Q-Seattle Events: Tacky Tourist Clubs

We've mentioned a couple of other art exhibits that open this month, but one that looks to us like it belongs at the top of any intinerary is Queer Eyes 3, a photography exhibit that opens June 10 at Art/Not Terminal gallery at 2045 Westlake Ave [get directions].

A group of 12 notable local photographers will be showing their work at the in the "Subterranean Room" of the gallery. The exhibit runs through July 3 and features a special "Pride Reception" on Saturday, June 23 from 7 to 10 pm.

The third annual exhibition of photographs by members of Image Collective, a group of amateur and professional gay male photographers from the Seattle area. More than just a way to spotlight the work of the individual artists, the show is a celebration of people, places and perspectives as seen, collectively, "through queer eyes".

The works of the twelve participating artists, which range from the blatantly erotic to the esoteric, will be shown together for one month only in a unique blending of personal styles and subject matter.

We offer here just a hint of what you'll see with two stunning images by Andrew Caldwell. (Who, by the way, shot the still popular publicity stills for last year's Queen City Cruise.)

Several more examples from the other photographers can be seen on the bio page of the exhibit website which includes links to the websites of several of the photographers.

Update: Because the model, unfortunately, had second thoughts about displaying the wonderful images, we had to remove a couple of the example shots from this post. Don't worry though -- there's still plenty of wonderful images to see in the show.
