Daniel Minter’s Carvings embodies the rich and complex history of Black heritage in the American south. Stepping outside of traditional 3-D sculptures, each piece appears to be a painting until you notice the exquisite carvings that are amplified by the artist’s beautiful brush strokes. The painted woodcarvings and linoleum block prints feature imagery from children’s books illustrated by Minter.

Fun. No Fun. Kraft Duntz featuring Dawn Cerny, March 4th - September 10th @ Henry Art Gallery Kraft Duntz teams up with artist Dawn Cerny to create this enormous exhibit that walks the line between sculpture and architecture. The title, Fun. No Fun, refers to not only the ups and downs that are linked to any creative project but also dealing with the difficulties of exhibit creation. Viewers may also draw connections to their own life with the series of staircases, walkways and raised platforms that offer plenty of potential but no concrete plan.

It has almost been two years since the passing of David Bowie. This exhibit features 65 photographs that celebrate the life and transformation of Ziggy Stardust. Diehard fans will get a glimpse of Bowie’s life on stage, in dressing rooms as well as intimate moments between shows through the eyes of Mick Rock, Bowie’s official photographer between 1972 and 1973.

33’ 18” @ Traver Gallery photo credit: Jeff Curtis

33’ 18” is a continuation of artist John Kiley’s love to destroy and deconstruct. These ten marvelous pieces were created by pouring molten glass onto thick blocks of optical glass that moments later exploded and were meticulously placed back together. This is Kiley’s second series of experimental glass works and represents reconciling with loss and ruin.

T. rex LIVE!, August 12th - February 18th @ Burke Museum photo credit: Rachel Ormiston

Have you ever wanted to dig up dinosaur bones? T. rex LIVE, part of Burke’s Testing, Testing 1-2-3 exhibit is the next best thing! Last summer, Burke Paleontologists discovered a Tyrannosaurus rex, including a massive 3,000lb skull. Viewers can watch paleontologists reveal more of this historic creature and marvel at the dinosaur’s already uncovered jaw bone and ribs.

Seattle’s Official Bad Art Museum of Bad Art, Indefinitely @ Café Racer photo credit: Official Bad Art Museum of Bad Art

In a lovely little bar/restaurant called Café Racer is Seattle’s Official Bad Art Museum of Bad Art or more simply put, the OBAMA. Here, you will find terrifying clowns, last supper Elvis, Mona Lisa Mickey Mouse and my favorite, a Jesus portrait made from Peeps. It is truly a gorgeous yet awful collection. Come for the bad art, stay for a drink and quality service from the friendly staff.
