The weekend is almost upon us. It's been a tough week.
We've had the passing of three legendary artists*, the gulf is in ruins, it rained for 18 days straight and my garden: what didn't drown has been eaten alive.
As all this is out of my control, I've decided to spiff up and head out to the art openings this weekend. Nothing like seeing good art to change one's perspective.
Here's what's happening:
First Friday Art Walk in Anacortes; many galleries and events, of note is 'Paintings and Pottery' by Cathy Shoenberg at Anne McCool Gallery, 711 Commercial
As well, the old fire station at 1011 12th, just west of Commercial, is now an art center. I haven't been there yet, but it sounds intriguing. 'This Woman's Work' a festival for women of our community: art, live music and a community potluck. 7 - 11pm.
Anchor Art Center is in the midst of 'Long Drawn Out Process', a group exhibition of drawing and installation, May 7 through June 26th, 216 Commercial

Gallery Cygnus, paintings of Nick Fennel and sculpture of Robert E Gigliotti
The show runs June 4th thru the 27th, the opening is Friday, June 4th, 6-8pm
The gallery is located at 109 Commercial across from Maple Hall in LaConner.

This opening is on Saturday, June 5th 5-8pm in beautiful downtown Edison:
Smith and Vallee Gallery is showing the paintings of Tod Horton, sculptures by Peregrine O'Gormley and works on paper by Chelsea Jepson. I hear there will be musical entertainment, as well.

I will need Sunday to create after all that inspiration.
