Elite Talent Event @ EM Fine Art Gallery

Great event! Thanks Katy for organizing this.
Unilocalers are not only professional eaters, but also artists. Talent show from from painting, drawing, photography, music, to burlesque and many, it was really an eye-​open experience! I loved how we can draw/​paint something on the wall when we walked in. Pizza, beer, wine, and baked goods were so delicious.
I personally think this is a meaningful event for Unilocalers to show off their talents.

Always enjoy Unilocal events! It was really cool to see what some fellow Unilocalers have their sleeves, art-​wise, and it was cool to try some of the different foods. My friend and I had eaten already so I was too full for a piece of pizza (which now sounds like that was a really bad decision) but I did try a little bite of cake from Wheatless in Seattle that was pretty darn good for being gluten free.
I really liked the idea of the art wall at the entrance! Despite not being very capable of drawing, it was cool to put my own little flair for all to remember. :)
Thanks Katy for another great event!

This event was perhaps one of the best events that I have attended. Kudos to Katy H for the awesome show and for promoting the talent of local Unilocalers.
All of the artists that showcased their goods have a lot of courage to share their gifts with us Unilocalers. Thank you so much for doing so because it might have inspired other Unilocalers to share their talents too! I absolutely loved the Peach Lasagna… I never heard of it and now I have!
Again, thanks to Katy for organizing the event. It was an overall superb way to support local Seattle-​rooted businesses, artists, performers, cooks, etc. Even better, it supported our very own Unilocal community. Until the next event…

Another great Elite event! Maybe the best I’ve been to in fact, so congrats again to Katy H! So much cool stuff going on that I quickly got over the somewhat balmy temperature inside as things heated up with the live performances. Great art (really good stuff Unilocalers!) burlesque, live music, dance exhibitions, free beer & pizza… what a night!

KIKI — I LOVED YOUR BURLESQUE ROUTINE!
Despite the fact that the gallery was like being in a sauna, it was great to see fellow Unilocalers get their talent on!
And a great space to do it — loved it!
Thanks again Katy — you’ve done it again!

What a cool space. If I ever put on an event I will certainly consider this
gallery. Good location, nice layout, decent size!
Loved the entertainment from our community members, what a fun idea!
I really enjoyed meeting people as I handed out my cookies. Thanks Katy for letting me participate! Hope you all enjoyed them :)

Pizza, beer, baked goods, Unilocaler art and performances, burlesque beauties (fabulous job, ladies) — is there anything better? I had no idea this was such a talented community and it was wonderful to see all the creative output. Many thanks to EM Gallery for hosting, and to Katy H for putting together such a great event!

«Who Arted» is hands down my favorite Unilocal EE. Ok so I have only been to three but I was very impressed with everything. It was wonderful to see how many talented Unilocalers contributed their works, ranging from art work to burlesque and singing. The food was great especially that peach-​mushroom lasagna… whowuddathunk those two went nicely together? Oh and of course you cannot forget the free booze! Unfortunately I did not drink much since I was DD and was driving a zipcar for the first time in MONTHS. But that’s ok, I still had so much fun being there.
So art + music + food + booze = perfect environment to schmooze with old and new faces. I was so happy to be able to even receive great advice on how to get my artwork out in the community… meaning its time to stop slacking off on painting.
Again, amazing job Katy H! I hope there can be future events allowing Unilocalers in the community to share their talents.

Fantastic job to Katy, all of the entertainment, all of the artists, and everyone who lent a helping hand!
The fans were genius. I was very thankful that, although the gallery was hot (even when burlesque WASN’T going on!), I was able to easily cool myself down and/​or quickly step outside for some fresh air. I did appreciate the location of the gallery – not too far from Seattle-​life, but far enough away from congestion, traffic, and no parking.
It was great to see all of the Unilocal-​art on the walls, listen to Unilocal-​music, and see Unilocal-​burlesque – we got some talented people here! Food, wine/​beer, and Unilocal-​company was fantastic as always and I had a blast.
Can’t wait until the next event!
PS to Katy – what are you doing with that Unilocal-​Painting? :)

I can’t believe how talented my fellow Unilocalers are! I was impressed, and really glad I didn’t submit that 5^th grade scribble drawing. The space was great and the food/​booze were tasty. Thanks for a great event, Katy H!

I have so much love for Razzi’s. There vegan pizza and vegan caesar salad are possibly my current favorite foods on this earth. I admit I went 3 times prior to the Unilocal event in the last month, but I was so excited to see them there. Of course I also loved the vegan cake. As you can see I am easily entertained by vegan options. Okay away from the food the venue was great., loved the upstairs area and being able to look down on everyone. I also got to bring two friends who had never been to a Unilocal event and they were very excited to see what it was all about. My one friend particularly enjoyed being able to create her own art. We all wished we had talent and had a fun night out. Thanks for everything.

