Bike-in movies and art

The artist group FICTILIS, which is temporarily working out of Ballard, is hosting a series of movies at their studio/work space at 5608 Seaview Ave NW, along the Burke-Gilman Trail.

The "bike-in" movies are free and open to the public. A bicycle is not actually needed to get in, but it is convenient. Art from FICTILIS will also be on display. Outside of special events such as the bike-in series, the studio is not open to the public.

If you can't make it, you can view their work online at www.fictilis.com.

There are a few screenings left to catch. Movies start at 9 p.m.
