ABOUT THE EXHIBIT

'BEING EDGY' ~ PERSPECTIVES ON DEATH, DYING, LOSS & LIVING
A Collaborative Art Exhibit and Musical Offerings featuring over 30 local artists at Olympia Fall Arts Walk - plus extra events on October 5 at two adjacent venues (111 Cherry St. and 520 4th Ave)

Returning this year to Arts Walk, Death Dancer will be opening up conversations once again around death and grief, but this time showcasing the work of over 30 artists from the Olympia area. Each piece of art will aim to stimulate conversation about this important topic and inspire deeper thinking and contemplation to help us prepare for it better.

Thanks for your support and we hope to see you there!