This was my first Seattle Unilocal elite event! Who knew there was SO much talent in the Unilocal elite community. amazing! From museum-​level artwork decking the walls to very sexy burlesque to flawless ballroom dancing to scrumptious home-​made chocolate hazelnut cookies, the talent was flowing all around.
Thanks to EM art gallery for hosting! And special thanks for the very tasty Razzi’s pizza, salad and vegan peach mushroom lasagna. Great wine and beer too. Very well organized event!
Extra kudos to Katy, who not only planned a phenomenal event, but also had some of her own artwork donning the walls.
I look forward to seeing you all at the next event!

It was nice to see such a good crowd. Nice art on display (both on the walls, in my ears with music, on the dance floor…). I can’t wait to use my free dance lesson coupon.
It was warm, but not ridiculous. There was so much food, but unfortunately I filled up completely beforehand and only had room for one nibble. What I had was yummy, though.
This is my first Seattle Elite event since moving here, so hopefully I will meet more people and be less shy at the next event because this was definitely well-​planned.

As someone with little-​to-​no artistic talent (unless excel charts count) I’m always impressed by others that have talent. Especially if they’re willing to show off in public. There were paintings, music, burlesque and even ballroom dancing — nice work Unilocal community.
Plus it was great to catch up with so many other great Unilocalers since I don’t make it to every Unilocal/​EE event.
Oh — and I know this wasn’t art by Unilocalers, but the gallery had a couple pieces that had actual human blood (not True Blood) mixed in with the paint. Eek! Creepy!
Cool space too, but not literally, it was hot. The little fans they handed out were great. Otherwise I would have melted.

Does Katy H know how to throw a party, or what!
This was such a fun event and it was so cool to see just how talented our fellow Unilocalers are from paintings and photos to dancing and singing. Everyone that attended seemed to have a great time and there was lots of mingling going on by old friends catching up and people meeting each other in person for the first time. The vibe here was great for socializing and the venue was perfect for the amount of people that were there.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to try any of the foods that were provided but the pizzas, desserts, salads, and baked goods all looked pretty delicious and I will especially be making a trip to Razzi’s for some of their pizza real soon. UYE anyone?!
Thank you to Katy for putting on yet another top notch elite event and also thank you to Amanda and Roland of EM Fine Art Gallery for providing such a great venue for us to get together and have a great time.

Amanda and Roland (owners) of EM Fine Art Gallery have such a fantastic & spacious area to host events. This was another wonderful YEE.
It was great to see all the Unilocalers donated their work of art, talents, photography and music to this event.
Plenty of goodies, swag, wine, beer, desserts, and pizza.
I most enjoyed the burlesque show from Kiki and Marissa! :D Also, love the photography from Vanessa J, Vicki I’s sketches, the paintings from Glory H, Samantha G, and our very own CM Katy H. Who knew so many of our Unilocalers were so talented?
Even though I didn’t have any talent or art to donate to this event (my talent is good sex), I was honor to be ask by helping supply bottle water for this event. Thank you Inna, Marc, and Jorge for helping out at this event.
This was the perfect venue to mingle with new and old Unilocalers who I met or haven’t met yet. Thank you for the Unilocal fans because we actually had a very hot sunny evening in Seattle and we NEEDED them badly. *fans*
Big props to Katyface for another kickass party and all who made this event so much fun!

Great event. Lots of little surprises, from the sweet swag (bomb 80s looking Casio type watches branded with « Unilocal Elite» have mercy!) to the little nummy treats, booze, and random talent… I loved every second! The burlesque was pretty sweet (props to those ballsy ladies) and I want some of Katy H’s art, it was great!
OK let’s not forget the karaōke rendition of Madonna’s «Live to Tell» that I loved. Go girl!
More Elite events! More, more more!

Fun event… Katy plans good shiet

What a blast! Thanks all for being such a great audience! I speak for my band, Altin Jimbiz, when I say that we really enjoyed playing for you, eating your food, looking at the amazing art, and experiencing your talents!
Hope to see you at our next show!

This space had affordable art and a very nice owner. She brought me water from her personal fridge when all that was offered to drink at the Unilocal Elite event was alcohol.
I was embarrassed that when she was trying to speak to everyone they weren’t listening… but anyway… back to the space.
It would be a fun place for a silent auction or charity event.
It has an upstairs and downstairs and the back leads to the alley which is a good place to get air on a hot night… the space gets quite warm with lots of people in it.
The sound this evening was difficult to hear and the performances without a raised platform were difficult to see… so if you’re having a larger wedding here or if you’re a band playing here… make sure you have a platform so your guests can see you… also. maybe the sound could be multiple speakers throughout the venue so that even people upstairs and in the front hear what is being said in the main space.
Mostly I was touched by the personal introduction and understanding I received from the host.
