This newest member is a collective comprised of three art venues in the historic Microsoft building. Enjoy three fine shows that will run through August 8. ArtHaus66 will present the stunning paintings of Colorado artist Julie Maren. These large scale paintings offer a view of the secret life of animals in an otherwise inert world. A startled white deer, an astute fox or a helpless lamb, these animals pull at our soul’s strings with their strong symbolism and naked splendor. Arthaus is committed to bringing in cutting edge artwork from Europe and the US at affordable prices. If you haven’t discovered this new venue, Artscrawl is a good time to stop by. Art Bar Gallery will be featuring new collage art work by Wayne Berube and Scott Michael Gallery shows new sculpture and paintings by Scott Michael.

A View to Admire: Work by Three Prominent Female Artists will exhibit Artscrawl evening only. The show honors three women who have made it to the top - each a nationally recognized master (mistress?) of her medium: Michelle Tsosie Sisneros, painter. Niece of the renowned Pablita Velarde, painting is in her genes, but the poetic realism style is all her own. Valerie Namoki, Hopi clay sculptor whose figures have won awards and are included in the collections of the Heard Museum. Jennifer Curtis, prize-winning Navajo silversmith whose peers have called her “the best woman working”. Her precise stamp work is becoming a legend.. Meet, greet, and eat! Don’t miss this Artscrawl evening only event.
