In early 2018, Flame co-curated the art installation Black Imagination at Core Gallery in Seattle. She had her first solo exhibit in 2019 with a project entitled ::intrigue:: 8, a multimedia installation that featured musical compositions inspired by the text of 8 different poets with original video content as well as text from the original poems, through Jack Straw Production's Artist Support and New Media Gallery fellowships.

Reggie Garrett has been performing throughout the U.S. and Canada for a number of years. Based in Seattle, Washington he performs mostly original songs mixed with pop covers and more traditional style folk ballads. He is the purveyor of a unique urban strain of (mostly) acoustic music incorporating a number of diverse influences, including: Folk, Latin rhythms, Blues, Gospel, Celtic, Rock, Jazz and more. The result is a musical blend that has excited and touched audiences throughout the U.S. and Canada. The sound has strong rhythmic underpinnings, beginning with Garrett’s almost percussive guitar style. The guitar work spans the gamut from Folk/Latin/Blues rhythms to even more personal styles. His singing reflects the folk/ rock/gospel traditions with which he grew up. He has been compared to acoustic legends Richie Havens and Bill Withers by the national folk publication Dirty Linen. As a songwriter Garrett’s specialty is creating and enhancing a mood. He is the founder of Reggie Garrett & the SnakeOil Peddlers (his performing ensemble). The band travel and perform regularly as an acoustic trio (including Richard Middleton on lead guitar and Will Dowd on percussion) and as an acoustic/electric quartet with the addition of bassist Keith Lowe. More recently, Reggie has teamed up with cellist Christine Gunn in an acoustic duo that takes his music in new directions. From Pistol River, OR to Rock Island, IL; from Duncan, BC Canada to San Luis Obispo, Reggie has delighted audiences of all ages. In addition to a history of fine live performances, Reggie Garrett has six CD releases to his credit. “Welcome to My World”, “Time Stands Still”, “Seasons” and “Something New” (his most recent release) were all recorded with his SnakeOil Peddlers ensembles. “Kates Front Porch” was his debut release as half of the Garrett & Westcott acoustic duo. All have been favorably received. “York’s Lament” in particular has been favorably received, climbing to #5 on the NACC Folk music radio chart (Feb 2023).. Reggie Garrett & the SnakeOil Peddlers are listed in the 4-Culture Touring Arts Roster.
