West Seattle Art Walk: From Barton Street Lofts to The Junction

Outside Windermere Real Estate in The Junction, a young West Seattle Art Walk-goer pondered the sign. Much to see on a cool near-autumn night – not far away, Kristina Griffith painted on the sidewalk in front of the Junction boutique Carmilia’s:

Further south at ArtsWest (WSB sponsor), Eric Montoya was on hand to welcome visitors to the new show he’s part of (through October 2), Tenuous Truths, and across the street, Geoff Carter’s work – including Jessica Rabbit and Tinkerbell, here – graced the walls at knows perfume:

Then we ventured south to the biggest event of the night, more than a dozen artists showing at the Barton Street Lofts (WSB sponsor; here’s a map) – among them, Michelle Auer:

And James W. Sutherland:

Some of the Art Walk visitors mingled in the Barton Street Lofts courtyard, where you’ll find this water feature:

Next West Seattle Art Walk, October 14th, starts the fall quarter, and some participants rotate in and out each quarter, so watch for a new walking map when the date gets closer – as well as previews on the official Art Walk website (here) and Facebook page (here). Meantime, if you can’t wait that long for another artist reception – this Saturday night, Alena Hennessy will be on hand as her watercolor and ink works go on display at Click! Design That Fits (WSB sponsor), 5-8 pm in the Admiral District (next month, they move to The Junction).

    Thank you so much for the coverage, and for the kind words! I only wish I hadn’t forgotten my cards last night — I met so many terrific people, and I had no email or web addresses to hand them. Anyway: Jessica & Tinkerbell, and a bunch of other shots, live here:

    That is one adorable little girl! She must have amazing parents. ;-)

    That’s our 2 yr old Lilly in the top photo. She liked plucking objects from the art itself last night before enjoying a few slurps off my Husky Deli ice cream cone.

      Art Walk is for all ages! I wish it had been around when our guy was that age. Last night I was at a meeting downtown but co-publisher tells me The Teen assisted with Art Walk photography in dad-and-lad teamwork. He would’ve had a blast at age 2 too – TR

    The junction association did some insuring of that (making it all ages) last night when they censored a piece at knows perfume. I saw the piece and felt they were wrong for doing that–all ages or not.

    Oh _that_ Geoff Carter! For the record, besides being an accomplished photographer, Geoff is a very entertaining writer!
