The Art in Great Spaces is coming to an end next week (Sept. 30th), but before it’s gone several of the artists are holding special events to cap off the program.
First, Janet Wold is having her “Crazy Sale”. Right now many of her pieces are 50% off, so that she can hopefully clear out her stash. She’ll be losing her main studio space in December, so it’s time to purge. And then towards the end of this week she’ll be bringing in more oddities and collectibles for a garage studio sale from Sept. 24 – 26.
Janet’s location is at the corner of Hewitt and Wetmore in downtown Everett. And just down the block are Jane Steele-Meagher and Emily Hannan who are both having opening receptions on September 29th. Jane will be open from 5-9pm and Emily from 5-11pm that night. Emily has been working on a large installation involving PVC pipe called “Pipes and Everett” that you won’t want to miss.
And, don’t forget about visiting our other 4 artists while you’re out and about. Here is a list of all participating artists and their locations through Sept. 30th.
- 2727 ½ Colby – Liz Geiger (www.lizgeigerstudios.com)
- 2702 Colby – Evelia Sanchez (www.potteryloftstudio.com)
- 1302 Hewitt – Ken Rowe (www.2dornot2d.org) & Janet Myer
- 2829 Wetmore – Jane Steele-Meagher
- 2811 Wetmore – Emily Hannan
- 2831 Wetmore – Janet Wold

Hopefully, you’ve had an opportunity to check out the artist studios being featured as part of our Art in Great Spaces summer program in downtown Everett. We had a great turnout for our Juried Show opening and the first Studio Walk last Thursday. If you haven’t been by yet, there is still plenty of time to check out the artists and their projects. (Note: Hours vary by studio, but many are open Tues – Sat. in the afternoon and evening).
One project getting plenty of buzz is Kevin C. McCarthy’s albatross installation. He is sculpting a very large albatross carcass and skeleton out of cardboard, which was inspired by the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Learn more about the idea and follow his progress on his blog where he posts regular updates and photos: http://artistculture.wordpress.com/.
And be sure to check out the other five artists working downtown through August 15:
Binky Bergsman, Mixed Media with Encaustic; www.bergsmanfinearts.com.
Elizabeth Lund, Watercolor, www.lizbeigerstudios.com
Claudia Postema, Watercolor, www.watercolorsbyclaudia.com
Lyussy Hyder, Oil

Yesterday our floor, as in a giant slab of concrete, was poured for the the Visual Arts Education Center.
It’s a beautiful thing, just remember to wear comfy shoes.
Obviously it was a lot of concrete…

It’s a beautiful day for being outside and for watching the crew pouring concrete in our new facility.

Looking for a way to save money? March 26, 2009

Saving money is always good, but right now it is more important than ever most individuals. Even those who are fortunate enough to have secure employment are looking for ways to cut back as the country waits for signs of an economic recovery, or at least a reversal in their 401k balances.
Maybe you’ve started going to matinee movies, or have taken to only renting (those grocery machines are a deal at $1/day). Either way you’re trying to squeeze more from the monthy buget. Well here is some good news for everyone trying to save a buck…the Arts Council is FREE!
That’s right all our exhibits are offered to the public free of charge. In addition our annual events such as the Artists Garage Sale, Fresh Paint Festival, and Gal-aPalooza are all admission free.
Our exhibit openings are a very inexpensive evening out. Where else could you take in fabulous regional artwork, sample a few appetizers, and have a glass of wine for next to nothing! It’s hard to beat $3 for a glass of wine.
Check out out calendar of exhibits and events for great FREE activities.
