This is a great article. Thanks for writing it.

Check out that O Face.

When will the exhibit make another trip into Seattle?

Awesome stuff.

When I saw the exhibit there were two people in our group who were perfectly sighted but in wheelchairs. They had a really frustrating time getting anywhere near the art, and people were practically climbing over them to get past (it was really crowded, and everybody's looking up).

@2, never. When the Musee Picasso finishes renovations in 2012 all this stuff goes back in there for the next hundred years. It's very unusual for a collection like this to make a tour, and there's no chance it will ever come back. Open until midnight.

Fascinating!

Damn. Then I need to go.

nicely written, jen

Pat Copeland is a wonderful woman. Thanks for sharing this story Jen.

I've been on two of the tours as a volunteer--Roman art and the first Picasso tour--and have found the docents excellent. They specialize and bring a wealth of descriptive and of background information for our groups. I am proud to have Patt Copeland and her huband Tony Brown in our Captiol Hill Lions Club and I enjoy watching the goalball practices and helping grill the burgers and wieners at the annual blind community picnic at Seward Park. Patt and Tony work tirelessly for the blind. Another great activity is the Fifth Avenue show, a matinee at which the
clients get earphones that describe the scene while they hear the
music It's great to hang out with these guys!
