It was a cold and wet artwalk but that didn’t stop the masses from coming out for Pioneer Square’s First Thursday art walk on May 7. The galleries in the Tashiro Kaplan Building provided shelter, a variety of artists and of course food, wine, and in one cases, some PBR. Even some swine (of the friendlier sort) came out.

The Tashiro Kaplan Building was full of people this rainy first Thursday. Zack BentaE™s photographs at Gallery4Culture featured his wife and two small boys, often posed as boy scouts. In one portrait, one small boyaE™s nearly spherical noggin is shown in profile, wearing an elaborate, overdone head bandage. -- Adriana Grant
