It’s finally starting to feel like spring around here, so what better reason to get out and get some art. There is plenty to choose from in and around Everett including our latest exhibit the Mathematics of Art. This exhibit goes through June 25th, so there is plenty of time to see some of Paul Vexler’s wonderful work in the lobby.

And while we at the AC tend to pay the most attention to visual art happenings the Village Theatre’s production of “Stunt Girl” has one more week in Everett, so be sure to catch it before it’s gone.

Congratulations to John Osgood, whose work has been selected for the 2009 Fresh Paint Poster. His festival image will be unveiled in May 2009, but for now you can check out his work at Bherd Studios in Greenwood. Or if you are interested in seeing him in action check out this video of the 23rd & Dearborn street mural being created.

We were all so happy last week in our sunglasses and sundresses. This week, we’re draggin’ no matter how much caffeine we drink or sweet things we eat , it’s just not cheering us up.
As we head into August, we are getting ready for Fresh Paint. Make sure you stop by the Arts Council booth and say hi to the Redheaded Stepchild
Hope to see you then!
