Opening Reception: Art-strology

1/13/2026

0 Comments

 
Picture
ART-STROLOGY opened on Saturday, and it feels nice to have such a bright, colorful show on the walls after a(nother) rough week of news and current events.

Every piece is available as a 3-color Risograph print (aqua, flo pink, yellow) as well as a collected calendar with blank dates and blank days of the week, so you can use it for any year, and with whatever weekly format you prefer. Sunday-first? Monday-first? Want to be weird and start on Wednesday for some reason? You can do it!

​Availability is limited though, so don't wait if you think you want something! Here's a video reel of the show if you can't make it in person!

We want to tell people that there is a better way, something we can all work towards.

First, tell us something that happened to you or someone you know. Then, tell us how it could be different, better, more equitable, kinder.

Stories will be reviewed and selected by Riff Raff League, an open community organizing group hosted by Push/Pull. We'll publish the stories in a free zine that will be distributed to Little Free Libraries throughout the Northwest Seattle area, online, and hopefully will reach even farther.

We're looking for stories that are no more than one letter size page typed (approx 400-450 words). Send questions to [email protected].

SWORD DANCE

8/28/2025

 
Picture
SWORD DANCE is a series by Seattle artist and illustrator Mx. Morgan, themed with wolves and the swords suit from traditional tarot, displayed in Risograph print. Particular to Mx. Morgan's body of work, the viewer is invited to intuitively find oneself in the feral animal— and like in tarot, one may discover inner truths.

The sword suit in traditional tarot typically represents introspective challenges— logic, anxieties, decision-making, traumas, overthinking, and so on. Each card is presented with the wolf as a primary focus, an animal symbolizing untamed nature, power, fear, familial ties. 

Adorning each card are red, tangled flourishes which can be seen as feathers, vines, or perhaps blood, depending on how one chooses to interpret them. That is the beautiful aspect of tarot— there are hard set meanings rooted in one’s cultural significance, however it is up to the viewer to determine what that card means to them personally. Which card do you find yourself in?

Join us for the opening reception, Saturday, September 13, from 6-9 pm. Light refreshments will be provided, so RSVPs are appreciated!

Full house for F#CK THE FOURTH!

7/8/2025

 
We've been running our  F#CK THE FOURTH event  annually for many years already, but this year's was the busiest by far. Events worldwide, nationally, and locally have darkened considerably since the new year, but we were so heartened to see so much of our community come together on Friday.

And the energy was so good! People filtered in and out throughout the afternoon, writing postcards to elected officials, making zines, and sharing resources. A few new Washington transplants also registered to vote! In the end, we counted over 150 postcards and a half dozen zines on a variety of topics. Amazing! We also gathered a hefty basket of goods to drop off at Ballard Food Bank afterwards!

Thank you so much to everyone who showed up and spent time with us Friday. We hope to keep the activism and energy going with more organising events in the future... keep an eye out! >:)

Opening Reception: More Cats of Ballard

6/17/2025

 
Thanks to everyone who made time to come out to the opening reception of MORE CATS OF BALLARD on Saturday! It was a very busy day and a very busy evening with Cocktail Trail also happening in Ballard!

If you got a chance to talk to Kaylyn, you'll have heard all about the stories behind the cats represented in the show!

From cute kittens with huge eyes peeking out windows to free-roaming cats about town coming across free-ranging chickens, the neighbourhood is teeming with cats of all kinds and we're thrilled to be able to share some of them with you as part of this show!
Picture
A few pieces have already found forever homes, so swing by soon to take your pick of the rest, or just see these lovely cats before they're off to their new families!
