PORT ANGELES — Studio Bob, the gallery and event space at 118½ E. Front St., is inviting art-makers of all ages, styles and levels of experience to take part in Bring Your Own Art, the show set to open Saturday.
Now is the time to pick out one, two or three pieces of work to enter in the exhibition, said Bob Stokes, Studio Bob’s owner and the originator of Bring Your Own Art eight years ago.
“This event is open to all,” he said, “professional, student, first-timers, nervous, never shown before . . . [it’s] a great chance to show something you or a family member has done.”
The entry fee is $5 per piece, and the days to drop off artwork at Studio Bob are Thursday between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. and Friday between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m.
Each piece should have a tag with its title, the artist’s name and contact information. A bit about the art and artist should be included, too.
Bring Your Own Art participants can choose to put their work up for sale at the show, in which case they should include the asking price of each work.
Studio Bob will charge no commission on art that sells.
The public opening party for Bring Your Own Art, part of downtown Port Angeles’ Second Weekend art activities, will go from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday with free admission. The free show will also be open from noon to 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 10.
Meanwhile, the Loom, the lounge adjacent to the gallery, will be open with a no-host bar and refreshments.
For more information, phone Stokes at 415-990-0457 or visit the Studio Bob Facebook page.
