The focus of Altered Barbie is based on Barbie and her dream world. Love her or hate her she’s here to stay, and she means different things to different people. We have over 40 works from amazing artists all around the area who show us what Barbie does for them. Everything from paintings to sewing, to sculptural art all with Barbie as the muse.

bARTer Sauce trader, Ariane Jimison's Barbie Fish Monster piece is a part of the show. If you want to see it in person - now is the time.

November 5th is your last chance to catch La Condicion Humana (The Human Condition) at Vermillion.

bARTer Sauce trader and supporter, Kelly Lyles' artwork is featured in the show (and The Stranger recently featured art from the show as well). I attended the opening night reception and took a few pictures for you to enjoy. Read more about the show via the press release below:

Kim Allen, the Biscuit Bitch, was kind enough to answer my fundraising call by purchasing a year-long ad on the bARTer Sauce website. I was (and still am) trying to raise $100 so that a student can mail me a large painting of an erect penis. So far we have raised $40. If you would like to help the cause, email me at rosalie@bartersauce.com.

Now, let's learn a little more about Kim, the Biscuit Bitch:

Name: Kim Allen
Profession: Biscuiteer

Seattle artists who rent studios in the 619 Western building were surprised when their move out date (required by the city for the viaduct replacement project) was moved UP from March 2012 to October 2011.  It seems a shabby ending for a building that has housed so much creativity and given the citizens of Seattle so much pleasure.

Last weekend we tried to get out of helping a friend move by going to an art show called Mad Homes. Little did we know that her old apartment was right next to the installation. We had to hide in some bushes while she finished loading up her truck and drove away. It was worth it.
