Red-themed Art Walk coincides with National Wear Red Day

February’s First Friday Art Walk Sequim on Feb. 6 embraces red as the theme color, coinciding with National Wear Red Day to increase awareness of heart health.

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

Initiated in 2006, the First Friday Art Walk Sequim is an encouraging and educational arts event that is sponsored and produced by Renne Emiko Brock. Its mission is to create approachable and accessible art and cultural venues that encourage the community to connect and celebrate expression and diversity.

Special events for Feb. 6 include venues new to the Sequim Art Walk: Harmony and Vines, and Spoonbar Sweets.

Harmony and Vines at 120 W. Spruce St. will be hosting Spellbound Care and Shayla Smith as their featured artist. From 5-7 p.m., they will be running a vision board class. A vision board is a collage of images, words, photos, dreams, and goals to support your aspirations and unique intentions.

“OP Panto: It’s Not About the Hood” performs from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m. at the Olympic Theatre Arts at 414 N. Sequim Ave. The Panto returns to OTA for its second season bringing with it laughs, fractured fairy tales, audience interaction, and nonsensical fun. This year’s story focuses on a smashup of Little Red Riding Hood with Hansel and Gretel as Bernie Riding-Hood, enters the foreboding forest to find her lost hood and estranged grandmother, only to be encountered by overly aged siblings roaming the woods hungry for treats. Hilarity ensues as a gang of self-righteous squirrels, and an enterprising wolf, enter the picture wreaking havoc on all. None of it really makes sense, but the time had by all will be brilliant. “It’s Not About the Hood” is written and directed by Shannon Cosgrove with musical direction by Morgan Bartholick.
