ARTbeat Benefit Gala
Brick House Funk
presented
2014 by Kirkland Arts Center
October 24th, 2015
From the Executive Director
I would like to personally welcome you to Kirkland Arts Center’s 7th
Annual ARTbeat Benefit, Brick House Funk. Tonight we will take a
look back at the art, music, and vibes of the 1970s Funk era. This
revolutionary time broke the rules and birthed a new line of tunes
for moving and grooving, embodied by Motown and Disco icons like
James Brown, ABBA, John Travolta, and Michael Jackson. We hope
you enjoy ARTbeat’s dynamic artwork featuring over 40 outstanding
artists, available for the bidding in tonight’s live and silent auctions.
Don’t forget to stop by our interactive ARTbeat installation, a special
tribute to KAC’s historic Brick House, the Peter Kirk Building.
By making a purchase at the auction or by contributing during the
Fund-A-Need, you are playing a direct role in ensuring that the
Kirkland Arts Center continues to provide exemplary visual arts
programming to aspiring and talented artists in our community.
Additionally, a portion of the funds will help preserve one of the oldest
and most important historic buildings in Kirkland where the founder of
this city established his offices in 1892, the Peter Kirk Building.
I would also like to offer my sincerest gratitude for the dedication
and support of so many who make this auction possible- the
generous donating Artists, Businesses & Individuals; the Angels and
the Art Committee; the Board of Directors and Advisory Council;
the Volunteers; the Staff; and you, for your continued support and
participation.
With my sincere thanks,
Pamela Kirk Rembold

Hope Station One by Brian Somers
LIVE
Ceramic
18” x 4” x 7”
DONOR: Brian Somers
VALUE: $875
Brian Somers works in a variety of art media. Somers
embraces the blending of opposites, which can be
seen in the contrasts—hard/soft, 2D/3D, light/dark,
permanence/transience, etc.—he captures in his
work. The surface of his clay box is reminiscent of
Chou dynasty bronze cooking and ceremonial vessels,
and its form suggests the deconstruction of posttechnology buildings. Somers constructed the piece
out of wet stoneware, slammed it together with abandon and then fired it in
the raku process, creating a work that is nearly the polar opposite of Brian’s
wheel-thrown, high temperature, porcelain clay, functional, handless cups.

You’re the One by Michael Dickter
Pastel and resin on paper mounted on board
15” x 24”
DONOR: Michael Dickter
VALUE: $1,400
Birds, flowers, and
animals all talk to
Michael Dickter of our
shared experiences:
connection and isolation,
love and loss, permanence and impermanence. He paints to tell a story of
the beauty of loss and hope. With marks and drips, with paint and pencil,
and through a series of small decisions and struggles, a painting is made.
That exquisite and fleeting moment of creation. A story told. This is a pastel
piece featuring a bird (waxwing) and a flower (iris). The resin over the pastel
makes the piece permanent, but at the same time alters the pastel and
stains the paper.

Seraphim 5 by Stephanie Hargrave
Encaustic
18” x 18”
DONOR: Stephanie Hargrave
VALUE: $975
Hargrave’s encaustic work strives
to combine biology and botany with
imagery that isn’t overt necessarily,
but feels ultimately familiar. She is
influenced by the shapes of natural
structures as varied as pods, spines,
pollen, DNA strands, sea urchins,
cellular structures, blooms, bones,
and husks. Her paintings incorporate a tendency to abstract organic forms,
and in doing so, emphasize the direct correlation between subject matter
and materials, as pure bee’s wax, resin and pigments are heated, layered
and fused with a torch. Each painting grows naturally through the process of
layering, decision making, eliminating, receding, assessing and at some point,
knowing when to walk away.

the creative arts his entire life. He paints
the beauty of nature and our humanity.

developed his own unique technique
and style, producing vibrant luminescent
colors with raw ingredients. He inlays
gold, copper, silver, and variegated metals, and adds metallic and luminescent
powder and glass beads to produce an interaction with light. It is a process, an
evolution; he paints and the painting reacts. It is controlled and uncontrolled,
raw and refined. His style is emerging and gaining momentum.

FUND-A-NEED
LIVE
Creativity is at the heart of innovation. Without dedicated places for art
and opportunities to create, Kirkland’s excellence in technology would not be
our reality today. Creative thinking informs our best leaders and inspires
solutions to our greatest challenges.
You are invited to listen to a local artist and
community member, Anna Macrae, share
what Kirkland Arts Center has meant to her.
Anna discovered KAC to be much more
than a local arts school and gallery: an
inspirational place to begin her art career.
KAC is a community: a special place where
arts students, instructors, community
members, working artists, and arts patrons
gather to create, learn, and connect with art.
KAC’s education program revenue makes up only 60% of the funds
necessary to keep Kirkland Arts Center alive and thriving. In order
to remain a vibrant artistic center for the community, KAC needs your support.
Your contribution tonight will help KAC:
•
Offer affordable and engaging visual arts classes
•
Bring exhibitions & artistic outreach opportunities to Kirkland and beyond
•
Give scholarships to youth, adults, and teens in need
•
Preserve one of the oldest & most important historic buildings in Kirkland.
Our Mission.
Kirkland Arts Center promotes artistic mastery and community participation
in the visual arts through innovative educational programming, contemporary
exhibitions, and dynamic events while providing stewardship of the historic
Peter Kirk Building.
A special thank you to Anna Macrae, Michael Ottersen and his students, and Will
Braden for their part in creating our featured video.

the potential chaos of the unknown
during the creative process of making
abstraction. Macrae courts contrast
and contradiction in her work, and
surrenders to the rules of chance and
natural intuition. “Pretty Bubbles” references a playful mood, using bold
psychedelic colors and simple positive and negative shapes.

36” x 36”
DONOR: Todd Houle
VALUE: $1,500
Donna Lindeman Porter is a traveling
artist, curator, designer, and teacher who
has been painting, drawing, and creating
most of her life. Life’s textures, colors,

and laughter enrich her work. Donna is
a process artist who allows her materials
and shapes to tickle her fancy and many
times turn a different corner on her creative path. Like Br’er Rabbit, her nest
is now an art studio, not her past corporate life. This painting is multilayered,
with hidden large and small creatures that evoke joy and mystery.

Cradle #2: Forbidden City by Cheryll Leo-Gwin
LIVE
Acrylic on Board
30” x 30” x 2”
DONOR: Cheryll Leo-Gwin
VALUE: $2,500
Cheryll Leo-Gwin often finds herself
immersed in parallel worlds of
opposites… differences not only in
culture, but also in politics, religion,
justice, gender, love and loss, and
other aspects of the human condition.
Over the past several years, she
collected oral histories from Chinese
and Chinese Americans, using those histories as a point of departure for her
paintings and prints. The piece entitled “Forbidden City” (painted with acrylic
on board) refers to the Chinese nightclub in San Francisco during the 1930s
to late 1950s. Catering primarily to a Caucasian audience, for the first time in
the US, Chinese Americans showed off their talents for singing and dancing..
