Studio Bob to showcase ‘Six Points of View’
In March, Studio Bob in Port Angeles presents “Six Points of View – Fine Art by Pacific Northwest Women Photographers.”
The exhibit features the work of six women from Sequim and Port Angeles — Suzanne DeMerci Anaya, Marian Bodart, Peg Hanson, Lori Moilanen, Mary Swartz, and Susan White — who met as members of the local Olympic Peaks Camera Club. The exhibit will feature photography from distinct artistic points of view and a variety of genres, but a unifying theme is the love of nature and natural landscapes.
Studio Bob is at 118½ E. Front St.

Call for ‘innovative’ art
Now is the time to submit an application to the 127th Sequim Irrigation Festival Innovative Arts and Crafts Fair! The fair will be held on May 6-8, at the Sequim Civic Center plaza, 157 W. Cedar St.
This includes the May 6 First Friday Art Walk Sequim Patron Preview.
The Innovative Arts and Crafts Fair emphasizes re-usability, repurpose and recycling. However, organizers note, “any vendor who creates unique, high quality hand-made craft products will be considered.”
This is a juried show, and all submissions are judged on overall quality. Applications will be accepted until March 26. The application packet is at IrrigationFestival.com on the “Innovative Arts and Crafts” event page.
New this year is the Crazy Daze Breakfast for Dinner — a twist on the Crazy Daze Breakfast, to coincide with the First Friday Art Walk Sequim.
For more information, email to innovativeac@irrigationfestival.com.
Woodturners to meet on Zoom
