The “Spirit of the West” art show and sale brings together more than 100 works by seven Northwest artists noted for their art of wildlife, western scenes and American Indian themes.
The show, set for 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, is in the Recreation Hall in downtown Coupeville on Whidbey Island.
The show is one in a series by these artists; a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the art will be donated to the Whidbey Island Hospital Foundation.
The public can meet the artists and see them work during the two-day event. New to this weekend’s show is Bart Rulon, a wildlife artist, photographer and author. Joining him are returning artists Don Enright (wildlife painter); Ed Bennett (bird carver); Gerald Roberts and Penney Lockhart; (American Indian-themed paintings); James Moore (plein air painter); and Joseph Albert (coastal American Indian-style carver).
Bumbershoot arts: Bumbershoot, Seattle’s big Labor Day weekend blowout at the Seattle Center, opens Sept. 3. But visitors can preview the visual arts part of the festival Tuesday through Thursday.
