The Sept. 1 Art Walk color theme is blue. The sky is not the limit when it comes to creativity, inventiveness and our community spirit. Blue can be dreamy, peaceful and hopeful, yet it also is strong and honest full of professionalism, ambition, responsibility and building alliances.
You will find works of art and folks supporting the option to dress in shades of blue or representations of lofty and loyal aspirations as they enjoy an evening on the town with friends and family.
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. Visit online at Sequim ArtWalk.com as your resource to download and print your own map, find out what special events are happening, links, and how you can be part of art.
Our mission is to create approachable and accessible art and cultural venues that encourage the community to connect and celebrate expression and diversity.
This encouraging and educational arts event is sponsored and produced by unique as you/Renne Emiko Brock.
