Water Matters

August 5 to October 24

Water Matters, on display Aug. 5 to Oct. 24 at the Seattle Municipal Tower Gallery will examine artists' response to water. The show features works by more than 25 artists in a variety of media, including sculpture, painting, printmaking, ceramics, photography and mixed media.

See Ed Wicklander's Under the Bridge, a fanciful three-dimensional bridge with waterway constructed of rocks, cement, metal and glass. See Susan Point's Native American serigraph, Preservation, and Barbara Earl Thomas' elegant exploration of people interacting with waterways in the painting Swift Water Bird. View SuttonBeresCuller's photograph, Fish Bowls, which documents the artist team's installation at the outdoor sculpture exhibition, From the Ground Up, in Duvall, Wash., in 2000.

Curator Deborah Paine selected the pieces for Water Matters from the city's Portable Works Collection, which is managed by the Office.
