The 4th Annual Coaster Show – La Luz de Jesus Gallery: September 2nd – October 2nd, 2016

It’s hard to believe this year is already the fourth annual installment of the La Luz de Jesus Coaster Show! What started as a last minute substitution has grown into a legitimate institution–one of the most anticipated events of the LA Art Scene.

We’ve all done it. We’ve sat at the bar, drinking a beer and doodled on a coaster.

But most of us aren’t the extremely skilled painters, illustrators, animators, tattooists, sculptors or collage artists that are featured in this exhibition that takes a love of craft brewing and elevates it to high art.

We produced a custom canvas for some of our favorite gallery folks to do what they do best, and transform a 4″ tondo coaster into museum worthy exhibition pieces.

In these past four years, we’ve dotted our walls with thousands of tiny masterpieces, and this year we’ve got almost a thousand more, each priced $250 or less.

“Water” – Cactus Gallery: August 13th, 2016

‘Water’ Themed Group Show and 10th Annual Frogtown Art Walk

Water
Scheduled to run August 13 – September 1, 2016
Opening reception: Saturday, August 13, 2016 * 4p-10p

In conjunction with the 10th Annual FROGTOWN Art Walk, and the CURRENT:LA Public Art Biennial, Cactus Gallery will be hosting a show in which artists were asked to create works that center around the theme of water.

The Frogtown Art Walk – now celebrating its tenth anniversary – is a yearly free tour of the studios of the artists and artisans of Elysian Valley (Frogtown).

The BOWTIE parcel which is just on the other side of the L.A. River from Cactus Gallery is one of the sites chosen for CURRENT: LA Water, Los Angeles’ first citywide Public Art Biennial. The biennial runs July 16 – August 14, so the art walk was scheduled to overlap this event and we are complementing the idea via a water theme.

Participating artists: Donna Abbate, Ricardo Ales, Douglas Alvarez, Joe Alvarez, Patrizia Ambrosini, Susan Amorde, Ulla Anobile, Julie B, Lea Barozzi, Christine Benjamin, Terri Berman, Denise Bledsoe, Andrea Bogdan, Alea Bone, Lioba Bruckner, Lacey Bryant, Simona Candini, Joe Carrion, Carol Connett, Laura Cosner, Henry Cram, Cora Crimson, Elisa Garcia, Rosie Garcia, Valency Genis, Katia Goa, Annette Hassell, Anita Inverarity, Brooke Kent, Patricia Krebs, Malathip Kriheli, Mavis Leahy, Ann Lim, Ronald Llanos, Jerry Montoya, Catherine Bursill Moore, Roger O’Leary-Archer, Janet Olenik, Tom Oliver, Corine Perier, Sarah Polzin, Olga Ponomarenko, Jen Raven, Bobby Rojas, Joshua Roman, Lena Sayadian, Bobby Selvaggio, Kelly Thompson, Joe Vollan, Yishu Wang, Liba WS and Gabriela Zapata.

Seattle Squared Art Show and Book Release – Axis Gallery: August 4th, 2016

Curated by BHerd, Seattle Squared is the culmination of eight years of running a gallery, curating shows and events, and wanting to promote and further the beauty, talent, and thoughtfulness of the Seattle art scene. Each artist participating received a square panel to create a new piece of work for this exhibit, which will also be featured in a limited edition collectible book designed by Sarra Scherb of Brass Archer Media.
Featuring the talents of: Adam 1, Amanda Stalter, Braden Duncan, Brian White, CASH, Christopher J. Olson, Chris Sheridan, David Francis, DKOY, Ego, Gabriel Marquez, Jeff Jacobson, Jeff Mihalyo, Jeremy Gregory, Joe Vollan, John Osgood, Justin Hilgrove, Kari-Lise Alexander, Kate Protage, Kellie Talbot, Megon Shoreclay, Michelle Anderst, Miguel Edwards, Nichole DeMent, Robert Hardgrave, Roy Powell, Seb Barnett, Sensei23, Siolo Thompson, Stephen Rock, Troy Gua and Zachary Bohnenkamp.

Why Seattle Squared?

It’s what we believe brought us the valued community that we have been so grateful to have been a part of and to have called our family. When you square something in math you multiply a number by itself. This is truly how you create a revolution. Whatever your cause, you cannot do it by yourself, you must square yourself to make a difference. While we are leaving our community, we know that others have been working on the same mission and the Seattle art scene is rich with talented artists and art promoters.
