This upcoming week is my birthday and I want all of my readers to help me celebrate!
To kick-off birthday week on Kristinpotpie I have two tickets to give away for a fun event at the Bellevue Art Museum.
This Friday, August 17th, from 8-11pm, BAM is hosting its BAMignite – an after-hours event fusing the Museum’s latest exhibitions with music, performance art and interactive experiences.
You and a guest will “funk out” on BAM’s new rooftop sculpture garden while you enjoy:
Exhibits: The Bold Expressions & Shakers exhibits currently on display are full of beautiful textiles, colors, shapes and designs that appeal to the fashion, design and arts crowds alike.
Music: Live music by Marmalade, Seattle’s legendary funk & soul collective, as well as funk, soul, hip hop and world music presented by KEXP DJs Darek Mazzone and Chilly.
Performance Art: Contemporary African dance & percussion by Gansango and spoken word performances by Marita Isabel & okanomode.
Interactive Experiences: Such as Be a Curator! Bring an object you love, share its story and help curate an impromptu community exhibit.
And so much more!
The winner is also invited to the pre-Ignite exclusive Member Celebration from 6:30-8 pm. Come early, mingle, meet artists and curators, and enjoy complimentary hors d’oeuvres! Cash bar.

I love to be with friends and family on my birthday, treat myself to some spa services, and of course, eat a HUGE slice of cake
Sounds like a fantastic way to spend your special day! Especially the cake!!!!
On my birthday I like to go to a city I’ve never been before!
What a great idea Alex! If one did that every year, think of all the places you’d have visited in a lifetime!
Since my birthday is near Christmas, I like to have people over for a Yankee Swap and then EVERYONE gets presents!
. (happy birthday to you!)
Thank you Audrey! Sounds like a great way to share your birthday joy! Congratulations on winning the BAMignite tickets! Hope you have a blast!
I love watching some silly movie and going for dinner with my friends and sometimes dancing!
