Call for Artists
“Reclamation” Art Exhibit and Silent Auction
Radar Hair & Records, Saturday, May 5th 8pm-11pm
2724 1st Avenue South Seattle, WA 98134
Reclamation will feature artists re-imagining and giving new life to paintings and objects which have been discarded.
The theme of this exhibit highlights the process which occurs continually in many animal shelters and rescues. Animals are surrendered due to advanced age, health issues, or simply because they’ve become inconvenient. Older animals and those with treatable disabilities are often slated for euthanasia and don’t get a second chance at life in a home where they will be valued. People who take a chance on these discarded animals find that they don’t have to be “new” or in perfect condition to be treasures.
