Hey, there Seattle!,
We’ve had some smog and cooler weather this week, but I am still optimistic we’ll get some more heat before summer is over. I am going to a family camp with my church this weekend, and there will be some swimming opportunities, so I’m hoping that heat comes sooner rather than later!
If you’re looking for unique ways to enjoy the end of summer, try a ranger-led hike, or visit Bob’s SUNFLOWER garden in Everett. I love YELLOW and I love FLOWERS! I’ve never heard of them doing this before, but this is at the top of my list!
Let us know what you are up to and share your favorite businesses, restaurants, or free activities & ideas.
Looking forward to hearing from you…
Emily

3) Niche Audience Exhibit Open Studio
MadArt Studio presents Niche Audience, a sculptural installation by Seattle-based artists and partners Leo Berk and Claire Cowie. Their first-time, large-scale collaboration is inspired by architectural niches and how they have been used for seclusion and shelter across cultures. This exhibition features freestanding sculptural alcoves fabricated from recycled and refuses construction materials sourced from South Lake Union. Select structures host figural works, while others invite guests to enter and become immersed in the artwork. Through Niche audiences, Cowie and Berk provide a place for visitors to engage in collective art-viewing while maintaining space for individual comfort as we emerge from pandemic limitations.
