Some of the best time entertainment value viewing art may be had at the Everett Station Lofts and the DeSoto Building.
DeSoto, comprising Blue Sky Gallery, The Nine Gallery, The Charles Hartman Gallery, The Museum of Contemporary Craft, Augen and Froelich cover a range of superbly curated work in for profit and non profit spaces. The DeSoto Building is bounded by Broadway, Davis and NW Park.
The Everett Station Lofts are live work spaces, changing always, showing spirited and usually authentic work. It's faster for you to see than me write about. Some notable spaces are Sequential Art, which has activated its website, including references to other galleries; Tilt Gallery, known for seriously curated installation; and The Pony Club with very inexpensive drawing-style work begging to be taken home by you. The Everett Station Lofts are bounded by Everett, Broadway, Flanders and NW6th. Generally open until at least 9:30PM
Ogle has work by prolific and provocative Scott Wayne Indiana. Indiana has organized park land art shows and embedded dozens of axes in the ceiling above art viewers. He is the instigator of the Horse Project, the toy ones attached to rings in the curb from the pre-fossil fuel days; he has been collaborating with Harvest Henderson and Andrea Zittel on the Cali desert Geochain. This month Ogle has 3 Indiana works: "Blown Over", "Door Man" and "one day you motherfuckers will See". He also has a performance at the gallery "Waiting in Line" April 19.
