Bill Rock's BatPig: Character Development Phase  at Civilian Art Projects (4718 14th Street NW, Washington DC). The show runs for one  week only, August 2 To 5, 2017. There will be an opening reception from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., Wednesday August 2 and an artist talk at 3 p.m. Saturday, August 5. The artist will be on hand most days.  

This exhibit is Rock's second with the gallery. He assembles a group of characters revolving around the hero in training, BatPig. The story of BatPig is one of becoming a "hero" (depending on your definition of the term) in a time of political and social discontent. Pieces shown are mixed media collage on canvas--acrylic, marker, watercolor, pencil, pasten, pre-printed paper and printing ink.

Rock has a BA in Radio, Television and Film from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and an MFA in Visual Arts from Vermont College. He has taught courses at Georgetown and the Smithsonian (and others).

Contact your representatives an the FCC to preserve Net Neutrality. Sites like this one depend on an open internet to reach you....

What is Net Neutrality? A good primer from the ACLU is HERE.

One of the best parts of the extensive ACLU piece is this; "Imagine if the phone company could mess with your calls — through bad connections or frequent dropped calls — when you tried to order pizza from Domino's, because Pizza Hut is paying them."

That is it in a nutshell...You think you get spied on and hit with ads now?....If this keeps moving along? You haven't seen a thing yet..

Look up your Senators and Representatives and contact them. Call the FCC at 1-888-CALL FCC (225-5322).

Seattle Art Fair 2017 Runs August 4 To 6 At CenturyLink Field Event Center

Seattle Art Fair 2017 runs August 4 to 6 at CenturyLink Field Event Center (1000 Occidental Ave. S).

This year's festival features 88 exhibitors from 26 cities and nine countries. A large percentage of these galleries are from the Pacific Rim (not the monster movie...the area). This, to me, makes this fair distinct from what you see at many East Coast/Central USA fairs. There is a different flavor here when you look at the list of exhibitors (which you can do HERE).

There is also a slew of programming curated by artistic director, Laura Fried. You can see the programming HERE.
