Capitol Hill Art Walk!

Blitz: Capitol Hill's New Arts Walk Kickoff Thursday June 11



On Thursday, June 11, Capitol Hill is launching Blitz - a new monthly arts walk showcasing the businesses and creative cultures that thrive on the Hill. Produced by the Capitol Hill Chamber of Commerce (CHCC), the walk includes a range of arts including visual art and music, performance art and even culinary arts. Blitz will keep the neighborhood hopping from 5:00 - 8:00 pm next week and the event will continue on the second Thursday of each month.



No gallery? No problem! Put your art on a stick and join the parade!

To help celebrate the June 11 launch, Blitz is featuring an all-invited ‘Art-on-a-Stick Parade.’ The parade begins at the Broadway Performance Hall Plaza at Seattle Central Community College, where double-dutch jump rope team, On the Double, will kick off the parade. Artists and members of the community are encouraged to join in and present their talent to the public. The parade will follow along a route of businesses participating in Blitz and will end at performance space/tea house, Electric Tea Garden (1402 E. Pike Street), where the artwork will be displayed. The Electric Tea Garden is also hosting the Blitz after-party, featuring DJ’s and dancing.

Tiny Repetitive Motions Exhibition at Bluebottle

Dana Robson and Moxie showcase work that explores the intersection of craft and art focusing on humanity and it's collective nature.

Artist Reception: Thurs, June 11th, 6 - 8 pm
Free + open to the public. In coordination with the Capitol Hill Art Walk

Runs: June 4 - 30, 2009

Dan Robson:
Dana utilizes maps as her canvas with needlepoint thread as her drawing medium. She works on small scale-tiny pieces as she feels they are intimate experiences between the work and the viewer. Her imagery is dominated by tiny things in nature that have a big impact.

Moxie:
Moxie is an experimental and self-taught artist. She communicates through fiber alchemy, reveling in the transformation of soft, comforting wool fiber into art objects that are solid to the touch. Her work is needle felted and uses no water, knitting, sewing, stuffing, embroidery or glue. She sculpts using only her hands, wool fiber, industrial felting needles and time.

Justin Hillgrove
Justin Hillgrove grew up in Snohomish, Washington and has been enjoying artistic expression since he was old enough to color on the walls. Mostly self taught, he has since enjoyed many years of freelance illustration and design, working on everything from collectible card games to bobble heads. Justin's "Imps and Monsters" series is his creative outlet. The creatures depicted and the satyrical situations they find themselves in are reflections of moments which Justin finds amusing, many of which are inspired by his children.


Mike Lewis
After receiving his BFA in Illustration from Syracuse University in NY, Mike traveled to Seattle to begin his art career. He worked for several years on the west coast, showing in galleries like Lunar Boy Gallery, Gallery 110, Gallery 070 and the Hive Gallery. Mike now lives in the foothills of the White Mountains in New Hampshire, where he continues to show his illustrative paintings across the country.
