Attention all Artists! The City of Everett would like to show you around Everett for the day as part of a Studio Tour and Luncheon on October 24th. This also happens to be the same day as Gal-apalooza, our wearable art fair for the ladies, so I know you’d probably be in town anyway. (Janet Wold has already submitted her “cake” for the event. And it is fabulous!) All the details for the Studio Tour & Lunch are below. If you are interested be sure to RSVP soon to Carol Thomas, 425-257-7101, because space is limited!
