Back to school, but make it fun—it's time for the Frye's Art History Lecture Series! Learn about influential contemporary artists (like current Frye artist Martin Wong) AND historical superstars (like 16th-century Flemish painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder). The breadth and depth offered by veteran Frye lecturer Rebecca Albiani is always a joy! Opt for an in-person pass (true school vibes) or the online recordings pass (learn on your schedule)! Either way, passes are selling quick, so grab one for yourself: https://lnkd.in/gGSf55cm

Artist Stephanie Syjuco often uses archives and museum collections to reexamine historical narratives. Our exhibition "After/Images" contains a brand new piece that Syjuco researched and designed over a series of visits to the Filipino American National Historic Society archive here in Seattle. The resulting piece "Tender, Sifter, Keeper, Center" lovingly unearths and presents personal histories of Filipino Americans rarely seen in museums. This piece and exhibition were made possible by the support of the City of Seattle Office of Arts & Culture. [Installation view of Stephanie Syjuco: After/Images, Frye Art Museum.

#ICYMI "Stephanie Syjuco: After/Images" is a The Seattle Times staff pick from Gayle Clemans for must-see art this August!
