Homecoming Black Art Fair @ Walk the Block

 

As the season shifts and people return to school and work, homecoming marks a fresh start - not just for routines, but for inspiration in the home and intimate gathering spaces. For this reason, we've curated something special and just for you as a collector and supporter of Walk the Blockand Wa Na Wari's mission - Homecoming: The Black art Fair at Walk the Block Festival.  This art fair offers a welcome entry point into to the world of art collecting. 
Whether you're art-curious or ready to bring your first piece home, Homecoming invites you to discover works that can become part of your everyday life and help you tell your story in ways that only art can. 
We are inviting both new and seasoned collectors to come and enjoy the brilliance of Black art. With 60% of each artwork sale going directly to the artist, this is also a meaningful investment in the financial growth and sustainability of our local creative community.

For tickets and information, contact the PNB Box Office, 206.441.2424 or PNB.org. Photo (c) Angela Sterling. Sometimes the whole of something can be very different than the sum of its parts and sometimes a ballet can read very differently than the intentions of the artists and choreographers of the works presented.

Photo © Angela Sterling.   From April 11th to the 20th, PNB presents, choreographer Jean-Christophe Maillot’s Roméo et Juliette with music by modernist Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev.   Reality, “realism,” or any kind of “naturalism” are not exactly what one thinks of when the topic of the first and most well-known teen-age romance ever created comes up.  And yet, Pacific Northwest Ballet’s version of “Pretty In Pink" meets “Don’t Fear The Reaper” is ultimately an odd mix of realistic, even "dark" moments of performance and naturalistic movements layered atop unreality, magic, and comedy.  And of course, since we a...
