The Bellevue Arts Museum is hosting an enormous group exhibition Making our Mark: Art by Pratt Teaching Artists<\/em><\/a>, which went live at a grand party for the artists (and there’s a tonne of us) at the start of November. There are too many local legends to name; jewellers, wood-workers, painters, sculptors and of course the Northwest’s favourite, glass artists, so I’ll just mention me, and the very famous glass artist who happens to live across the street from me (!) Preston Singletary<\/a>. We’re finally in a show together! One day I’ll work up the courage to tell him \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Also just opened is a show at form & concept center in Santa Fe, New Mexico, called Smitten Forum<\/em><\/a>. So what is Smitten Forum<\/em><\/a>, then?<\/p>\n

Call it a mobile artist colony, a colorful social experiment or a crafty piece of performance art. Each year since 2014, Sara Brown and Marissa Saneholtz have invited a new group of pioneering jewelers and metalsmiths to work side-by-side in a communal studio for 7 days. The initiative is called Smitten Forum<\/a>, and invitees range from emerging to well-established makers who employ a staggering array of mediums and techniques. This year\u2019s participants are headed to Abiquiu, New Mexico in late December, but they\u2019ll also leave their mark on the nearby art center of Santa Fe. The form & concept shop is pleased to present the Smitten Forum<\/i> exhibition, which features wearable artwork from all of this year\u2019s artists.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And now it is also an exhibition, with this year’s Smitten<\/em> cohort exhibiting: Sarah Perkins, Melissa Cameron, Bryan Petersen, Cappy Counard, Cheryl Rydmark, Tanya Crane, Rebekah Frank, Anika Smulovitz, Don Friedlich, Laritza Garcia, Leslie LePere, Hannah Oatman, Marissa Saneholtz and Sara Brown<\/p>\n

It opened on the 24th of November and finishes on the 6th of January. And Smitten Forum itself? Yes, this year I’ll close out my year hanging with that awesome crew, at Ghost Ranch in New Mexico. Yes, the Ghost Ranch that Georgia O’Keffee lived and worked at.<\/p>\n
