Brooke Borcherding Opening Reception
2020-04-03 18:00 - 21:00
Over the past 10 years as an exhibiting artist Brooke has been able to develop a unique style that is not quite catagorizable. With a background in plein air (on site) landscape painting, she has gained an intuitive affinity for color and dynamic composition. Brilliantly colored blocks of color cascade across the canvas, creating a wonderfully pixelated image of urban or rural environments that shimmer with dynamic energy. Borcherding says these “deconstructions” aim to “shed light on the beauty of ordered chaos.” Brooke has most recently been awarded a prestigious prize for best oil/acrylic painting at the 2018 Carmel Plein Air Competition. She is nationally and internationally collected and shows at galleries in 5 different states- Washington, California, Oregon, Utah, and Maine.
Opening reception Friday April 3 from 6:00-9:00 pm, show runs through May 30th.

April 2020 Art Walk at Make.Shift Gallery: “Playful Creatures”
2020-04-03 18:00 - 22:00
April 2020 Art Walk at Make.Shift Gallery:
“Playful Creatures”
For the month of April Make.Shift invites you to step outside of the gallery and into an environment that welcomes curiosity and play. Spring has sprung and it’s time to invite your inner child to Playful Creatures, a partially interactive exhibit showing a combination of local, regional, and international artists. The exhibit is focussed on spreading a spirit of playfulness and imagination. Our featured artist this month, Sophia Munic, originally from Minneapolis, moved to Washington to pursue an education in Sculpture and French Studies at The University of Puget Sound. She is now based out of Tacoma and has become a fixture in Tacoma’s local art community. Her work is intended to create “a warm sense of nostalgia” using bright colored materials and toy-like forms. She is quoted saying “Creature like shapes reignite a sense of wonder when trying to figure out what exactly they are and how to place them in our memories. Reconnecting to these memories is an act of imagination. […] To rekindle that sense of imagination I create objects of play.” Due to her emphasis on play, her featured installation is fully interactive. It is intended to immerse you in nostalgic interactions. A drawing table will be set up for viewers to color in
coloring pages or draw their own responses to her work.
This exhibition will display work from several artists.
Keiko Scott, a BFA graduate from WWU’s art department, now based out of Tokyo, Japan, will be displaying multiple mediums of work including fiber and video. Their work touches on personal experiences from their own childhood as well as their queer identity.
Bellingham artist, Spiderleg, an Atlanta transplant, will be showing work from a series of unstretched canvas acrylic paintings. The subjects are creepy monsters and critters painted in the most delightfully vibrant color palettes.
Suzie Marco, based out of Bellingham, is a current WWU BFA student. She will be showing oversized plush art that references both play and nostalgia.
Lily Foss, a Bellingham based textile artist, is also a student in Western’s art department. Her work has been described as visual equivalents to the Mother Goose stories. This exhibition displays her current work in textile animation and plush paintings.
Join us on our journey down memory lane for a show bound to bring you back to a colorful past.
The opening will be on Art Walk Friday, April 3rd from 6-10pm​. ​For more information about the Art Walk or Make.Shift please visit our website at makeshiftproject.com or contact Gallery Director, Gabrielle Olson, at gallery@makeshiftproject.com.

Kulshan Chorus Presents: Carmina Burana
2020-05-02 19:00
Kulshan Chorus, Cantabile Chamber Choir, Kulshan Youth Choir, Sno-King Community Chorale, and orchestra join forces under the artistic direction of Dustin Willets to perform Carl Orff’s masterpiece cantata, Carmina Burana. Orff selected twenty-four poems from the medieval collection, Carmina Burana, covering a variety of familiar topics: the fickleness of fortune and wealth, the ephemeral nature of life, the joy of the return of Spring, and the pleasures and perils of drinking, gluttony, gambling, and lust. Together these poems and music describe activities along the great “wheel of life” or “wheel of fortune.” As the wheel spins, we may be uplifted in the world. But just as easily, the wheel of life may crush us. The moral is that no one of us is greater than any other, no matter their status. We should treat one another as equals, each struggling for purpose and meaning in the great wheel that is life. We belong to each other.
Tickets ranging from $22-35, with select discounts available.

What to expect?
Coffee chats are usually in-person meetings you set up with someone you want to add to your network. A virtual coffee chat is the same thing, except you’re doing it via video conferencing. In either case, coffee chats are an effective way to make networking more personal.
This space will help you to build trust and genuine connections and networks, get insights about different fields, roles and positions, and also will support your knowledge about the needs in the business world.
How to be prepared!
– Find a quiet place so the other end of the line will not struggle to hear you.
– Do a test run to make sure links are working, microphone is on and at the right volume, and that you’re not sitting too close to the screen.
– Pay attention to details such as lighting, background, noise, among others.
– Rehearse your elevator pitch.
– Be on time so attendees don’t get distracted.
– Make sure you have your professional information available to share, like your LinkedIn account, social media channels of your business and website link.
