Earth Day: West Seattle artist Russ Morgan’s ‘upcycled’ creations

| West Seattle news | West Seattle people | WS culture/arts

Last night’s Evening Magazine featured the creations of West Seattle “upcycle” artist Russ Morgan, as you’ll see if you watch the KING 5 clip above. And not only was it timely since today is Earth Day – also turns out he’s having a reception today at Hotel Monaco downtown (1101 4th Avenue, 4-6 pm – you’re invited!), according to proud sister Wendy Morgan (also a West Seattleite), who tipped us to the story and the reception. Find out more about Russ’s art at justarumor.com. P.S. Wendy tells us that in West Seattle, his work is available at Capers in The Junction.

Please note that this is not a reception but a celebration of Earth Day and Russ Morgan will be present. Wine is only available to guests of the Hotel Monaco. Thanks! Russ

Sorry – your sister’s note described it as an “artist reception”; I couldn’t find it described elsewhere online so I had to go with that. Have fun! – TR

I met Russ at Capers when he was hanging them over there a few weeks ago. I have my eye on one of them for the entry way of my townhome! I saw on the Nate Berkus show recently that using a chandelier in your entryway is a way to punch of a small foyer.

Sorry, comment time is over.
