The next show to hit the stage courtesy of Riot To Follow, Evergreen’s student theater company, will be 'The Pillowman,' a tragicomedy by Martin McDonagh.

Don’t let the genre mislead you; The Pillowman is a twisted story riddled with injustice and murder. The play follows the interrogation of a short story writer named Katurian Katurian, whose darker and more sinister stories have recently been coming true.

Home, Itself, Strange is Liz Sales' series of 69 synthetic images converted from a thirty-second video portrait. Sales (class of 2001) combines the data in each still frame with audio data from the Magnetic Field’s three-volume album, 69 Love Songs. Sales reinterprets image, audio, and text data; allowing for the integration of essential information from each song into each image.

Evergreen housing residents showed off their art work in an art show at the HCC on Wednesday, February 8th. We talked to student artist Joel Tiura about his aesthetic vision. 

Now through March 13, The Evergreen Gallery hosts a new mixed media exhibition titled “Gathering Together: The Art of Danielle Bodine, Adriene Cruz, Alonzo Davis.” These three nationally recognized artists, two based in the Northwest, contribute visually diverse multimedia sculptures. Linked together by their particular combinations of natural and manufactured materials, the exhibition reflects the “artists’ diverse cultural heritages and personal histories,” according to the organizers.

The Westside Arts Walk that took place on Saturday, January 28th, is not to be confused with Arts Walk Olympia. A distinguished community event, Arts Walk Olympia happens every October to celebrate locals business, visual art, and Oly’s historic downtown. The target demographic for that event is either a) families, or, b) wearers of handcrafted jewelry, whose houses are full of tastefully arranged antiques, and who have developed discriminating wine palates.
