WEEKEND: Painting, music to blend together in Port Angeles during monthly Second Weekend

NOTE: “Today” and “tonight” refer to Friday, Jan. 8.

PORT ANGELES — Like a happy couple, live music and fresh art get together this weekend in downtown Port Angeles.

It’s known as the Second Weekend art walk, and it starts tonight with a reception at the Landing Artists’ Studio and Second Friday Art Rock, the blending of painting and music-making at Bar N9ne.

Also this weekend: Bring Your Own Art, the community-driven show at Studio Bob.

Here come the particulars.

■ The Landing Artists’ Studio, on the ground floor of The Landing mall, 115 E. Railroad Ave., lays out hot apple cider, snacks and wearable art during a free reception from 5 p.m. until 7:30 this evening.

Apropos of winter, the studio has Jennifer Bright and Janie Brackney’s handmade silk and wool scarves, boot cuffs and wrist cuffs.

■ Bar N9ne, 229 W. First St., hosts Second Friday Art Rock, aka 2FAR, starting at 8 p.m.

This mashup brings together the Juan de Fuca Band and local artists Jeff Tocher and Benji for a night of live painting and bluesy rock and folk music.

While the band, fronted by songwriter Dan Maguire, plays, Tocher and Benji will set up their easels and create.

A $3 cover charge gets you in to see it happen.

■ Elliott’s Antique Emporium, 135 E. First St., has Roma Peters, aka Hawaii Amor, singing and playing ukulele from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. It’s free to stop in and listen.

■   Harbor Art, 110 E. Railroad Ave., hosts a free art party from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday.

This is a chance to see the work of 15 local artists, from photographers to jewelers. More about the gallery also awaits on the Harbor Art Facebook page.

■   Studio Bob, upstairs at 1181/2 E. Front St., presents Bring Your Own Art, a showcase of works made by professional artists, amateurs, adults and youngsters.

The opening party for the show runs from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday; then at 8 p.m. the band Raygun Carver dishes out the alt-country and rock.

Admission is free while food and drink are for sale at The Loom, the lounge adjacent to Studio Bob.

For those who can’t make it Saturday or just want more, another opening reception for Bring Your Own Art is set for Sunday. Studio Bob and The Loom will be open for that from noon to 3 p.m.
