Sequim art walk reset
SEQUIM — Preparations are underway for the first Sequim Art Walk of 2016, to take place Friday, Jan. 8 in and around downtown Sequim.
The free event, which always includes art shows and refreshments at shops, galleries and cafes, will this time have “Whodunnit Downtown?,” a mystery game with clues and prizes, open to art walkers from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Sequim has a First Friday Art Walk every month. But since nearly all of the participating shops are closed this Jan. 1, organizer Renne Brock-Richmond has moved the party forward a week.
She’s giving it a color theme, as ever — silver — so art walkers and sleuths are encouraged to dress and accessorize in that festive hue.
