Sneak Preview of Visual Art at Bumbershoot

Don't forget to stop by the Northwest Rooms for the Visual Art segment of Bumbershoot this weekend.

There are several lively installations, including Portrait Challenge, thirty years of Counter Culture Comix, a marimba-playing robot that will jam with you, a wall of profanity and more. Artist and Portrait Challenge coordinator Ryan Molenkamp has been snapping some shots for us behind the scenes as artists get ready for the big opening this Friday, after the Mayor's Arts Awards.
