~ Fremont Expose Yourself: A Storefront Art Project ~

Check out these first 2 art installations in an ongoing series aimed at repurposing vacant storefront space in Fremont for artistic expression in-between tenants.

Storefront: 716 N. 34th St. (formerly Capers)
Baumgartner has an MFA from the art Institute of Boston, and currently works/resides in Seattle, WA.  Drop-in reception at Portage Bay Goods (2 doors down from the installation) from 5:30-7pm.

Storefront: 710 N. 34th St.
Sculptor Evan Blackwell takes everyday materials and pushes them in the spotlight with reinvented purpose and form.   "At the very core of my research is a desire to create a harmony between the reality of my urban existence and my own personal ideology."  Blackwell holds an MFA from UW.



3400 Phinney Ave n
Artists: Slam Poet Landon Longhill, old time band Boyz 2 Dinosaurs (formerly known as Tonic), and folk harpist/songstress Shawnmarie Stanton.
Landon Longhill is a seasoned poet whose art has always been more of a bodily function than an endeavor, a rough channeling of emotional accidents into a new living thing, a force that points at life and then slaps him in the face.  Boyz 2 Dinosaurs creates a clever mix of bluegrass, folk, and old time tunes featuring Ben on banjo, Alex on accordion, and Simon on strings.  Shawnmarie and her trusty folk harp bring you pure, lyrical songs about life, love & the pursuit of happiness or something like it.  Chocolate samples and delicious sipping chocolate will be available at the event.  Poetry 7:30-8pm.
Phone: 206.632.5100
Regular hours: Daily 10am-6pm
