This February, we celebrate art related to all the various forms of love. Love can be a fixture in someone's life, or it can be more mercurial or fleeting. Come and see how artists in the Pacific Northwest interpret this open call for art.
Patty White, Love in a Sea Dream, $950, Photography, Oil Paint. 1978
Seeking Warmth aims to explore humanity's need for emotional and physical warmth, especially during times of extreme circumstances such as those caused by genocide, war, oppression and neglect. Ceija Stojka (1933-2013) was a child survivor of the Romani Holocaust (Samudaripen) who began sharing her experiences in written and painted format in 1988 at age 55. She is recognized as a bold activist of Roma, who continue to face persecution today. Sam Marroquin works in collage and paint to expose current and historical trauma within society, emphasizing systems that mask the atrocities against humanity. Daniel Baker examines the role of artistic practice as a form of social agency with a focus on Roma aesthetics.
Join us for the opening reception on March 7 from 4-8pm and see a full list of related events on our Calendar.

Wearable Art is art that you can wear, walk and dance in! This show was inspired by the World of Wearable Art exhibit, and a continuing trend in libraries, art festivals, galleries and museums to feature clothing and textiles as art. Your wearable may be made with any material, new or repurposed. We hope to see works that stretch the imagination and celebrate the unique creativity within you. Hats, scarves, shoes will be considered accessories. Those specializing in these types of wearables may want to consider partnering with another person to have their entry included. The gallery will host an event, where the artists or artist-selected models will wear the Art during a runway show and reception.
This will be a juried exhibit. To participate, send up to 3 photos of 1 wearable art piece to gallery@artatthecave.com. Include your name, media and price for the work. We’d like to see that the art is wearable. It’s recommended that the photos feature a living model. Short video submissions are also welcome in addition to, or in lieu of 3 photos.
Please also pay a non-refundable entry fee of $15 at this link.
