Welcome to Industry&Art, the Fall’s Must-See Art Exhibit and Sale
“Celebrating the Worker” honors the diligence and hard work of creation, whether it is a design schematic for a ship, a 300 foot long barge, a photograph, a painting or a sculpture. There truly is an art in mastering most of life’s tasks and an expansive common ground between Industry&Art.
Through the work of more than 30 professional artists, this year’s exhibit seeks to create awareness for the Pacific Northwest’s unique, often hidden, industrial culture. It is an unprecedented 21st century look at the industrial worker of today—the kind of tools they use, the environment they work in, what they create and how those creations make lives better. We hope to see you there.
