Art at VAIN (both locations!) in December: Heavy Metal, Manger Magic

Sunday, December 2nd, 2007

We’ve got some truly excellent art shows opening at both VAIN locations this week. First, at VAIN downtown, we’ve got Atlanta artist R. Land’s 3rd annual Holiday Manger Magic art show. R. Land has quite the cult following, and if you’ve seen his paintings, famous Loss Cat fliers, or work with The Cartoon Network’s Aqua Teen Hunger Force, then you know why.

Opening reception for R.Land’s Holiday Manger Magic show Thursday, Dec 6 from 6 to 10pm at VAIN downtown- 2018 1st Ave. Art on display through the end of January.

Next up at VAIN Ballard, we’ve got new works by metal (ok, maybe not heavy, but still metal) + enamel artist Julia Garrels for Ballard’s Second Saturday Art Walk. Julia, also known as MetalWing, creates some of the most vivid and unique wearable art around. Call it a trunk show, call it an art opening, call it great work that’s not to be missed.

“I love to create art for the human form, something that highlights the natural attributes of a person. Or just makes someone feel happy.”

Opening reception for New Works by Julia Garrels Saturday, Dec 8 from 6 to 9pm at VAIN Ballard- 5401 Ballard Ave NW. Pieces on display through the end of December.

Seasonal snacks and refreshments will be served at both openings.

See you on Thursday and Saturday at VAIN!
