Celebrate artist and Clallam County Poet Laureate Jaiden Dokken at a reception for their solo exhibition with live music by Whump!
"Love/Rage/Us is an ode to the hot neon glow of the ways we love and rage together for better tomorrows," said Jaiden Dokken. "Come peek at the soft underbelly of the tough stuff, the calloused edges of the good stuff, and all the ways they layer together to create us."
This multimedia show includes poetry, acrylic paintings, ceramic sculptures, and fiber art. Through vibrant colors, pop art styles, and silly, fun, and strange imagery, Dokken's work rejoices friendship, big feelings, and those who are working together to improve the world.
Jaiden Dokken, the first Clallam County Poet Laureate, will end their two-term in March 2025. Please join NOLS to celebrate Dokken's creative works and significant achievements while in the role.
Doors open for the reception at 6:30pm.
Live music by Whump and poetry reading start at 7pm!
Whump is an Olympic Peninsula trio that fuses tight-knit chemistry with an energetic style, traversing funk with jazz fusion and groove based jams. Daniel Csizmadia (vocals, guitar) and Peter Beeler (vocals, drums) began playing music together in 2019. Whump was started in 2023 when the pair jammed with Jason Taylor (vocals, bass).
