SEQUIM — Cindy Mangutz, the poster artist for the Sequim centennial celebration, will display her work in progress and demonstrate her painting style this weekend.
Mangutz will be at Hurricane Coffee, 104 W. Washington St., from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday.
She will also be at the Museum & Arts Center, 175 W. Cedar St., from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, said Barbara Hanna, communications and marketing director for the city of Sequim.
Mangutz, who is well-known in the Northwest for her primitive folk art style, moved to Port Townsend in the early 1990s from California with her husband, Steve, a woodcarver.
She was hired in September by the Sequim Centennial Committee to create a historical portrait of Sequim for the city’s upcoming centennial celebration, which will take place in the fall.
The poster art will focus on historical sites and key landmarks in Sequim and the surrounding areas pre-World War II.
The poster is expected to be completed and available for purchase by May.
The Sequim Centennial Celebration kicks off in October and will encompass a year of events.
It will culminate in a grand finale in November, 2013, which will mark the 100th anniversary of the incorporation of the city of Sequim.
