The winner, who usually gets $11,000 (it can vary), will be announced Sept. 26, followed by a ceremony and reception at the Seattle Asian Art Museum on Oct. 26 from 6-8 pm (admission free). Last year’s winner was the Portland artist Marie Watt.

In other news, Scott Lawrimore has picked up two more artists that we know of for Lawrimore Project. One is Susan Robb, 2003 Stranger Genius winner.

The other is Susie J. Lee, standout grad of the UW MFA program this year. (Her fellow grad Tivon Rice is already in Lawrimore’s stable.)

Drew Daly's chair is the most stunning thing I've seen in a long while.

All that art looks like boring conceptual crap. Please take all your important Manhattan friends to see it. Anything to keep you people distracted for a few minutes before you do more damage to our city.
