Shortly after The Fold launched in July, friend and owner Seattle's Ghost Gallery, Laurie Kearney, reached out to ask if I would be interested in co-curating an exhibit at her space highlighting art and artists from the site. I immediately said "yes," as sharing the talents of anyone who makes The Fold possible is one of my greatest pleasures.

Last week The Fold Exhibit opened to the public. If located in or visiting Seattle, you can view the works of Hardie Cobbs, Rachel Demy, Rosie Bowker and Teresa Grasseschi at the Ghost Gallery through November 11.

All pieces may also be purchased directly from the gallery via their website, so whether you've been eyeing the whimsical watercolors in our monthly astrology column or admiring a particular one of the vibrant collages that accompanies our Music or Motherhood posts, you can now bring these special pieces into your home. Below are just a few of our favorites...

Dear Scorpio: You may feel a little antsy this month. You have tasks, plans, ideas, and missions - but every time you get ready to set off, you also realize you need one more thing. The universe is trying to tell you that the time for action is close, but it's not quite here. Instead of cursing the constant glitches, pay attention to the message

"I will say at the intersection of being a woman and black, the amount of expectation and exceptionalism—we should not be burning ourselves out. Folks expect that, but we can reject that—we can say no and take care of ourselves better. I am still working on this, in a collective in activism, you don’t have to hold everything. We have been trying to build that in the campaign."
