We are delighted to present the annual Whatcom READS Art Challenge, in collaboration with the Bellingham & Whatcom Libraries’ Whatcom READS program. Local artists embarked on a journey inspired by this year’s chosen book, Solito: A Memoir by Javier Zamora. Applications to participate in the exhibition are available at alliedarts.org.

We have a set of featured artists that invite you to extend the idea of the written word: Artists Akiko Victorson, Katherine Potzler and Prentiss Cole display their works in the Allied Arts gallery. The show: Message and Medium, centers artists who explore the impact of language. Delve into these spectacular works incorporating calligraphy, psychology, eastern philosophy, journal making, and much more. Immerse yourself in local Whatcom County artists’ work, all sharing their messages at Allied Arts!

Gallery Hours: Tuesday – Saturday 11am – 4pm

Opening Reception: March 6, 6pm-9pm
