Today’s featured blog comes from the Oliver Family. The Olivers of Capitol Hill are an eclectic bunch: dad Mike fixes antique clocks, mom Carol is working on the 787 for Boeing, son Nigel helps run the local Greenpeace office, and Pete will be a freshman at Nova next year. The youngest girls, Syd and Mary, are just chillin’ out this summer and are excited to be doing such fun art with the rest of their family.
The Olivers have finished all 63 assignments from Miranda July’s Learning to Love You More online art project. The entire collection can be seen at Bumbershoot in the Northwest Rooms, 11 AM – 8 PM daily.
