It’s been a year since the inaugural Edmonds Third Thursday Art Walk invited the community to step out on the town for an evening of art and artists. This month’s event, set for 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday, March 20, counts 16 merchants along the walk route, originating at the fountain roundabout and welcoming visitors in with colorful flags along Fourth, Fifth, Main and Dayton.
The evening not only marks the anniversary of the events’ debut, it also coincides with the return of two familiar faces in the Edmonds art community.
Long time artist collective Gallery North, formerly ensconced in Old Milltown, hosts a grand re-opening reception to introduce their new location in the Dayton Place Building at Fifth and Dayton. Several members will be demonstrating their art while visitors partake of snacks and beverages. The featured artist for the event is watercolorist and gallery president Julie Scandora.
Kindred Circle Art Gallery is the new vision of Manya Schilperoort, former co-owner of Adorn Embellish &Empower and coordinator of the art walk program. Now on Main Street, this is the first month for Kindred Circle to participate in the art walk. Carmen Sherbeck, an 82-year-old watercolorist, will be the gallery’s featured artist. Her most recent paintings feature Mt. Rainier and a fir trees.
Arista Wine Cellars will feature the photography of Nancy Mayes, who combines the camera with computer expertise to result in unusual visuals. Shoreline photographer Michelle Ohge’s “up close and personal” photography can be seen at Decadent Berries. Bonnie Burke will show her colorful tulip photos at the Edmonds Bookshop.
Vicki Weir brings her mixed media paper arts to Memory Lane on Main Street. North of the fountain, the oil paintings of Edmonds resident Darren Rice will be on display at Olives Gourmet Foods. Across the way at Housewares, Tracy Kay Fraker has a showing of her still life images of pears and other fruits.
Look for the rainbow spinners outside the entrances of participating businesses. Maps are available at all locations. Call 425-776-3778 for more information.
