First Thursday Art Walk at OK Hotel Gallery

by Courtney Crockett

With the waterfront redevelopment and the tunnel project, all of the rude construction makes it easy to neglect our neighborhood offerings on Alaskan Way South. That is one reason to go to the OK Hotel Gallery on 4 June First Thursday Art Walk. Another is to support the OK Hotel and its historic relevance to Pioneer Square during the days of yore as a bar and venue for Seattle’s epic music scene. Another reason still is to check out the one-night only exhibition called, Strange Coupling.

Originating in 2002, Strange Coupling is a University of Washington student run organization whose purpose is to generate meaningful connections between professional artists and art students. Students are selected by jury and partnered with a Seattle artist and the pair collaborate over a 2 month period to culminate in a one-night group exhibition. This year marks their twelfth annual event.

Artists participating in Thursday’s opening are Neddy award winning and have previously shown works at Frye Art Museum, Henry Art Gallery and the neighborhood’s own, Greg Kucera Gallery. This year’s artist lineup includes-

Amber Barney + Rodrigo Valenzuela
Christie DeNizio + Gretchen Bennett
Coley Mixan + Gary Hill
Danielle VonLehe + Nat Evans
Ellen Xu + Neal Fryett
Hami Bahadori + Alejandra Salinas & Aeron Bergman
Pattique Shi + Paul Berger
Paul Baughman + Sol Hashemi
Paulo Castillo + Anne Fenton
Søren Nilsson + Matt Offenbacher

The OK Hotel Gallery is located at 212 Alaskan Way South; now a residential property with artist studios open to the public every First Thursday Art Walk from 6-9pm.
