Window shop for art

Go window shopping for art in downtown Everett. Six local artists will be working in “studios,” actually storefronts, along Colby, Hewitt and Wetmore all summer long as part of the Arts Council of Snohomish County’s Art in Great Spaces program.

Look for sandwich boards on the sidewalks and check out artists in action. Their art will be available for sale, too.

The sessions are on Tuesdays through Saturdays from now until Sept. 30.

See The Herald’s A&E section on Friday for more about the program and the artists involved.
