PUNCH
Gallery
PUNCH was founded in March 2006
by a group of artists eager to participate in the dynamic cultural
exchange resulting from the emergence of other artist-run galleries
in Seattle. PUNCH seeks to exhibit
work that is honest, thoughtful, vocal, fearless, and fresh.
Applauding individual expression, the gallery’s primary
mission is to provide support and encouragement for artists
to create and exhibit their work in an atmosphere free from
the constraints of commercialism. Committed to excellence on
every level, PUNCH promotes the
visual arts as a necessary, valid, and worthwhile contribution
to Seattle’s cultural growth.
PUNCH maintains excitement in
its exhibition schedule with a revolving roster of contributing
member artists, guest artists, and curated group shows. Working
in diverse mediums, founding members Renee Adams (sculpture),
Howard Barlow (sculpture and mixed-media), Justin Beckman (digital
media, video, and installation), Justin Gibbens (drawing and sculpture),
and Joanna Thomas (collage) are dedicated to presenting works
of innovative vitality, provocative edge, and potent content.
Additional member artists currently include Carey Denniston (photo-based media), Nathan DiPietro
(painting), Patricia Hagen (painting),
Sol Hashemi (multi-media),
Jason Hirata (photo-based media and video), Ries Niemi (sculpture and
mixed media), and Eugene Parnell (sculpture).
PUNCH Gallery operates under the guidance of a five-member board
of directors. |
