Crush/Repeat was an annual art show for queer community & friends

Crush/Repeat was an annual art event for queer community and their friends, where participants of all ages and experience levels chose a small project to repeat every day during the month of March. Their work was then presented at a celebratory show in April. Mediums have included photography, painting, sewing, sculpture, music, writing, video, and more, with topics ranging from lighthearted to deeply personal. Borrowing inspiration from a national project called Fun-a-day, established artists and first-time creators alike emerged from winter together using art as an act of resistance, resilience and growth.

 
 

Location

A Seattle based show

 

Beginning in 2020 our shows became strictly virtual so as to protect our community. Prior to the pandemic, we started out in a Beacon Hill punk house basement, then moved to various galleries, including ArtSpace Mount Baker, LoveCityLove, Gay City, and Vermillion Art Gallery & Bar.
