This September at Gallery 110, Amara Eke and Bonnie Hopper each take a familiar form and make it entirely their own.

Eke's Everyday I'm Shuffling reimagines the tarot with Black and queer figures at its center, brought to life through playful, galactic motifs. Hopper's A Royal Flush in a Full House reframes revolutionary and historical African Americans as an Art Nouveau-style deck of cards, elevating their histories through bold, stylized portraiture.

Two artists, two powerful visions. Come see both up close.

📍 Gallery 110, Pioneer Square, Seattle
🗓️ On view Sept 3 – 26
🎉 Bonnie Hopper Artist Reception: Sat, Sept 5 | 2–5 PM

@belltownblast is just so cool. Always amazing to watch how much can be accomplished by artists making murals. These are some but not all in progress and completed.

@alleycatzseattle 1 year strong 💪🏼

If you come by @belltownblast this weekend wander over to the alley behind @base.camp.studios 2 and discover a world of colorful cats, painted over the last year to bring new life to the seedy underbelly of Seattles alley culture.

Belltown has always been an “open arms” community for a lot of different people to find peace and have their place. This neighborhood births artists and has a special magic that can’t be copied or marketed. That’s why every year we open up the street for this party, to celebrate BELLTOWN and its people. Every year we build walls for artists to express themselves , network and have a fun day of painting in their favorite neighborhood, and this year is no different! We have 16 artists each painting a 6x6’ wall. Saturday August 15th come down and support these amazing visual artists!

“Beautiful and graceful, varied and enchanting, small but approachable, butterflies lead you to the sunny side of life. And everyone deserves a little sunshine.” Jeffrey Glassberg 🦋

There is a whole lot of new sunshine on 3rd Avenue between Westlake Station and Pike Place Market on the stretch between Stewart and Union which is quickly and colloquially becoming known as the “Butterfly Blocks.” 40 artists, fabricators, and producers collaborated with 1,400 community members to create more than 1,111 individual public art pieces.

This project has been in the cocoon since October of 2025. Mini murals, massive murals, light art, sculpture, string installations, pressure wash art, window graphics - all with references to butterflies and flowers - make up our special kaleidoscope residing downtown.

Base Camp worked with @seattledot, @seattledcc, and @downtownseattle on the project, with @creativityinacan conducting the chaotic whimsy cruise that helped all of the butterflies find their place. He will also lead maintainance.

A major contributor and inspiration to the theme of the project was artist @nasecase. The 1000 butterflies spotted on awnings the entire length of the Butterfly Blocks were a result of her ongoing community project @true.butterfly.effect that reminds us our individual small acts of kindness and expressions of beauty can reverberate powerfully through our communities

Special thanks to @films.about.artists for capturing this beautiful documentation; to @suneevasaldanha for speaking about her Dahlia motif; and to Julia who played a critical part in the planning process
