Inkfish Gallery in Des Moines, Washington, will open an exhibition titled 'Art of the Sixties' on Friday, September 5, 2025, from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. The show, curated by George C. Scott of Inkfish Foundation and Fred Andrews of Des Moines Legacy Foundation with funding from 4Culture of King County, features works from the 1960s encompassing Pop Art, Op Art, Minimalism, Conceptual Art, Hot Rod Art, and Psychedelic Art. Artists highlighted include Andy Warhol, Peter Max, Margaret Keane, Ed 'Big Daddy' Roth, Robert Crumb, and Roy Lichtenstein.
The exhibition matters because it offers a local, community-focused retrospective of a transformative decade in visual art, bringing iconic 1960s movements and artists to a suburban Seattle audience. By partnering with county arts funding and local foundations, the show underscores how regional galleries can preserve and celebrate art history while engaging the public with a nostalgic, participatory experience.
