The night of Friday, Nov 4th saw the official opening of Premium Camping At No Charge, a collaborative installation show with Blaine Fontana at Evo Art Space in Seattle. The show was an event for Arbor Snowboards, to showcase the skate and snow decks we have both done for Arbor over the years as well as create a fun event and party space.

The show will be up until December 3rd at Evo Art Space, 112 NW 36th Ave, Seattle, Washington.

The Arbor Collective Presents:

“Premium Camping At No Charge”
A Collaboration Installation by Blaine Fontana & Zach Johnsen

Hosted by Evo Times Infinity Gallery
Reception:
Friday, November 4th 6 – 9pm
122 NW 36th Ave St., Seattle WA 98107
*show will remain open for 1 month

Arbor celebrates long time art & design contributors Blaine Fontana & Zach Johnsen in a night of art, up-cycling, book signings, frivolity & a furious passion for reclaimed materials for an imaginative environmental experience. Collaborating with Arbor, the artists are echoing the company’s rooted practice using sustainable materials for all their products. The entire show is comprised of all reclaimed, recycled, or repurposed wood/media, only 2 sheets of plywood were bought to create this highly involved, rich and detailed dreamy “Camp Fire” scene.

We look forward to see all our friends and fans at the event. Please spread the word.

Cheers.
Zach, Blaine & the Arbor Collective

My solo exhibition at Backwoods Gallery opens Feb 18th! I am preparing all the artwork for shipping as well as preparing for my trip to attend the exhibition in person.  Before I left, I thought I would post a couple more images of the process.

In addition, the blog Curbs & Stoops posted a nice feature on the show.
