Come join the ActivSpace artists hosting open studios this Fremont First Friday, walk the halls and visit old favorites and discover new.  ActivSpaces is teeming with talent…artisans of fine jewelry, still life, funky art work & funky art wear, silkscreen printers, Ikebana, vintage bikes, graphic design, contemporary objects, wood turners, head turners, widgets & custom creations have been calling ActivSpaces home since 1995.  Come walk the building and visit the many open studios at ActivSpaces.  Situated right on the Burke-Gilman trail at 700 NW 42nd Street, start your art walk here or finish up as we are just a convenient block away from Hales Brewery on Leary Way NW.

Featured Artist of the Month: Brandon Vosika, Mixed Media
On view will be Brandon’s unique light boxes, paintings, craftings & collage, all accompanied by the haunting melodies of his musical work – a land & soundscape into the past; memoryscapes perhaps of an old and fading world juxtaposed with a modern overlay.  Ancient explores lost on tundra’s of ragboard and reclaimed wood; innocent rabbit children pose for an unseen cameraman under coffee stained skies; quizzical dogs await the sound of their master’s voice…all are present in Vosika’s miniatures. 





1300 N Northlake Way
 Tyson Anthony Roberts is a painter based in Seattle, WA.  He studied studio art at UC Davis and after college moved to Mexico City to continue developing his style away from home. Upon his return to Northern California, he voraciously worked to distinguish his brush-work and thus his style has culminated into what you see today. This past year Tyson exhibited his work twice in NYC and at numerous locations throughout Seattle.
Live music by Bar Tabac, and Skillet Street food truck will be serving deliciousness out of their iconic Airstream trailer in the parking lot.  Wine for $5/glass (or 5/$20).  This is a great place to start your evening and then work your way around to the other galleries!
