SUMMARY:What is Erotic? at the MAH
DESCRIPTION:What is Erotic? at the MAH.    That's right\, the hottest date for Valentine's Day is here again in July presented by the MAH.  Come get a smaller dose of What is Erotic? as we say goodbye to the Love Fest exhibit at the MAH.    As humans we are all sexual beings.  Sex is both a compelling and volatile subject and is often used to abuse\, manipulate\, control\, and shame.  Our vision is to be the solution to bringing our relationship with sexuality back into integrity.    In the past 7 years “What is Erotic?” has invited artists to answer this one provocative question…  Although this is a titillating performance arts show\, it’s also a safe space for exploration\, education\, and self expression of sexuality and relationship through combining personal development and the creative arts.  18 and over only.    The 418 Project (www.the418.org) has been the home of What is Erotic? for the past 7 years.  We proudly thank them as our biggest fans and sponsors.

SUMMARY:Makers at the MAH: "Forage Species" with Edward Martinez

These species are changing their behavior and patters dramatically which should be seen as a sign that the system that delivers our salmon\, halibut and Sea Bass is under stress.    “Forage species “ attempts to put into perspective visually\,  our relationship to these tiny angels. It also begs the viewer to ask questions about changing climate\, toxic industry\, and human disruption of viable ecosystem. Especially when they see Bees disappearing in mass numbers\, where they see radical changes to the numbers and migratory patterns of these crucial indicator species.

SUMMARY:Free First Friday October
DESCRIPTION:  Friday\, October 7  11am – 9pm.    Free admission and extended hours. From 5-9pm\, enjoy a no-host bar and live music while enjoying art and mingling with friends. cost: free.  Screening of Papillons de Nuit 7pm  Papillons de Nuit—Butterflies of the Night—is a video of the night visitors photographed every evening on the artist’s lighted window. Attracted to the light\, the moth has entered mythology and inspired poetry as a symbol of devotion and sacrifice in many cultures. Paradoxically\, our common wisdom dismisses the moth as unpleasant\, and it is often extinguished with the glancing blow of the hand.  Using macro photography and video\, with the simplicity of early films\, artist Diana Hobson presents the exquisite detail and beauty of the common moth—every one an individual in its intricacy and diversity.
