*Guest Artist: Christy Caravaglio *will be hosting a paper embroidery craft session! Caravaglio is a fiber artist living in Kent, WA. Her designs are inspired by traditional and contemporary quilt designs as well as an artistic sense of pattern and color. 

*Guest Performance:* Performing songwriter *Allison Preisinger* imbues all these realties in her work. Think Joni Mitchell meets Van Morrison with a warmth to brighten up an overcast Pacific Northwest sky. Sometimes a guitar can be a cabin in the thick woods. Sometimes a song can be a family story passed down through generations to preserve what matters.

Sunnam Manuel

*Vault Gallery [ https://www.auburnwa.gov/cms/One.aspx?portalId=11470638&pageId=19742280 ]
**20 Auburn Ave*

Artist: *Sunnam Manuel [ https://sunatnight.art/ ]*
Exhibition Dates:* April 10 - July 13, 2024
*

"Through "My World in Ink" I share how I see the world through my infatuation with the materiality of ink. My practice is strongly rooted in the cultural traditions of Korean ink painting and calligraphy. By synthesizing these centuries-old techniques with contemporary methods, through the inclusion of new motifs, unconventional compositions, and modern styles of presentation, I aim to facilitate a connection between historical visual languages, narratives, and aesthetics within the modern world. "My World in Ink" features a series of ink paintings and calligraphy made with either rice or mulberry papers. This paper was prepared through a traditional process called wet mounting, where a wheat paste or animal fat glue is applied to combine and strengthen multiple layers. This process can take up to twenty-four hours of repeated wetting and drying before resulting in a satisfactory painting surface."





Lalitha Bandaru

*Art on Main Gallery [ https://www.auburnwa.gov/cms/one.aspx?portalId=11470638&pageId=12529278 ]*
*East Main Street between N. Division St. and Auburn Avenue*

Artist: *Lalitha Bandaru [ https://www.lalithabandaru.com/ ]*
Exhibition Dates:* April 8 - July 8, 2024

*We are happy to announce Lalitha Bandaru as our new Art on Main Installation artist! Bandaru aims to tackle the concept of "unfurling" and the life cycle of a butterfly. "The ‘Unfurling’ installation explores the fragility of things in nature more specifically— the metamorphosis and disappearance of the most beautiful, delicate little beings – the butterflies. Their journey from being an egg, caterpillar, chrysalis and then into a butterfly is both unique and magical and has always fascinated me." Seven painted canvas pieces will be installed draping from a center point, mimicking a butterfly that has just emerged out of its chrysalis. Says Bandaru, "I find this stage of the butterfly –where the butterfly is drying and stretching its wings – intriguing and beautiful as it is the start of its new journey of facing the challenges of the world. "

Esther Loopstra

910 Ninth St. SE*

Artist:* Esther Loopstra*
Exhibition Dates:* May 9 - July 11, 2024*

We are eager to introduce Esther Loopstra as the next artist on display at the Auburn Community Center Gallery! "I am a Seattle-based artist and writer whose work reflects my ongoing relationship with my body and connection to others and the natural world. Being neurodivergent, and dealing with mental health struggles, chronic illness, and disability most of my life, I have a complex relationship with my body and mind that informs my work." These mixed media paintings swirl on the canvas and freely unfold according to intuition and Loopstra's own poems. "My work takes the viewer on a passage, revealing the abstract essences and blurring the lines between our human internal systems and the nature around us."

Exhibition Dates: *March 6 - May 8, 2024*

We are happy to introduce Valentina Voronkova as our new Cheryl Sallee Gallery artist! Valentina Voronkova did not always identify as an artist. "In 1993 I moved to Seattle from St. Petersburg, Russia to study biochemistry at the UW Ph.D. program...I worked as a researcher at different companies in the biotech industry" explains Voronkova. "However by the end of my university study I became more and more fascinated with Art. In 2012 my unfinished dialog with art became very loud and I decided to leave science and continue it at the Mark O’Higgins atelier program at Gage Academy of Art, Seattle." Voronkova now participates in art programs and Plein Air groups to hone her impressionist style.

The last day to view this exhibition is May 8.





William Hanley

**Auburn Senior Center
808 Ninth St. SE*

Artist: William Hanley
Exhibition Dates: *March 6 - May 8, 2024*

We are happy to introduce William Hanley as our new Cheryl Sallee Gallery artist! Hanley was born and raised in Seattle, and still resides in the Pacific Northwest. "I am a professional nature photographer who emphasizes connections between positive mental health, nature, and art." As someone who has battled depression off and on for many years, he learned that his meditative, contemplative approach to photographing nature helped to lessen sadness and promote peace within himself.  He hopes that in observing his photos, the viewer may experience many of the same blessings of calm and awe that he feels during his nature walks.

Nationally recognized artist and Auburn native Marita Dingus is taking over the Museum! Where Castoffs Go to Heal and Grow displays over 40 pieces spanning Dingus’s career. The exquisitely upcycled assemblages range from under 1 ft to 20 ft tall. The sculptures fill the Museum’s gallery space reflecting the indoor and outdoor experience of visiting Dingus’s family home now artist studio. In the Museum’s permanent exhibits, Dingus’s work invites the visitor to contemplate what it means to see black faces in historic spaces where they have traditionally been castoff, excluded, or forgotten.
