Note: I no longer have my studio in the Tashiro Kaplan building, so I will not be exhibiting here, but if I were you I'd come check out the Tashiro Kaplan Artist Lofts Annual Auction and Open House.
Why?
Because once a year and only once a year the upstairs residences are open to the public. These are the lofts where some seriously talented Seattle artists live and work, people who have won high accolades for their work like Gretchen Bennett, Alicia Berger, Jaq Chartier, Steven Miller and Brian Murphy, just to name a few.
Mark your calendars and check it out.

The TK Artist Lofts, home to over 50 artists, their families and 26 art venues, has become the heart of the Pioneer Square art scene. A once a year event, the artists will open their lofts to the public. Residents will feature jewelry, painting, drawing, photography, glass, fabric art, performing arts and music.
There will be a Silent Art Auction 5-8pm. Performances will begin at 8pm.
The Tashiro Kaplan Building is now widely known for its very successful Art Walk every First Thursday of each month, which mostly presents visual arts in gallery and studio settings. The importance of developing the community room to more fully support the performing arts is less known. There is need for rehearsal and performance throughout the city and for the residents of the TK. This means not just space but space with proper flooring so performers do not incur injuries.
The Vandenbrink Community Room (VCR) has been upgraded for performance with better lighting options and sound improvements but the cement floor is still a concern. Though other fundraising efforts have raised a portion of money required, the residents are hoping to raise the last $3000 needed to install a sprung floor.
115 Prefontaine Place South, Pioneer Square, Seattle.
