Arts show opens today at Port Angeles’ The Landing mall

PORT ANGELES — Though it’s called the Sequim Arts Members’ Show and 5 x 7 Show, it takes place in Port Angeles: at The Landing mall, 115 E. Railroad Ave., starting today and running through next Sunday.

Admission is free to the exhibition in the mall’s downstairs atrium.

The nonprofit organization known as Sequim Arts, which has members in Port Angeles and beyond, is in the process of changing its name to the Olympic Peninsula Art Association to reflect this.

In the meantime, the annual members’ exhibition and 5 x 7 show offer art for sale including numerous 5-by-7-inch pieces — from anonymous artists — for $20 each.

Visitors can preview these compact works between today and Friday, but they cannot buy them until after 5 p.m. Friday.

Only after purchasing the piece will the buyer learn who made it.

The Sequim Arts exhibition offers much more than the 5 x 7s, noted organizer Pamela Dick. Many larger pieces, including award-winning works, are part of the event.

“Come and immerse yourself in art,” Dick said.

The show will be open from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. today through Thursday; then comes a reception from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Friday.

On Saturday, the display will open at 10:30 a.m. and finish with another reception from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Finally on Sunday, it will stay open from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Proceeds from this event will benefit two nonprofits, KSQM Radio in Sequim and Sequim Arts.
