Post-its, artists, ideas
I've been amazed by the level of response we've had from visitors to the museum and to this website to the request to help us build a list of Northwest artists. I've been keeping track of the number of Post-Its added to the "What About...?" wall in the gallery and we're up over 650 at this point--astounding! There's about another month to go for the exhibition (it closes on May 23). Think we'll break 1000? Thanks also to those of you who have provided names through blog comments.
I just added a whole new group of Northwest artist names to the "What About...?" page on this site but had a few suggestions and names that weren't specifically Northwest that I wanted to capture here. They include:
--an exhibition about cats
--Lynda Barry (amazing cartoonist, lived Seattle for a little while but really a Midwest girl)
--Peter Max
--Vance Tahmahkera
--Fikret Mualla (Turkish artist)
--Steve Hanks
--Gil Elvgren
--Bob Ross (the "happy trees" painter from PBS)
--Koji Suzaki (Japan)
--art about penguins
--an exhibition about mythology in art (greek gods, goddesses, heroes, and monsters)
