Orcas Paley presents

BESTIARY

Oct 16 - Nov 2

Opening reception Oct 17, 5-7pm

Orcas Paley's 7th annual group show takes a cue from the medieval book of beasts.

Bestiary celebrates the creatures in our lives, be they domestic or wild, real or imagined, friendly or frightening, or somewhere in between. The bestiary of yore was a compendium of fantasy, observation, literary reference, allegory, and symbolism. In the spirit of this eclectic format, Bestiary invites more than 40 artists from Seattle and beyond to bring their best beast to the mix.
