SEQUIM — The First Friday Art Walk will celebrate with a red-themed event from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at various venues in downtown Sequim.
Maps for the self-guided tour are available at www.sequimartwalk.com.
The art walk will welcome two new venues this month: Harmony and Vines, 120 W. Spruce St., will host a vision board class from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Attendees can create collages from images, words, photos, dreams and goals full to help visualize their aspirations. And Spoonbar Sweets, 171 W. Washington St., will host live music by Jason and Friends from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Other venues include:
• The Blue Whole Gallery, 129 W. Washington St., will host a reception for “Art from the Heart” from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The exhibit will feature bead work by Jennifer Rose and acrylic paintings by Mary Franchini.
“After a busy day at work or when life moves in turbulent ways, I sit down with my tiny little beads, and before long, all of that is gone,” Rose said. “I love beading, and all of that love goes into every piece I create. A part of me is in each of my pieces.”
“When I am in the studio working, I’m happy and I feel complete,” Franchini said. “I love working with acrylics. They dry fast and I can make changes easily.”
“Art from the Heart” will be on exhibit from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and from 11 a.m. t0 3 p.m. Sundays throughout February.
