Artist Talks & Tours: John Grade & Megan Murphy

6 p.m. Lecture; 6:45 p.m. Tour
Join Seattle artist John Grade--the winner of the prestigious $10,000 Arlene Schnitzer Prize--and Contemporary Northwest Art Award recipient Megan Murphy as they talk about their work and lead a tour of the exhibition.
A longtime Northwest resident, Grade has traveled extensively and his exposure to diverse cultures has deeply shaped his artistic vision. The land, and its propensity for change, has had a profound effect on his work. His often massive, site-related constructions involve the passage of time and performance while engaging natural elements and random change to ultimately complete his sculptural works.
$5 members; $12 non-members. Space is limited to the first 45 ticket holders. Advance tickets available online and on site.

This month, the Northwest Film Center welcomes two of the most accomplished names in contemporary cinema, filmmaker Todd Haynes and producer Christine Vachon, to the Whitsell Auditorium. Portland resident and Hollywood heavyweight, Haynes has been hailed as one of cinema's most eloquent voices with a unique body of work including Safe (1995), Velvet Goldmine (1998), Far From Heaven (2002), I'm Not There (2007), and, most recently, the HBO miniseries Mildred Pierce (2011). In addition to producing all of Haynes' feature work, Vachon's producing résumé includes such diverse films as Happiness (Todd Solondz, 1998), Boys Don't Cry (Kimberly Peirce, 1999), and The Company (Robert Altman, 2003). Together, Haynes and Vachon will discuss their work and converse with the audience about the intersections of art, commerce, and collaboration in the world of independent film.
On Saturday, July 23, the Film Center screens Todd Haynes' Mildred Pierce in its entirety. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit nwfilm.org.
