Fountainhead Gallery, our local art gallery and Queen Anne Art Walk destination, is marking a major milestone this month – 20 years on Queen Anne. To celebrate, the gallery is featuring a special opening reception this Saturday as it kicks off “Twenty Springs,” an exhibition of artwork from seven Pacific Northwest artists: Laura Beso, Scott Lantz, Jim Matthew, Bobbie Mueller, Eric Rau, Angelita Surmon and Lou Wall.
Scott Lantz, Market Early A.M.As it turns twenty, Fountainhead is looking to the future with a focus on becoming a community arts and cultural center on Queen Anne.
Owners Sue and Ron envision Fountainhead as a space that “not only features our visual artists in solo and group shows, but will occasionally feature and support select performing arts and artists, showcasing music, poetry, drama, as well as an arts and lecture series, Enlighten Me, where dynamic speakers and visionaries from all walks of life and varied backgrounds share their expertise on a variety of relevant and timely subjects, entertain questions and promote openhearted dialogue.”
The opening reception this Saturday, March 5th signals the transition, highlighting not only visual artwork, but also music. Seattle guitarist Amir Beso will perform his “magical melodies” at the reception. You can check out early previews of artwork not pictured in this post on Fountainhead’s website.
