Yay! Roq La Rue Returns This Week!

October 10, 2018• byMichael Strangeways

Art: Camille Rose Garcia “Electric Witch”

We were thrilled to hear that Kirsten Anderson, famed Seattle art gallery owner and a pioneer in the promotion of Pop Surrealism art, was returning to that world by bringing back her beloved former gallery, ROQ LA RUE. Kirsten closed down the “Roq” a couple years back to devote time to animal conservation but ended up returning to the art world last year with CREATURA GALLERY which combined her love of art AND animal conservation.

She created Creatura at 705 East Pike Street but now Creatura is evolving back to Roq La Rue starting Thursday October 11th with the opening of LUSH LIFE 6, the first show of the reborn gallery.

We j’adore Kirsten’s eye for art (and passion for wildlife) and we’re very happy the “Roq’ is back. You should check out the opening if you can, part of Capitol Hill’s monthly art walk, or anytime after!
