Tiki Art Now volume 3 opens at Roq la Rue gallery, Seattle on Sept 
15, 6 pm - 9 pm
After party at Lava Lounge from 10 pm to midnight

As usual it features the top artists creating Tiki art today

We will also be premiering rarely seen black velvet paintings by 
Burke Tyree formerly of Modesto, CA
Ralph "Burke" Tyree is a relatively unrecognized master of velvet 
painting who arguably surpassed Leeteg in technique and originality 
of composition. The exhibit at Roq la Rue will show seven of his 
pieces but only one will be for sale. If you are interested please 
contact the gallery at
kirsten@roqlarue.com

Also available opening night will be a super limited edition Munktiki 
mug designed specifically for this event.
This Tiki totem mug is available in lava black or traditional wooden 
color and will be limited to two per person. It is not available via 
mailorder. Photo of the mug will be up on the gallery's website one 
week prior to opening of the show

In addition to the art,
Dionysus recording artist and Tiki Oasis alumni Lushy will play a set at 7 pm
Seattle's own Selector Lopaka, also a Tiki Oasis alumni, will provide 
a continuous live Exotica soundtrack spinning a vintage and 
contemporary vinyl mix.

DJ Dave Rauschenberg will bust a move at the afterparty at the Lava 
Lounge from 9 pm til midnight
(DJ set starts at 10)
There will be drink specials, snacks, and another opportunity to get 
your catalog signed by the authors - Larry Reid & Otto von Stroheim -
