A plethora of purple at art walk

First Friday Art Walk Sequim

When: July 7, 5-8 p.m.

On the web: www.sequimartwalk.com

The July 7 Art Walk color theme is purple!

Purple is the color of Sequim’s famous lavender blooms and represents magical camaraderie, cultivated dignity, supportive spiritual efforts and royal thoughtfulness. Those sweet lavender flowers come in purple, violet, mauve, orchid, lilac, indigo, amethyst, plum, pink and even white.

You will find works of art and folks supporting the option to dress in tints and shades of purple as they enjoy a festive night on the town with friends and fellow Sequimmers preparing for Sequim Lavender Weekend later in the month. Come out and celebrate what makes Sequim so special!

First Friday Art Walk Sequim is a fun and free self-guided tour of local art venues in Sequim on the First Friday of every month from 5-8 p.m.
