It's True, New Chemical Wedding Handbags!
You Really Must Stop by Frida & See for Yourself
"The Chemical Wedding line is based upon the alchemical theory of the transmutation of form, such as lead to gold. Seattle area artists, Jon & Tracy Haaland, embrace this idea by using castoffs from large manufacturers mixed with other leathers, wood, copper, and original screen prints to create their one of a kind bags."

MARCH 13th: Georgetown Art Attack!

New Featured Artist:
"Into the Briny Deep"
March 8th - April 9th, 2010

Artist Reception:
March 13th, 6-9pm
Georgetown Art Attack Saturday March 13, 6–9 PM
The colorful Georgetown Second Saturday Art Attack enters its third year resolved to draw attention to the historic industrial arts district in an effort to generate public sentiment towards preservation of this enchanting civic asset. As many of Seattle’s formerly artist-friendly neighborhoods fell victim to frenzied gentrification over the past decade, Georgetown remains the last bastion of a cohesive creative community in the city. We believe activities like the monthly Art Attack will advance our preservation efforts.

Among the highlights of the March 13 Art Attack: The grand opening of the Miller School of Art with a show of student work, painting demonstrations and more; "Circus Series" atBella Vitale Studio featuring original paintings, prints, textile designs and punk pock dog clothing by Angielena Chamberlain; "Into the Briny Deep", new paintings by Mary Louise Silva at Frida / Georgetown Tile Works; “High Soft Lisp” art exhibition and book signing by influential Los Angeles cartoonist Gilbert Hernandez at Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery; “Wackalope: The Paintings of Dan’l Linehan” at Helmet Head, where the lovely staff will be applying make-up and styling hair for Art Attack patrons; theHelle salon opens their spacious new facility and the Mix re-opens its recently remodeled nightclub; Mark Tedin, Kyle Abernethy and Julie Baroh at KrabJab Studios; Georgetown Atelier open studio tours with founder Mark Tedin; and the usual mayhem and merriment we’ve come to associate with this diverse and festive cultural event.
