A PerMANENT GLIMPSE by anton Lvovich
April 4 - May 25, 2025
Artist Reception Sat, april 12
2 - 8 pm, artist talk at 5pm
A Permanent Glimpse brings together paintings and sculptures from the past and the present that center around materiality, temporality, and form. The works included in this show capture and inform the image and motifs at play in a continual state of flow. Exploring moments of this trajectory, and the process therein, they project the vision, cemented in time if only but for a brief moment. The permanence resides between the glimpse and the impermanence, becoming a memory. Our exercise: to begin to see again, to become more fully aware of the present. How can we shift our perspectives and free our perception in a short period of time?
Mission
Mini Mart City Park is a place for the arts, education, environmental action, and community collaboration in the Duwamish Valley.
Vision
After more than 15 years of planning, environmental work, and construction, MMCP transformed a neighborhood brownfield and former gas station, in the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle, into a cultural center and pocket park that officially opened to the public in 2022.
Our work is rooted in the belief that it is vital to create community hubs for people to build power and a voice in decisions being made to develop their neighborhoods. Today, MMCP serves as an artist-designed, community-led space advocating for creativity and public health through art exhibits, residencies, education, environmental action, and locally-focused programming in the Lower Duwamish Valley, now and for decades to come.

History & Future
In 2005 SuttonBeresCuller had a vision to identify and purchase a property in King County and rehabilitate it, proving the potential of art to propel a project that simultaneously repairs damaged land while providing shared, multi-use community space.
In 2008, we identified the Mini Mart City Park site and began environmental assessment work. In 2013, SuttonBeresCuller formed the Mini Mart City Park 501(c)3, which purchased the site.
With the support and engagement of the Georgetown community, Mini Mart City Park is now open to the public . Working with goCstudio we have developed a design for a pocket park and arts-oriented community center.
Incorporating sliding walls and a green roof to create a porous, modular space that blends indoor and outdoor activities such as gallery shows, movies in the park, potlucks, community meetings, readings and live music, Mini Mart City Park embraces the site's history, bring communities together to dream up their futures, and literally clean earth with art.
