Spring Has Sprung!

admin — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 23:05:37 +0000

Everywhere you turn in Redmond, spring has sprung! Plum and cherry trees sparkle white and pink. Daffodils dot flowerbeds and primroses brighten borders throughout town. These colorful little touches remind us that Redmond has a remarkable hometown feel. Nothing exemplifies this more than our springtime traditional free egg hunt… Eggstravaganza!

Live and Loud at the BoneBat Film Fest!

Redmond Arts — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 15:47:58 +0000

You know that guy in your office who is really into music, but never utters a band name that sounds even remotely familiar? No, not the obnoxious, hipster guy with the stupid glasses. The OTHER guy.

Artificial Light Kick-off, March 8th, 5 to 7pm at The Flying Apron Redmond

Redmond Arts — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 05:39:59 +0000

Many, many, many “tree-socks” later, and the kick-off for the Artificial Light installation by Suzanne Tidwell is upon us. It is hard not to notice Tidwell on her ladder sewing up the seams of her “tree-socks” or talking to passers-by that cannot help but stop, chat, and look, at the beams of light peeking through even to Redmond Way.

Artificial Light: “Brilliant Light”

Redmond Arts — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 04:54:58 +0000

Something wonderful is happening to the trees in Anderson Park! I drove by the park last week to see the progress, and did a double take because of the sudden “brilliant light” coming from the finished tree-socks.

Suzanne has… Read the rest →

Contemplating Suzanne Tidwell’s Artificial Light installation at Anderson Park

Redmond Arts — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:33:12 +0000

My first interaction with Suzanne Tidwell was at the Sammamish Arts Fair in 2010—her work stood out. I remember her wall hangings made up of repurposed materials—Ikea napkins carefully sewn with remnants of paper hole-punch cut outs. She had a bench made of knitted yarn, then felted, into sinewy, tree-like branches and leaves that created space. It was the large… Read the rest →
