Art certainly won’t take a back seat during Mukilteo’s 45th annual Lighthouse Festival.

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.

To honor the Earth on Saturday, Camano Action for a Rural Environment collaborated with artist Karla Matzke to hold an environmental art exhibit at Matzke’s outdoor sculpture park.

Visitors are welcome to this free event, “Camano Honors Earth,” between noon and 7 p.m. Saturday at Matzke Fine Art Gallery and Sculpture Park, 2345 Blanche Way, Camano Island. Art can be seen through Oct. 10.

Fifty artists will participate. Activities for kids are planned, as well as live music, speakers, poetry readings and a session on how to make a rain barrel. For a full schedule of events go to http://camano honorsearth.org/event.aspx.

This year’s Third Annual Art at the Farm at The Plant Farm at Smokey Point will bring artists from Snohomish, Island and Skagit counties together in one botanical location.

Art at the Farm runs from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at The Plant Farm, 15022 Twin Lakes Ave., Marysville.

The artwork includes blown glass, pottery, photography, watercolors, acrylics, oils, pastels, wood work, sculpting, jewelry and stained glass. There will also be live music.

Along with Art at the Farm there’s Art at the Park presented by the Arlington Arts Council this weekend at Legion Park, 114 Olympic Ave., Arlington.

This celebration of the arts goes from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Participating artists include photographers Roberta and her husband, Kent Baker, jewelers Karen Rust and Karin Martin, basketmaker Reggie Kastler, forged metal sculptors Carol and Steve Bryant and dream-catcher creators Dan and Linda Wright.

There will be live music at various times both days.

“12 Months at Admiralty Head” is the latest photo essay by artist Tom Trimbath .

It’s on display through Oct. 1 at Raven Rocks Gallery, 765 Wonn Road, Whidbey Island.

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.
