As usual, our wonderful artists will be seated around the gallery in the 2nd St room, painting, drawing, or whatever other medium they choose to employ. The difference for this Sketch Tuesday is that we will also be doing a little fundraiser for Amandalynn in the Zappa room. She recently had an accident that did considerable damage to her hip, so a bunch of artists are donating work for you to buy and support her in her recovery!

111 Minna Gallery is excited to invite you to our latest art exhibition curated by legendary owner and founder of Seventh Son Tattoo founder – Luke Stewart. Read his invite and show explanation below:
Seventh Son Tattoo is hosting ‘Year of the Tiger,’ a collective exhibit featuring tiger-themed artwork by prominent artists both locally and internationally opening at 111 Minna on the final day of the year of the tiger – January 21st 2023. 2022 was the year of the water tiger under the Chinese zodiac, an auspicious year that comes only every 60 years. The tiger image has long been a popular and iconic symbol in tattoo culture. Its meanings can vary greatly depending on the origin; it is often a symbol of strength, courage, and fearlessness, and when depicted alongside a dragon, the tiger embodies earth while the dragon symbolizes heaven —representing the binary of yin and yang, respectively. In Japanese lore, the white tiger specifically is a sacred animal known as Byakko, one of 4 beasts worshipped as divine guardians. Full of a rich history of mythology, lore and deeply rooted symbolism, the tiger has thus been a popular motif in flash designs for decades, and has become somewhat of a mascot for tattoo culture. ‘Year of the Tiger’ is a collection of the featured artists’ ideas and expressions of the ubiquitous tiger. By centering all of the works on such a familiar image, the artists have the opportunity to give it new life; whether it is translating it into tattoo designs, or creative interpretations of the tiger that are uniquely born from the imagination of each individual. This is the 3rd art exhibit curated by Seventh Son centered around an animal of the zodiac; coming off the coattails of the collective challenges of the last few years, from the pandemic to the divisive political climate both at home and abroad, we hope this show will bring members of the community together for a fun night of nothing…but…tigers!
