6:13 PM: We’re in The Junction tonight as the May 2025 West Seattle Art Walk enters its second hour:

Artist Nalisha Estrellas is at Compass Real Estate-West Seattle (4531 California SW) tonight, doing some live painting. We mentioned her most recently as she’s the artist for the project to paint a mural on the long concrete retaining wall by the shore at Emma Schmitz Memorial Overlook. … A bit further up the same block, CAPERS Home (4525 California SW; WSB sponsor) is hosting artists from the West Seattle Garden Tour competition, including Memo Luna:

And Stacey Almgren:

Most Art Walk receptions continue until 8 pm (see all your options here). Right now, though, a special feature this month – 11 mini-concerts comprising Muse Fest: The Power of Women’s Voices, concurrently until 7:45, so we’re headed off to record a musician or two!

6:40 PM: We hopped a block south to listen to Havilah Rand at Great American Diner & Bar:

She’s playing all originals. Her venue is at 4752 California SW. We’re still in The Junction and off to check out another Muse Fest performance.

7:31 PM: That’s Champagne Honeybee, the Muse Fest performer at Darby Winery tonight. … And a reader report from Kate, with an artist who’s at West Seattle Arcade in Alki tonight:

An art walk update from Alki! Drew Mortenson’s art is so fun in the West Seattle Arcade!

Save the second Thursday of EVERY month for the West Seattle Art Walk! But also remember that many artists’ work is up all month long at the venues where they’re featured tonight, so you still have many chances to get out and enjoy local art.
