create their artwork. While were on the subject of the SAM… a reminder that my show at Taste Restaurant opens next Wednesday, March 16 th!  For a fun art-filled evening pop in for a cocktail and then head up to the Nick Cave exhibition! Sounds like a perfect evening of art to me!

This announcement just popped up in my In-Box so I guess it’s officially time to spread the word. Hope you can join me at the TASTE restaurant for a brief opening reception on Wednesday, March 16th, from 5pm to 6pm.   Taste is located in the Seattle Art Museum and the interior space is beautifully designed making it a great showcase for artwork. Drop into the opening reception for a cocktail and the opportunity to talk with those who support the arts. RSVP: 206-903-5291. Taste Restaurant interior view.
