In a juried art show presented by the Mukilteo Arts Guild, dozens of artists are represented for three days during the festival, helping to fill Mukilteo Lighthouse Park with works as diverse as a beach full of driftwood.
Visitors will see wooden toys by Jason and Meg Rounds, decorative kites by Chris and Dennis Handel, a variety of jewelry, paintings and glass creations along with garden art from Garden Garbage owned by Krista Bossio and Stephanie Berg, and wearable art such as headgear from Golden Goose Hats, owned by Linda and Anthony Mestrovich.
The juried artists booths will be set up from 3 to 7 p.m. today, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday at Mukilteo Lighthouse Park, 609 Front St., Mukilteo.

Exploring memory: Seattle Art Museum will present about 40 photographs in a 20-year span of Amy Blakemore’s work, ranging from black and whites to recent portraits and landscapes, according to a museum press release.
This exhibition highlights Blakemore’s sense of interrupted or incomplete narrative. Her work is also defined in part by her use of low-tech cameras with limited range of focus. Her use of such idiosyncratic tools can bring a number of unpredictable irregularities to her compositions, the press release said.
The exhibit is up through Feb. 13 at Seattle Art Museum, 1300 First Ave.
