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

Art in Great Spaces first session started July 9th. Glenda made the rounds to make sure everyone was comfortable and settled. Like any good Welcome Wagon, she did not stop by empty handed.
Glenda puzzles over the Artists' bags
Lightbulb moment!!!!!! Who doesn't need toilet paper and candy?!
Starting her rounds
First Bag delivered! Elizabeth Lund can rest easy now and start making art
Next stop, Binky Bergsman
This local pooch struggles to keep up with Glenda's frenetic pace
Course, she did have to drag the old superhero costume out to get it done. Look! it still fits....she's been working out
We had a cold glass of ice tea waiting for her when she got back
Hope you take a stroll around yourself to meet and greet the artists who have set up studios all over town.
