The response to our call to artists for re-ART ’08 was awesome. We received 130 individual entries of art from recycled materials from nearly 30 different artists in a great variety of mediums.  Our jurors did a great job bringing the overall number down to a manageable amount, while keeping the show interesting and fun.  We are excited to be showing the work of 22 Northwest artists dedicated to finding re-creative and lasting ways to re-use what might be otherwise discarded.  There’s no junk here!  Just re-ART!

Tacoma (and environs) will be represented by:
Brett Carlson, Cara Jennings, Blue Hesikx, Jefferson Elliott, Alice Di Certo, Sherry Broussard, Satya Bradshaw, Cash, Christine Parent, Tim Mulligan, Jennevieve Schlemmer, Danella Sydow, Chris Wooten, Ann Darling, Steve Lawler and Ms. Seberson’s 2008 3rd grade class at Washington-Hoyt Elementary.

From Seattle: Chas Guidry, Monika Lidman and Heather Daveno

from Olympia: Diane Kurzyna

and from Port Townsend: Suzan Hazard and Loran Scruggs

Remember! re-ART’08 is about our community.  30% of gross sales will be going to help the Tacoma Food Co-op get up and running as well as support the Sierra Club Zero Waste Committee.

Please join us for an artists’ reception and gala opening Saturday October 18 from 3 – 7 pm.  Many of the artists will be present.
