upcoming events

Moses Sun fuses hip-hop, jazz, afro-futurism, and the black southern diaspora of his childhood into a mix of visuals that blurs the lines between digital and analog art. His interdisciplinary practice comes from the hip-hop ethos of grinding in the studio, creating multiple tracks (series of works) that he remixes into afro-abstractions expressed on various surfaces, screens, assemblage, prints, plywood, and large scale murals.

Sheila Klein, recognized nationally for her public artworks, has a multi-disciplinary practice that straddles the worlds of architecture, sculpture, installation and traditional crafts--“I want to dress the world. Remake it, as I want to see it, one piece at a time. The world is my studio. I perform with materials.”

Third Stop | Artist Studio 

Todd Horton creates paintings and nature-based projects that deepen his understanding and sense of place in the PNW -- "A good painting seems just on the verge of telling us something important. The potential promise of secrets revealed."
