Fall Art Attack Arrives in Force!

Georgetown Art Attack Launches Fall Offensive

Saturday, September 12, 6-9pm

The Georgetown Second Saturday Art Attack continues to present provocative visual, performing and applied arts throughout Seattle’s most colorful creative community on September 12. The monthly Art Attack promotion is intended to raise regional awareness of the historic Georgetown industrial/arts district with the purpose of generating public sentiment toward preserving this valued civic asset. Aside from all that, it’s a heckuva lotta fun!

Among the highlights of the September 12 installment: An exhibition of underwater photography by Tom Radio and a musical performance by the Abiders at Calamity Jane’s; A punk rock Elvis tribute featuring The Kings at the MIX; An exhibition of mixed media art by Kim McCarthy together with new work inspired by 6os mod and Japanese street fashions by designer Lady Konnyaka at FRIDA/Georgetown Tile Works; “Comics Savants,” an exhibition of 13 Seattle-based alternative cartoonists featuring a one day storewide “Back to Skool” sale at Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery; A group exhibition of members of the Twilight Artists Collective at the Stables; An outdoor performance by Georgetown’s resident reggae ruffians Dubcar; and the general joviality associated with this lively and diverse cultural event.

The Georgetown Art Attack is a monthly production of the Georgetown Merchants’ Association. Please email Art Attack coordinator Larry Reid for more information & see map of participants: www.georgetownartattack.com.

GIGANTIC print created by Georgetown Artist Tina Randolph during the Flat Stanley Steamroller Print Initiative at the 2009 Annual Georgetown Garden Walk.

Participants included Lynda Sherman, Alex Kirillov and the soon to be dad, David Rauschenberg. The Rauschenberg's are famously nostalgic, we're so excited to meet and adorn baby Edith Ezmerelda in kiddie indie design and vintage duds! Mama Rauschenberg claims her most cherished onesie is the hand-emroidered sacred heart design by Nannette Acosta of Mudd Flap Grrrl Designs! Of course?
