The newly opened exhibition, 'Out of My Mind – Imaginative Art by Vikram Madan,' at Blakely Hall, presents a vibrant collection of works that blend humor and whimsy, having opened on July 1, 2023. Seattle-based artist and author Vikram Madan aims to rekindle a sense of innocence through his colorful paintings. The gallery showcases between 20 and 30 pieces, some available for purchase, inviting art lovers to enjoy a joyful escape this summer. Although Blakely Hall is closed for children's camps during the summer, the exhibition can be viewed during community events, such as Open Mic & Karaoke Night and the Global Grub & Groove series.

His works are featured in various local shows and exhibitions around Seattle. This exhibition serves as a timely reminder of the importance of art in community life, running from July to September. Attendees can enjoy the light-heartedness of Vikram's art while supporting local culture.
