It's time for the follow up to Kaylyn Chileen's 2024 Cats of Ballard with MORE CATS OF BALLARD!

What new neighbourhood cats will you see in the show this year? Will there be any returning faces? Will your fav neighbour that was missed last year be represented year? Will your outer-neighbourhood cat be scorned once again? ALL THIS AND MORE you can find out opening night!

Join us Saturday, June 14, for the opening reception from 6-9pm!

Turn over a leaf. Dig inside the couch cushions. Pick something off the bottom of your shoe. There are poems everywhere, for those willing to look.

Push/Pull's annual poetry collection, Stanza, invites wordsmiths to be the imagemakers and artists to be the poets. Using both word and image, artists are invited to submit work that crosses genres—however you choose to interpret it. Found poems, collage, poetry comics, and any other combination of language and visuals are welcome!

​Stanza: Lost & Found will be printed in up to 2 colors on Risograph. Contributors will receive a contributor copy and a $50 gift card for Push/Pull's printing services, art supplies, or classes.

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! 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!

Another year is coming to an end, and despite many hardships, there's always still good moments and things to reflect on. BE MERRY captures the good in ornament form. Come see dozens of miniature, giftable art pieces, along with select member work from this year!

Join us December 14th from 6-9 PM for the opening reception of our December show, Be Merry!

We'll have a variety of handmade ornaments and hangable art made by Push/Pull members, along with framed original works, all of which make fantastic gifts! You'll be able to take them right off the wall and home with you immediately, no coming back later! Opening night will be your best chance to have the pick of available art, so see you then!

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.

Join us for the opening reception on Saturday, November 9th, from 6-9 PM! The show will be up through December 13.

The books are here!

Fulfillment for the Kickstarter has begun! If you missed out or want to pick up extra books for your awesome friends, we hope you'll join us for our official book release party, Saturday, October 19, from 6-9 PM!

Not only can you get the great Witch, Please! and related merch, but you'll also have the chance to grab  original art from the book. We'll have originals and reproductions of every piece on display. How many pieces is that? FIFTY-FOUR (54)!!!!

Seth Goodkind watched every single movie in the "Witches & Warlocks" section at Scarecrow Video, reviewed them all, and invited artists to contribute art related to select movies to compile into a book and art show!

Support the Kickstarter to get a copy of WITCH, PLEASE the book! You can also grab a copy of one of Seth's previous works, or maybe spring for a piece of original art included in the book?

Kiri Yu, or KIRISKA, is 100% Chinese, but has 0% training in traditional Chinese ink painting.

Despite this, they’ve always been drawn to the style of the medium and ended up approaching it in unconventional ways with non-traditional tools and branching subject matter.

Brush pen lines accompany sumi ink and Chinese watercolor on rice paper scrolls, shikishi boards, and other papers. Traditional subjects like tigers, mountains, flowers, and fruit are twisted and blended together in strange ways, demonstrating a deeply rooted but disconnected heritage.

Join us Thursday, September 12th, starting at 6pm, for the opening reception of DOING IT WRONG!
