Marc Wise wants people to walk the walk.
That would be the Everett Art Walk, which starts up again this weekend and showcases 10 galleries in the greater Everett area.
Wise, one of the owners of WiseDesignz on Wetmore, has been a vocal promoter of the Everett Art Walk, a free event that he said keeps the town vibrant.
Claudia Postema is one of the featured artists on the art walk.
Postema is known for her larger-than-life florals. She works in watercolors and mixed-media collage. Her work is on display in “Morph Into Expression.” Visitors on the art walk can meet Postema during a reception from 4 to 7 p.m. Saturday at WiseDesignz, 2908 Wetmore Ave., Everett.
For a complete list of other galleries and studios open during Saturday’s art walk, which runs from 4 to 7 p.m., go to www.everettartwalk.org.
Carving out a niche: Though not an American Indian himself, carver Richard Brown is so skilled at his craft that he has mentored young native wood carvers.
Brown’s carvings are featured in “A Tribute to Pacific Northwest Native Art and other Cultural Influences by Richard Brown” at the Edmonds Museum.
Many of the pieces featured are classic examples of Pacific Northwest native art, including 8-foot story poles, as well as many smaller pipes and pendants.
Also on display will be an eclectic collection of carvings including a fully detailed Viking ship, art deco hair combs and ornately carved walking staffs.
The exhibit opens Saturday and ends Oct. 31 at the Edmonds Museum, 118 Fifth Ave. N., Edmonds. For more information go to www.historicedmonds.org.
Spring in Skagit County means the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival and art. Lots of art.
Some of that Tulip Festival art is on display at Art at the Schoolhouse.
The Stanwood Camano Arts Guild showcases the works of more than 20 artists in the 1888 Meadow Schoolhouse at Christianson’s Nursery. Visitors can not only see the art but experience a one-room schoolhouse from a bygone era.
Light refreshments will be served during a free open house from 6 to 7:30 tonight in the nursery’s Propagation House, 15806 Best Road, Mount Vernon.
Arlington artist Rocky Barrick, whose work has appeared in numerous publications, including National Wildlife Magazine, returns this year displaying his acrylic and pencil sketches.
