5:17 PM: That’s the official list of participants in tonight’s West Seattle Art Walk, happening right now in business districts from Alki to Morgan Junction! Artist receptions are previewed here, and most go until at least 8 pm. You have extra options starting at 6 – The Art of Music mini-concerts, and the Junction Pride celebration. We’re headed out to visit some of tonight’s stops – updates to come!

5:55 PM: Our first photo is from the West Seattle HS student exhibit at West Seattle Realty (2715 California SW; WSB sponsor):

West Seattle High School Media Arts Program reception until 8 pm. Student work from West Seattle High School, about 40 students represented. In this exhibition, we are proud to showcase many student artworks from both Beginning and Advanced Photography and Graphic Design classes, as well as projects from Technology Student Association State competition. Please enjoy just a sampling of the talent and dedication our students have to the Media Arts including Digital and Analog photographs, Fashion Design, bookmaking, and more!

And you’ll find multiple artists/vendors inside Jet City Labs:

This is on until 8 pm – read about it here!

7:02 PM: More than 40 people have been marching across Walk-All-Ways for the Pride rally organized by VAIN. They were joined by District 1 City Councilmember Rob Saka:

“Honk if you love gay people!” one rally leader hollered at drivers stopped for the signal after one crossing, and several obliged, as did passing drivers before and after the bullhorn-amplified invitation. Right now, bonus fun at the intersection – Better As Brass is about to perform in front of KeyBank.

8:11 PM: It was a beautiful night for The Art of Music performances too – curator John Redenbaugh sent this photo of My Real Job at Soprano’s Antico Pizza & Pasta Restaurant:

Next Art Walk will be the Summer Fest Eve edition on July 10th, when you’ll be able to stroll the closed-to-traffic Junction streets as festival preps proceed!
