Highlighting tonight’s happenings … 2024’s first West Seattle Art Walk. Here’s the new list/map for this quarter:

Some venues have art and receptions for this month’s featured artists, some just art, some food and drink specials for those out on the Art Walk. Here’s where to get previews of venues and who they’re featuring. Most events are 5-8 pm.
