12/12-13, Amazon is hosting some winter activities.
In front of the HQ is the lights and photo booth, plus a drawing table advertising for Gage Academy of Arts.
Next block is a pop-up market for small local vendors.
The right photo was taken on Monday of the week before all the booths and stalls were set up.
These lights stayed on after Friday.
2nd Friday of a month is Belltown Art Walk.
Today, I joined a few others at PublicDisplay.Art offset at 110 Union 4th floor for a guided walk.
Today is led by a local artist Christopher Coleman.
Raining, so not many people. Christopher said yesterday at the Capital Hill Art Walk, they had a large group.
Not really "guided", as he didn't talk to us about the spaces we visited.
Basically, we tagged along as he did his art walk, checking out galleries and talking to whoever he met.
There's also a photographer in tow, who is probably documenting this "event".
Base Camp 2 (former Bergman Luggage Building) is leasing out its 2nd floor to various young artists, very similar to the Coleseum building. Open studio today. Quite a lot of people, despite of the rain. One "artist" is a very young guy, maybe high-school age. We didn't have time to visit the gallery downstairs.
We visited Gallery Ergo in the belly of Pike Place Market.
It was a bit strange, as the whole market was closed and security guards were eyeing on us.
This wall is a new exhibition of a mid-west artist.
Then, a very strange small gallery called Rebl One on 55 Bell. It has a stage. A girl was singing while plucking a guitar.
Last, Slip Gallery, which I usually visit. Among other displays, today is its opening reception of Robin Layton's rain and horses.
A real photographer. I flipped through one of her coffee table book, which contains more photos.
Some photos are accompanied by a poem.
