Short Run Art Party and Comix Exhibition This Saturday
In this age of ubiquitous digital media and gadget fatigue, it's refreshing to find a community of artists working with their hands to produce tactile works of art on paper. Such is the case with the young cartoonists in the Short Run exhibition at Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery in Seattle. This art party on Saturday, November 12 from 6:00 to 9:00 PM follows the Short Run Small Press Fest at the Vera Project at the Seattle Center earlier that day.
The Short Run art show, curated by Kelly Froh, features original comix art, illustration and book works by Max Clotfelter, Patrick Keck, Martine Workman, Elaine Lin, Jason T. Miles, Chris Cilla, Andrice Arp, Tim Root, Billis Helg, Marc Palm, Eroyn Franklin, Tom Van Deusen, Tim Miller, Tory Franklin, Jesse Reklaw, Sean Christensen, and Erin Tanner. A selection of publications by these, and other local artists, will also be available. Lit crit Paul Constant of The Stranger suggests, "Find your new favorite comic book and marvel at the joy that only beautiful, handmade books can bring."
Enjoy a complimentary beverage at this festive party on Saturday evening from 6:00 to 9:00 PM. Musical entertainment will be provided by Brainfruit. Fantagraphics Bookstore is located at 1201 S. Vale Street in Georgetown, minutes south of downtown Seattle.
