"Fine Art Postcard" auction underway in Olympia

By Volcano Staff on January 31, 2014

Once again the gallery at South Puget Sound Community College is filled with artists' postcards. This year the theme is "It's the Water," the old Olympia Beer slogan. Nearly 300 works by 76 artists are on display at The Gallery at the Kenneth J. Minnaert Center for the Arts.

Weekly Volcano art critic Alec Clayton reviewed the Fine Art Postcard Exhibition:

One card that I found to be particularly appealing for reasons I can't begin to understand is one by Mark Holland that has a hand-drawn postmark partially covered by a 33-cent stamp with a picture of an apple. Glued onto it is a piece of paper with the words "I Love You."

There's a chance to take home the original art in the show. Each piece was donated by the artist for the exhibition's silent auction, open now. Bidding will be open until 7 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 21, the exhibit's closing reception. The closing reception begins at 6 p.m. At the end of the reception, winners will be announced and artwork can be taken home.

"IT'S THE WATER FINE ART POSTCARD EXHIBITION," noon to 4 p.m. Monday-Friday, through Feb. 21, Kenneth J Minnaert Center for the Arts Gallery, South Puget Sound Community College, 2011 Mottman Rd. SW. Olympia, 360.596.5527
