August 14-17, 2014: Who is where this week?

I’m out of town this week, but I was able to take a break and find a local coffee shop to do a quick post with events that past Flying House artists are in, because there are too many to let slip by.

Starting with an opening reception tonight, August 14, 6-9 pm, Sue Danielson’s latest paintings and collage will be on view at Blindfold Gallery, 1718 E. Olive Way, Seattle, in a solo show “PAST THROUGH: Exploring the Alteration of Memory” through September 6.
