Tomorrow is the second Thursday in June, so it’s West Seattle Art Walk night! That means dozens of venues around the peninsula have art and/or music and/or food/drink specials to entice you to come in:

This month’s Art Walk also will feature a Pride celebration organized by VAIN – meet up at their shop 6 pm (4513 California SW), then head south to Walk-All-Ways at 6:30 pm for dancing and general revelry.

For art highlights, see this month’s roundup on the Art Walk site, and check out this preview offered by Art Walk director Molly Ryan:

We have many student art pieces from Alki Elementary, thanks to Davina Dilley, the Alki Elementary Art Teacher. They will be displayed at West Seattle Arcade, Alki Hair, Alki Coffee Company, Blue Moon Burgers, Gary’s Place, Happy Lemon, and the Log House Museum – Thank you to the Alki Elementary students for making beautiful artwork for the businesses!

We will also have the West Seattle High School Media Arts Program showing at one of our sponsors, West Seattle Realty, located in Admiral Junction. Students from both Beginning and Advanced Photography and Graphic Design classes, as well as projects from Technology Student Association State competition will be shown.

Our Poster artist, Beverly Hill, will be displayed at Compass Real Estate in the Alaska Junction. Her work is phenomenal. She will be displaying pieces from her new collection, Industrial Scouting, which shouldn’t be missed! Also in Alaska Junction, former Art Walk leader Reeve Washburn will be at partner Windermere West Metro, and will be hosting a giveaway of Atalanta, one of her 8″x8″ collage on cradled panel! Partner Verity will be showing Sarah Ann Hamilton, with her collection called Honor Over Everything. Partner John L Scott will have three artists from Rain City Clay, in addition to musical performances by Mark Myzen. There will be a pop up market at partner Jet City Labs, featuring 8 different creators with pieces that would make amazing gifts for any loved one in your life!

Desmond Hansen, the prolific West Seattle street artist, will be displaying his work at partner Canna north of Morgan Junction. In addition, at partner NOR Design & Construction, Kristy Lewellen will be showing pieces from a private family collection that is over 60 years old – and all pieces will be priced under $100 (rare for original artwork!).

We hope to see everyone visiting businesses in their neighborhood!
