PORT ANGELES — This town’s monthly art walk is not so run-of-the-mill.
Tonight and Saturday at downtown venues, for instance, you can behold digital fractal art, transformed wine bottles and pickles. And that’s to say nothing of the Brush Off painting contest (see story in this section).
This is Second Weekend, which means galleries and shops are hosting receptions with snacks, drinks and fresh art, all free for the sampling. Here are some highlights.
■ Tonight at Karon’s Frame Center, 625 E. Front St., artist Deborah H. Olander is showing her work, including floral photography, during an opening reception from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
■ “The Beauty of Summer” is the June show at the Landing Artists Studio inside The Landing mall, 115 E. Railroad Ave., where a free reception will take place from 4 p.m. till 7:30 tonight.
In keeping with the theme, the studio’s members will show their summer-weight scarves, floral art, marine pottery, beach scenes and local photography.
Refreshments will be laid out while digital fractal artist Pamela Dick and painters Mary Ann Proctor and Janie Brackney give demonstrations.
■ Roma Peters, aka Hawaii Amor, will sing and play her ukulele from 2 p.m. till 5 p.m. Saturday at Elliott’s Antique Emporium, 135 E. First St.; there’s no cover charge to come in and listen.
■ Bob’s burgers and beer plus Betsy’s pickles will be among the attractions at Harbor Art, 110 E. Railroad Ave., from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Gallery operator Bob Stokes will barbecue on the deck and sell cold ones while Betsy Wharton of the Clallam Canning Co. will be on hand offering her pickles and chutneys.
■ Novelty yarns are the thing Saturday at Cabled Fiber Studio, 125 W. First St. Free demonstrations with boucles, beehives, cables, crepes, slubs, spirals, snarls and tufts will run from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Light refreshments will be served.
■ Also at Harbor Art, Jenna Muru’s jewelry and upcycled creations — wind chimes made of wine bottles, for example — are featured in an opening reception from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday.
