Summer fun with art can be had from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 19, when the Third Thursday Art Walk rolls out out an evening of art in downtown Edmonds.

Live music, as well as artist demonstrations, are becoming an integral part of the art walk experience. This month, hear Charlie Spring play guitar and sing his songs at Joan Longstaff’s space on upper Main Street. The MarCher Minstrals rove through town singing old-time favorites and invite sing alongs. Newcomer to Edmonds, Laura, holds court with her voice near Gallery North and Gallagher’s at 5th and Dayton. Finally, local string trio Tangerine is hosted by the Edmonds Conference Center.

Artists will be demonstrating techniques at several venues this month. Darlene Gentry Lucas will be featured in the Old Milltown lobby near Ambience, as she displays her intricate hatching and cross-hatching that leads to depths of color and texture. Charlotte Jackson of Gallery North demonstrates her style with flowers, as inspired by her rambunctious garden. At Aria Gallery, Denise Cole and Joan Archer will be working on new works during the art walk.

Other highlights include photography at several locations. Dinah Satterwhite’s hand-colored photos can be seen at Akadea. Wendy Fagan’s riotous floral photos catch the eye at Arista Wine Cellars. Elaine Mattson’s world travels are captured on film at the Edmonds Bookshop. Laura Reidt’s evocative still life photos capture the imagination at Gallagher’s Where-U-Brew.

Photographer Vadim Kin finds beauty in nature and highlights its texture on film. See his work at the Edmonds Conference Floral Center along with two painters including Bryan Briscoe, whose watercolors are contemporary in style with traditional subjects. Becky Kosuge’s figurative oils capture thoughtful moods of her subjects with excellent skill. All this art in one location is aided by the ambient tones of local string trio, Tangerine.

An array of paintings await at other locations. See Ruth Hesse and her new works in monotype and print making at C’est la Vie. At Coldwell Banker, Pam Parker’s dual careers of horse trainer and artist merge into paintings that include her compassion for animals. Sid Carden’s lively acrylics are at Housewares. Miriam Drake’s variety in oil painting is at Joan Longstaff and Associates. A new series called “Northwest Reflections” by Kathy Collins captures our local waterways. See and meet her at Kindred Circle Art Gallery. Meet Joan Reeves at Main Street Gallery and see why she won “Best of Edmonds” at the arts festival this year. Don’t miss Patty Forte Linna’s pastels at Olives Gourmet Foods.

Other media offer great variety too. Don’t miss out on a great opportunity to see the unusual and intricate blown glass by Northwest phenomenon, Dan Bergsma, hosted by Luminosity, along 4th Avenue South. In honor of the Edmonds Fire Department’s 100th anniversary celebration, Coldwell Banker hosts an array of memorabilia, as well as a quilt by local quilter, Betty Mueller. Lili Hall, owner of Garden Gear, has a trunk show at the Muse where her entire collection of unique sterling and gemstone jewelry will be on display. At Salon Pena, meet Dawn Rieck and view her quality functional pottery.
