Here at The Adventure School we consider our entire process as entrepreneurs to be an adventure and each one of our events to be adventures in themselves. But, every once in a while, that old familiar itch to hit the road strikes. And when it does . . . we do! So, a cornerstone of Team Adventure, Aviva Palmer, spent much of the month of April wandering around Peru with two faithful buddies and traveling companions, Rowan and Asa of the fine state of Vermont. They hit up Lima’s wondrous fountain park and fell in love with tasty Peruvian beverages. They made friends, bought finger puppets and generally impressed other tourists with their mad parkour stylings. We will let the wondrous images of Machu Picchu speak for themselves. If you want some sweet tips about Peruvian adventure and how to save your nuevos soles hit her up: aviva@theadventureschool.com.

If you are a teen or know someone who is . . . you should come to this panel tonight! The Adventure School will be speaking about what it is like to be an entrepreneur at the behest of our friend and 2008 Loreal Woman of Worth, Nancy Chang who runs a fabulous youth program for the City of Redmond working with RYPAC, the Redmond Youth Partnership Advisory Committee! The best and weirdest part is that the panel will be held inside of MY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, which has since become a community center. But, back from 1984 to 1991 it was my main stomping grounds! Big ups to the gym! Holla at the cafeteria! What’s up playshed! Hey there BIG SLIDE! The panel information is as follows: Career Panel Series Location Career Panel Panelists will give some background information about what they do, and how they got started. Afterwards the panel will be open to questions and discussions. Do you own thing! Start a business or a non-profit Evening’s schedule
at Crawl Space Gallery for their new show Call and Response curated by Jeffry Mitchell. The show will be showing you many dudes: OPENING RECEPTION Saturday 28 March, 6-9pm It will be reallllly ruling. Jeffry Mitchell is very nice and so is Crawl Space, so it’s like BFF-chic. But don’t take my werd for it, check out what Crawl Space has to say . . . “Crawl Space is pleased to present its third annual Centennial Exhibition, juried and curated by renowned artist Jeffry Mitchell. The exhibition features ten artists from the Pacific North West working in a variety of mediums, as well as a piece by the juror himself. Mitchell is therefore acting as both artist and curator, and we were interested to see how these roles might influence the composition of the show. Instead of an overall theme emerging from the submissions, Mitchell saw relationships forming between pairs of works or between two artists’ practices. CALL AND RESPONSE features five selected couplings that challenge, answer or echo each other through subject matter, historical reference or material. The concept of the exhibition is revealed further as Jeffry Mitchell recounts his thoughts as he selected the works: A feather, a skull, the moon and stars, a man (?) and half a lady, crystals and sequins and the grandchildren of Piero Manzoni and Allan Kaprow. There’s something about magic, Hippie magic, and the way the LOVE CHILDREN freed them selves from the cross and sought spiritual expression through ancient forms other than the Christian one that resonates through this show for me. It’s very much my story, and the story I look for. It’s the story that I can’t help but see and although I claim that each pair of works in this show found each other on their own, the instant I see these works I bring stories to each of them, helplessly, naturally. Jeffry Mitchell is a sculptor, printmaker, painter and conceptual artist who references a wide spectrum of art history and decorative arts. Jeffry Mitchell has had solo shows at the Henry Gallery, University of Washington, Diverseworks, Houston, TX, the New Museum of Contemporary Art, NYC and the Seattle Art Museum. His works are in the collections of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Contemporary Museum in Honolulu, the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University, the Philadelphia Art Museum, the New York Public Library, and the Seattle Art Museum among others”. In sum, see you tomorrow. Everybody get free. Also, do you guys want to shotgun some beers in the courtyard?
A fabulous The Adventure School event, the 2009 Henry Art Gallery benefit, is featured on the “Snapshots” page of the April 2009 issue of Seattle Metropolitan Magazine. Check out page 38 in your Seattle Met Magazine or peep it at your local independent bookstore
Venerable photographer of nature, travel, fashion and life, Philip Kramer, will be holding a show for your viewing pleasure here in Seattle, tomorrow. If you attend, Team Adventure, will surely be there to share a toast with you. So, come to Fremont Place Books, this Friday, March 6th from 6p.m. to 9ish. Technically, it is a part of the Fremont First Friday Art Walk. Also, technically, it is very close to PCC, from whose food collection you can taste many samples. The work is a selection of medium format photographs from Europe with a smattering of some very recent images from the Pacific Northwest (specifically middle-of-nowhere Oregon). Also, important to note, Friend of Adventure, Joana Chavez developed the concept for FPB participating in the art walk and she has a show there next month. See you tomorrow night. Whoomp, there it is.

Morgane Le GALL, intrepid French road-tripper on the American road tells a story . . . This last weekend four very French people were driving and most of the time getting lost on the Washington state roads. Several days ago, they had decided to go on a “road trip” to get a very American experience.
We were proud to plan the 2009 Henry Art Gallery benefit, See Listen Taste Feel! We worked with a group of the most amazing people at The Henry and elsewhere, including Jeppe Hein, the Berlin-based visionary behind the event, to transform a light industrial space in South Lake Union into party central. The party was as delicious as it was beautiful, featuring incredible food by Johnathan Sundstrom from Lark and glam desserts from Bakery Nouveau’s chef/owner William Leaman, Champion De Monde de la Boulangerie. Jeppe Hein created a vision complete with burning barrels in the parking lot to 30 secret ping-pong tables and a large site specific installation entitled 360º Illusion to enchant all who wandered in from Chihuly to SHAG members (Student / Henry Advisory Group). Entertainment was a beautiful chaos including composer Zeke Keeble and bassist Evan Florey-Barnes, Orkestar Zirconium
