05 Nov November First Thursday Art Walk

Fall is such a festive occasion in Pioneer Square; the dark of evening sets in early, the crisp air nips and grounded, rusting leaves are brittle beneath your feet. The holiday lights are up along First Ave S and in Occidental Park, and there are more interesting openings and events than one can count. On this 5 November First Thursday Art Walk, included below are only a few that caught my attention.

The Piranha Shop –  1022 First Ave S

Technically this old artist warehouse may not be located in Pioneer Square but situated parallel to Century Link Field, it’s close enough. What is now The Piranha Shop is a fantastic mixed use space offering up entirely eclectic events from the global exhibition of Boxes of Death to a Seattle Seahawks tailgate event to the Sundries record release party.

This November’s Art Walk offers the inaugural issue of Crushed Magazine, the next development of Project Girl Crush. Created by local women, Jen Utley and Genevieve Pierson, their interviews focus on the importance of revealing a woman’s whole story.

Roq la Rue – 532 1st Ave S

Roq La Rue is an internationally known contemporary gallery that played an integral role in the Pop Surrealism art movement and more recently expanding to a broader vision of contemporary art. Nearly every event and opening is a happening and promises art goers nearly as interesting and adventurous as the art on the walls, nearly. During the preceding First Thursday, a guest was accompanied by their pet turkey.

November’s main gallery features Zachari Logan, Grotesques and Alessandra Maria, Di Minores, a body of work that comments on the subject of feminine identity. The loft gallery spotlights Joe Rudko, Broken Images.
