Join us for an evening to discuss art, culture, and history!
Meet the artists who will bring the Garfield Super Block to life! 16 selected artists with ties to the Central District are creating original artwork to be installed in Garfield Park commemorating seven historical cultures that lived and thrived in this neighborhood.
Jamie Colacecchi, a whimsical fiber and mixed media artist deeply who is rooted in the cherished traditions of her family. Beyond artistic pursuits, she is an educator and demonstrator; igniting curiosity at fairs, festivals, farms and schools with her trusty spinning wheel or a bag of clay by her side. Colacecchi believes in engaging the senses: the textures of paint and glaze, the warmth of yarn, the smells of a shared meal. She creates pieces that are meant to be worn, sipped from and touched, making her work a song of love, creativity and the sheer delight of bringing people together in shared moments of joy and connection.
Teruko Nimura (b. 1978, based in University Place, Washington) creates drawings, sculptures, site specific installations, pottery, public artworks and multi-layered community engagement projects that invite discovery and introspection through experiential connection. Her Japanese and Filipino cultural heritage is a foundational lens for her explorations of collective memory and trauma, identity, motherhood, and the climate crisis.
Generously hosted by Metier Brewing Company, this free event offers the opportunity to learn about the artists and their work through this series of summer events. Artists will discuss their designs and the process of creating original public art, as well as the history of the Central District and their cultural heritage.
Events take place on Tuesdays, from 6 pm to 7:30 pm August 20 – September 17.
