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!

Cryptids are animals and creatures that might exist, but for which evidence of thus is disputed or unsubstantiated. From local legends like the Sasquatch to long known (or are they really known!?) misidentifications and hoaxes like the chupacabra and the jackalope, cryptids have inspired tall tales, fanciful folklore, and the hands of artists for years.

Join us on Saturday, February 8th for the opening reception from 6-9 PM!

Hex the Patriarchy & 11th Anniversary Party

1/3/2025

 
Picture
Hex the patriarchy! The Push/Pull crew and friends are using this month's show to express rage, frustration, and a need for change in the current political environment.

Using the psychedelic medium of Risograph, artists explore the current state of feminism and gender politics in the face of changes America is currently going through. Come gather and hex the patriarchy with us. 😈
​
It's ALSO our 11th anniversary party! The last year has been all over the place and we kind of never got to do a 10th anniversary party, so join us for the 11th! Refreshments are provided!

Ballard's favourite server gets his own art show! Come see OVER THIRTY portraits of Hattie's Hat's celebrity author Mohammad Badeges, as painted by Maxx Follis-Goodkind.
​
Maxx and Mohammad have been friends for many years. Maxx has been inspired by the creative self portrait photography that Mo posts near daily. For a year Maxx has been creating paintings, drawings and embroidered work referencing Mo's photos - with his blessing, of course. Mo-vember is a radical act of seeing and being seen.
