Upcoming Art Events in Yakima

Though I don't seem to get much time in the studio this winter, there are a few interesting craft-based art events coming up in March.

Tieton Mosaics
This weekend Tieton Arts and Humanities is hosting a couple of events featuring mosaic work. Tieton  Arts and Humanities, the folks who bring us a variety of events at Mighty Tieton's Warehouse and lofts has apparently received an NEA grant to make some mosaic signs for the city. Saturday morning, March 1 from 10-noon mosaic artist Kate Jessup will be giving a free public lecture about the Tieton Mosaic Project.

In the afternoon on Saturday there will be a free mosaic workshop. The website lists two names for the artists, so I'll let you explore the original source yourself.

Wine Country Craft

Larson Gallery's functional art show, The Wine Country Home opens on March 7 with a reception from 5-7pm. This is a national juried show and I am optimistic that the media will be broad and varied. The card makes it look like that's the case.

Art Play

On March 9 Larson Gallery hosts "Art,"a Tony award winning play by Yasmina Reza. The play will be performed by Larson Gallery director, David Lynx and YVCC faculty Tim Jeske and David Huyke.  For tickets and more information, visit Larson Gallery.
