November Art Market, 12-6, Saturday the 20th!

November 20th, 12-6 pm, at 3320 Beacon Ave South. Pop-up art market at Day Moon Press of local vendors, bringing prints, paintings, jewelry, body products, book arts, hot drinks, and more!

Hello all! What year is it. How long has it been. Anyway, we used to do a yearly holiday sale in our shop, and we’re ready to bring that back but a little different this time:

With the South End Public Market arm of Beacon Arts we’re putting on a pop-up market of local artists, selling prints, sculpture, jewelry, body products, paintings, book arts, and more! SEPM is putting on monthly art markets around Beacon Hill, so keep up with them for future events, and applications for vending opportunities. On November 20th, come to our shop to support South End artists, and grab a hot drink and snack in the backyard to fundraise for Beacon Arts!

Masks required inside the shop, please, vaccinated or unvaccinated.

Letterpress cards, prints, and book arts from Day Moon Press, Nottapixie Press, Waterland Press, and True Bug Press

“We Be Proud” @PCAF, Tacoma

Framed large pride flag

Finally got the big one framed! Until July 31st, it and the five mini-flags are at a Pride-themed show “We Be Proud” in Tacoma at PCAF, along with prints by Cat Snapp Studio and Pope Press Olympia.

Pierce County AIDS Foundation, through education and service, prevents HIV infection, assists persons affected by HIV/AIDS, addresses related health problems, and combats associated stigma and discrimination. PCAF’s gallery is open M/T/Th/F 9-5 and Wed 11-5.

Mini pride flags

(Unfortunately this is my last copy of the big one so it’s not for sale, but the minis are! I also scan the minis as I complete them and put them here on the Pride Flag Prints project page. Feel free to save them to your phone or computer for icons, banners, etc.—the bi flag has been my phone background for months now. Personal use only, please!)
