And a huge thank you to the incredible Chloe King (@kinggtingg) for an electrifying Boren Banner. it is always a party getting to work with you, and I can’t wait to see what else you have in store! i hope everyone gets to join us for our fall 2026 opening—these exhibitions are going to be truly jaw-dropping. if you’re looking for a pick-me-up during the rainy Seattle days, stop by to see the new Boren Banner by Blake Blanco (@blake_blanco), up now and ready for gazing! head on over to the Frye’s IG link in bio to learn more and happy rainy season to you all!

it’s been such an incredible experience working with Camille Trautman on their Boren Banner exhibition at @fryeartmuseum. these haunting photographs expand the definition of indigenous storytelling and underline evasion of colonial gender constructs. come see them up close on oct. 15 and join us for the opening reception of all our fall 2025 exhibitions on oct. 24! you don’t wanna miss it! 📸: installation image at the university of arizona, tucson by @brujapapi

Here to brighten your feed is another Frye Store Faves, featuring beloved Frye curator Alexis! This series highlights the creative and thoughtful staff at the @fryeartmuseum and their favorite products, hand-picked from the Store! Alexis L. Silva (all pronouns) is the Curatorial Assistant at the Frye and has an expansive role here, curating their own exhibitions while also supporting other museum programing in different capacities. “I think what I love most about my position is meeting all the artists we work with,” says Alexis, of cultivating meaningful relationships with artists here at the museum. “They all come from different backgrounds and work in a variety of ways. It’s always great to connect with them and get to know them a little more personally.” “Having a studio art background has really helped me in my journey as a curator,” says Alexis, describing their own art practice and how it has evolved in tandem with their curatorial career. “While I will always say that I am an artist, I know my primary practice is in curatorial work,” they explain. When asked about their favorite objects in the Store, Alexis says they’re drawn to chain linked pieces, as well as the vast selection of greeting cards we carry. “I really love anything chain linked,” says Alexis, “it reminds me of my brother and his love for chains. So all of the chain works from MUSEUM STÖR are just *chef’s kiss.* I will say though, the number one thing I always go to the Frye Store for is greeting cards. We just have such a fun variety, perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, Thank Yous, I truly love getting cards at the Frye Store.” by @brujapapi
