Get in free to the Museum of Glass all weekend this Saturday and Sunday, and catch the new, MOG-organized exhibition of Tlingit artist Preston Singletary.
Singletary, a renowned Seattle-based artist whose work is featured at the Hotel Murano and who showed last November at Traver Gallery, transforms the curves and strong lines of Northwest Native art into opaque red, black and clear glass to create work that's both dramatic and profound. The MOG show, "Preston Singletary: Echoes, Fire, and Shadows," has been in the works for a while, and is the first mid-career survey of Singletary's work.
Here are the events for the opening weekend:
8 p.m. July 10: Member and artist reception. Free for MOG members and tribal members; $15 otherwise.
10 a.m.-5 p.m. July 11: Opening day. Free admission to all. 1-4 p.m.: Family activities include readings by Tlingit artist and author Miranda Belarde-Lewis, creating your own family crest regalia, performance by Native American violinist, storyteller and poet Swil Kanim (1 p.m.), performance in regalia by Northern Star Dancers (3 p.m.)
Noon-5 p.m. July 12: Museum open and free to all. 2 p.m.: Conversation, lecture, slide presentation and walk-through with Preston Singletary
After this weekend, however, MOG admission rates are going up. (Sign of the economic times?)
The new rates are: $12 adults/$10 seniors, students and military/$10 per person for adult groups of 10+/$5 children 6 – 12/$36 family/free for members and under-fives
The Museum of Glass is located at 1801 Dock St., Tacoma. 866-4-MUSEUM, www.museumofglass.org
