2009 Explorers Meet at Sisko Gallery Friday, Jun 19 2009 

Our first “field trip” with our 2009 program participants was to Sisko Gallery in Seattle. Gallery owner and artist, John Sisko, hosted us for an evening of light refreshments, good conversations, and a discussion on the bronze-casting process. Sisko, who recently returned from a sojourn to Italy several months earlier, provided insights on techniques, processes and figurative art in general.

Many of us had the opportunity to get together multiple times prior to the program, including two pre-departure seminars and two informal gatherings that included food and bocce! Here are some photos.
