We’re VERY excited about this new art exhibition at the Center for Contemporary Art, (aka, “CoCA”) second floor of the Seattle Design Center, 5701 6th Ave S, Suite 258 in Georgetown, which opens Thursday, May 15 with an opening reception from 5pm to 9pm. “PostGlamism: Glam Art in the 21st Century” will examine the “concept of Post Glamism” pop culture through a variety of mediums.
It sounds FAB!
We’re also nuts about that “grillwork” in their promo image!
And, they encourage you to dress up for the opening night party…dust off your finest Ziggy Stardust look and head down to Georgetown!
Apologies for the lazy cut n paste from their Press Release; we’re swamped trying to prepare for the launch of this year’s special Pride page!
