Working it for the Weekend

Where, when, what, and how to see, shop, and learn this weekend

By Laura Cassidy April 9, 2010

This piece by Dixie Darling is included in the show Accumulation at Fancy

See what I mean about that soft-sculpture accessories trend? A new show at Fancy in Belltown opens tonight; in it, hard and soft non-trad mixed-media pieces by local artists Rachel Rader, Sarah Loertscher, and Dixie Darling, whose work we featured here.

Nice people like you are welcome at the opening reception from 6-9p tonight, April 9. The pieces will be up through May 7.

In other stylish-goings-on-around-town, Field House announced the April schedule for those great (and free) DIY, live well, expand your mind, get stuff done, Sunday afternoon classes and events that began in March.

Check it out:

Matinee Movie: ALONE IN THE WILDERNESS
From the Field House folks: Come celebrate the life of Dick Proenneke, as The Field House shows the first of more-to-come movies! Dick Proenneke retired at age 50 in 1967 and decided to build his own cabin on the shore of Twin Lakes. The first summer he scouted for the best cabin site, and cut and peeled the logs he would need for his cabin. Dick Proenneke returned the next summer to finish the cabin where he lived for over 30 years. Dick filmed his adventures, and Bob Swerer later turned the film into a video so we can all watch this amazing man build his cabin by hand.
