Are you a friend of Dorothy? | Art Attack | Georgetown Carnival
Are you a friend of Dorothy?
Artist receptions:
Saturday June 14th 4-8 pm
Saturday July 12th 4-8pm
“Are you a friend of Dorothy?” is a group exhibition that reflects on the idea of sanctuary through a queer lens - drawing inspiration from nostalgic summer getaways, camp aesthetics, and the spaces that have historically offered refuge, joy, and community.
Referencing a mid-century phrase used as quiet code among queer people, the show celebrates the legacy of chosen family and safe havens while imagining what sanctuary can look like today. Through diverse artistic perspectives, it invites reflection on identity, resilience, and the many ways we continue to seek
Artist include:
Daniel Evans, Roman Cain, Mikki Ulaszewski, Pidge Pasqualle, Patrick Webb, Nell Kerr, Eric Chan, Louis Chavez, Tom Mclntire, Rya WU
Curated by:
Courtney Burrow
+++ over 10 Member Artists Open Studios
Located in Georgetown 5511 Airport Way South just above Georgetown Pinball and Arcade and next door to Fogue Studios— Entrance on the north side of the building

PAY IT FORWARD | Art Attack
Pay It Forward
A show of the circle of generosity and growth
Artist receptions:
Saturday May 10th 4-8 pm
‘Paying it forward’ is the art of keeping generosity flowing. It honors the help you've received in life and the people who have supported you—not by recognizing or thanking them directly—by passing that kindness on in an ever-widening circle.
For Anita Lehmann, that ever-widening circle has been her students. This show brings together the work of artist, award-winning illustrator, and 35 year arts educator Anita Lehmann and a selection of her students.
Anita says:
" My teachers, my wise spirits, have guided me, and now I have the privilege of paying it forward through my own teaching. This show is a beautiful representation of that cycle—my lessons and passion reflected in these talented students. I look forward to seeing them carry it forward, continuing the ripple of generosity and inspiration.

Open Mic & Art Night
Side Rail is joining forces with Acorn Collective to offer a unique open arts night to the public once a month!
The event will be hosted at Side Rail Collective (in Georgetown) every 2nd Thursday of the month!
This Month:
Come join us for a night of creativity and community with an open mic and art activity with guest musician, Karen Miler and guest artist, Jesse Proebstel.
Our art activity for the evening will be small scrap wood assemblages in the style of Louise Nevelson and Jesse Proebstel.
Jesse Proebstel - Artist
Jesse is a Seattle based artist and woodworker. His work has evolved from beautiful hand carved utensils- whose playfully elegant forms are equal parts sculptural and utilitarian - to simple evocative woodassemblages. We are so thrilled to have Jesse share his talents with our community.
Karen Miller is a songwriter from Tacoma who is known for her clever lyrics and wry humor. She draws inspiration from taylor swift to Jimmy Buffett and everything in between. Her music is available for streaming on all major platforms. Please stream her so Spotify will give her one third of a cent.

Collage Workshop
Adult collage making workshop designed for all levels from novice to expert! Come join Seattle Artist, Musician and Educator, Sean Williams for two hours of collage fun.
Use a collection of vintage books, magazines and other materials to create some one of a kind works of art. A 15 minute intro covering basic collage practices and techniques followed by an hour and a half of making along side other artists. The class will wrap up with a group reflection where each person (if they want to) can show their work and share their process, ask questions and give respectful feedback. We believe having time for reflection and conversation is important to creating community and learning from each other.
Participants are welcome to bring snacks and beverages of their choice.
Some collage materials may not be appropriate for young people so we would prefer to have all participants over 18.
