Must Marvel
Cris Bruch Solo Show at Frye Art Museum
(1/30 to 3/27, times vary) The longtime Seattle sculptor and public artist, whose highly finished, self-contained monoliths and subtle, irony-laced smaller works have for decades discreetly responded to their often unsympathetic surroundings, is the subject of a solo show that also includes his recent photographic works.

(2/2 to 2/27, times vary) Woody Allen’s musical adaptation of his popular mobsters and showgirls movie comes to Seattle, with period songs and dazzling choreography by the great Susan Stroman.

COOKING WITH ASTER PANTRY A few leaves turn, my inbox fills with fall festival pitches and cozy brunch menus, and suddenly I want to stay home with a glass of wine and cook. I love this nesting season, though I’m not ready to give up summer produce. Earlier this year, I wrote about Seattle chefs…
WALKDONTRUN Returns This Saturday, Turning Downtown Seattle Into a Sprawling Art Show
In its second year, the free festival brings 200-plus artists to a 20-block route September 19, with a secret garden and a former 7-Eleven stocked with art.
Most walks through downtown Seattle involve trying to get somewhere. On September 19, the crosswalk itself might be the reason to stop. Heap Troupe will turn a four-way crossing into a performance, one of dozens of encounters planned for this year’s WALKDONTRUN. The free, all-ages art walk stretches across more than 20 blocks. From 11…
At Two Dot Schoolhouse, Ruth Marie Tomlinson Builds an Artistic Community
For nearly 20 years, the Seattle artist and her husband have welcomed artists, writers, and musicians to a historic Montana schoolhouse. Now they’re searching for its next stewards.
At her solo exhibition last year at The Vestibule, Seattle artist Ruth Marie Tomlinson presented a new series of work inspired by her close readings of British nature writer J.A.

To be honest, my football knowledge starts with knowing what a touchdown is and doesn’t…
