No Receptions Scheduled

This show is a collection of animals participating in the drama of drinking. Using Tom Standage's book "the History of the World in Six Glasses" as inspiration, Caplis has created various scenarios in which the animals alter and advance through the benefits of these beverage cultures. Caplis plays with different dynamics of animals in their cultural hierarchy, suggesting those who imbibe the beverages are the most sophisticated. Just as the book argues that these beverages are key to shaping our culture, establishing dominance, and developing advancements to improve our enjoyment of life. - Cheers! Despite the construction challenges, we want to assure you that parking will still be available in the Marina Park parking lot, the Library, and south of Anthony's Homeport on Lake Street. These options are just a short walk away from our gallery, and we hope you'll continue to support us during this period. Our representation of The Art of Dr. Seuss will remain on display as usual, and we'll keep offering new works as they become available. We believe these unique and collectible pieces will provide a delightful experience for visitors of all ages. We still have on display from "Interruptions - Part I" oils and etchings by Jurgen Gorg, etchings by Willi Kissmer, and bronzes by Kevin Pettelle, along with other intriguing pieces. Additionally, don't forget to explore our drawers filled with unframed artwork, which we're happy to discuss with you. Expected in a week are new works by our Spanish artist Silmar and fingers crossed - New wire sculpture by Calvin Allison! These are favorites and not to be missed! We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your ongoing support as we navigate through these upcoming months. Whether you're visiting to browse our gallery, appreciate the works of Dr. Seuss, or simply soak in the vibrant atmosphere of downtown Kirkland and the Marina District, we eagerly anticipate welcoming you, whether or not you come prepared to make a purchase. Thank you for being an integral part of our community, and we eagerly await your visit.
