Manal Deeb (Ramallah, Palestine/Washington DC) at Marmot Art Space – First Friday

DECEMBER FIRST FRIDAY

MARMOT ART SPACE PRESENTS…

MANAL DEEB – RAMALLAH, PALESTINE/ WASHINGTON DC – Mixed Media

December First Friday is around the bend. I am so excited to exhibit at Marmot Art Space in Kendall Yards ! I’ve shown all over the world, including London, New York, Cairo, Paris, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, Dallas, Denver, San Francisco, Ramallah, Brighton, Amman, Doha, Delhi, Rome, etc. Now I will add Spokane to the list. See you Friday, December 6th. Doors open officially at 5pm!

WHO: Manal is the Resident Artist at Workhouse Arts Center in Virginia. She’s shown all over the world, including London, New York, Cairo, Paris, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, Ramallah, Brighton, Delhi, Rome, etc.

MORE: Manal has been interviewed by many US and international journals, magazines & TV channels. Art critic Mark Jensen in the Washington Post: Manal Deeb “superimposes photographs, calligraphy and fabric patterns on her face, constructing a visual metaphor for how women’s identities are overlaid with societal expectations and political circumstances,” blending realism and abstraction. This will be her debut in the Pacific Northwest. 

WHAT ELSE: We’ll also show work from Legendary Painter Alfredo Arreguin (who has work in The Smithsonian), Professor Emeritus Ruben Trejo (who also has work in the Smithsonian), art professors Gordon Wilson, Rob Fifield, and Rob McKirdie, Michael Dinning, Karen Mobley, Jim Dhillon, Oregon artist Shelli Walters, local legend Ric Gendron, and beloved local artist Melissa Cole.

WHEN:First Friday, December 6th, 5-8pm.

WHERE: First Friday in Kendall Yards happens throughout the Kendall Yards Business District, but has always been centered at Marmot Art Space (1202 Summit Pkwy, in Adams Alley, right across the alley from Craftsman Cellars and 3Ninjas).

WHY ATTEND:It’s another amazing art party in Kendall Yards! This is the best night of each month, a great opportunity to get out of the house and visit with your neighbors in Spokane’s most exciting neighborhood. Come for the art, stay for the food and drink! Or vice versa. You choose – either way you’ll have a great time!
