Friends!

Save the date – Invitation to follow:

The BAZAAR! Crawl Space’s annual throw-down fundraiser party
Saturday, November 17th from 6-9pm at Crawl Space
$25 with open bar, food, dancing and art

The BAZAAR! is our only fundraiser in 2007, the only time we’re asking all
of our people to come out and support Crawl Space. We need each of you to
help us grow our programming, and keep the lights on and the rent paid!

2007 has been an incredibly effective and inventive year for Crawl Space,
challenging early-career artists with monthly exhibits, our first
international juried exhibition, a new intensive residency program, and
developing a strategic plan to keep the gallery influential and valuable
to the arts community for years to come.  We are all so thankful to you
and our community for your consistent support!

Join us on November 17th for an evening of drinks, dancing, hors d'oeuvres
from local gourmets, festooned servers (e.g. Brazilian Carnival meets Euro
club kids), and a preview of this year’s exhibition of current works by
Crawl Space member-artists. This zany, lively event helps to cover a
significant portion of yearly rent, utilities, and programming costs that
our member artists aren't able to cover out-of-pocket. The Bazaar! will be
hosted and attended by SAM Curator of Modern & Contemporary Art Michael
Darling, pioneering video artist Gary Hill, and a superstar Booster Club
of Crawl Space fans.

Pushing boundaries with quality shows has won Crawl Space accolades and
awards from local and regional press, including the 2006 Stranger Genius
“Shortlist” award for Arts Organization. According to critic Regina
Hackett in the July 1, 2006 Seattle Post-Intelligencer, “What
distinguishes Crawl Space is quality. On a shoestring with only their
peers as contacts, these artists have built serious credibility fast.”

Here’s our chance to keep it going - and party it up with gourmet food,
copious beverages, costumed club kids, new art, and the amazing people who
love Crawl Space!

I hope to see you on the 17th!  If you aren’t able to make the event, we
are still grateful for your donation.

Diana
