Go See Diné Artist Eric-Paul Riege’s Largest Show to Date at the Henry Art Gallery
With a mix of mediums, ojo|-|ólǫ́ examines questions surrounding the authenticity and ownership of Indigenous work.
It’s a phrase that’s been drilled into most of us since we were young children: When you’re visiting a gallery, please, do not touch the art. In many cases, it’s with good reason: the pieces on display are fragile, one-of-a-kind, or historic works that cannot be reproduced. It’s such an ingrained approach to the museum-going…
Better Together
This Seattle project presents an out-of-the-box model, where investors are also residents, and the design focuses on longevity and tenant retention—not profit.
Growing up in rural Detroit, Chad Dale spent many after-school and weekend hours playing with neighborhood kids in an open lot near his house. It’s an experience he always hoped his children would have someday, but by the time he became a father in Seattle, land was at a premium: either already developed or prohibitively…
Rearview Mirror: Ballet’s Saddest Story, New Art in the Sculpture Park, and a Home-Grown Wine Label Promoting Social Justice
Things I did, saw, ate, learned, or read in the past week (or so).
Circular Thinking I am very lucky to live just a 12-minute walk away from Seattle Art Museum’s Olympic Sculpture Park. It’s a regular destination for my weekly walks and, aside from the world-class art, has one of the city’s best views of Puget Sound. Earlier this week, I went on a wet, windy walk and discovered…
Studio Sessions: Gabriel Stromberg
For his current show at studio e gallery, Gabriel Stromberg explores the challenges of working with clay.
Gabriel Stromberg has been a name about town for nearly two decades. As one of the cofounders of design firm Civilization (where he was the creative director and lead designer from 2008 to 2022), Stromberg worked on many award-winning projects, helped produce the wildly popular and always packed Design Lecture Series, and co-created and moderated…
Rearview Mirror: Cool Jewels, a Record Store Relocation, and the Book the Internet Can’t Stop Talk About
Things I did, saw, ate, learned, or read in the past week (or so).
Book Buzz If you’re in certain circles of the internet—or frankly, a follower of the New York Times—you’ve probably stumbled upon the recent discourse surrounding Lindy West’s new book, Adult Braces: Driving Myself Sane. I read and enjoyed her 2016 memoir, Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman, which essentially cemented her place in the pantheon…
Studio Sessions: Cristina Martinez
On the cusp of a new group show, Northwest artist Cristina Martinez reflects on storytelling, motherhood, and personal success.
Artistically inclined from a young age, Cristina Martinez was attending fashion school when she had a realization: Her passion wasn’t necessarily sparked by the clothes she was sketching, but by the stories behind her work. Drawing from her Black and Mexican roots, and from the lives, histories, and cultures of the community around her, Martinez…
Best Places to Live: Bellevue
A growing tech hub across the lake.
Long known as a quiet, bedroom community to Seattle, Bellevue has emerged as one of the region’s social and economic power hubs. Boasting a diverse population and some of the state’s top-ranked schools, this Eastside city has experienced continued growth in recent years, with families and young professionals topping out its ranks of new residents….
Best Places to Live: Gig Harbor
For a quiet retirement—or just a slower pace.
In the south sound, gig harbor lures people with the promise of tranquility, space, and some of the most striking views in the region. The city’s picturesque history stretches back to the 1840s—it was named after the small captain’s gig in which the Wilkes Expedition first arrived—and it has evolved into a scenic community known…
Best Places to Live: Woodinville
A close-knit, family-friendly community.
Say Woodinville, and the first thing most people think of is wine, but with a growing arts scene, independent agricultural ventures, and top-notch hospitality holdings, this formerly sleepy suburb is stepping up to become a coveted destination for buying a home. “It still feels like a true community, where people know each other and local…
Best Places to Live: Everett
For those looking to get in on the ground level.
Less than 30 miles north of Seattle, Everett was built from working-class roots, with industries such as logging, lumber, and aerospace manufacturing at its core. In recent years, the city has enticed an increasingly younger crowd attracted by housing affordability and job opportunities. “We’re seeing mostly working-age talent in their late 20s to early 40s…
Rearview Mirror: Spring Tea, an Arty Anniversary, and a New Look for Woodinville Whiskey
Things I did, saw, ate, learned, or read in the past week (or so).
Last Weekend to See Red Angels Every once in a while, a piece of art comes along and metaphorically knocks your whole world akilter. It becomes a kind of touchstone for other work, and something you come back to again and again in your head. For me, one of those pieces is Ulysses Dove’s Red…
Artist Dylan Neuwirth Explores His Past in a New Short Novel
Known best for his neon and sculpture work, the Tacoma-based creative has released his rawest work to date—in written-word form.
Dylan Neuwirth approaches life with the intensity of someone who seems to think they are always on the verge of losing it all. Whether making music, cycling hundreds of miles without stopping, or bending large-format neon pieces—all of which he’s done—there’s an all-in attitude that borders on obsession. Luckily for Neuwirth, he possesses the talent,…
When it Comes to Ski Resorts, Sometimes Smaller is Better
Finding great snow—and an old-school sense of community—on a trip to Eastern Idaho.
Last month, at the end of a particularly cold midweek afternoon—with visibility declining and snowfall increasing—I hopped off the Triple 88 chairlift, one of two main lifts at the Pomerelle Mountain Resort in Albion, Idaho, and immediately headed to the left, where a series of long blue runs leads back down the mountain through an…
