Why Do We Make Things?

Keep an eye on Capitol Hill this month, when new gallery-slash-conceptual-center THE PROJECT ROOM (TPR) is slated to open in the space formerly known as the Copper Vine (1315 E Pine St.). Run by independent Seattle curator Jess Van Nostrand, TPR is “an interdisciplinary arts experiment” that invites artists and the public to answer a question. The first query is “Why do we make things?” which local fiber artist Mandy Greer will answer via her gorgeous and sprawling work (see jessvannostrand.com).
