SEQUIM — Those with a fine taste in music and art are encouraged to feel the love during tonight’s First Friday Art Walk in downtown Sequim.
The free self-guided tour leads participants to local art venues in Sequim on the First Friday of every month.
It will be held from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Visit www.sequimartwalk.com to download a map of participating venues.
Happy and healthy hearts are the focus of the event, which incorporates red as the theme color.
Today also is National Wear Red Day to increase awareness of heart health.
As such, event organizers encourage participants to wear any shade of red — from blush to burgundy — during their evening out on the town.
A cross section of events:
■ The city of Sequim will dedicate a glass art sculpture in memory of Bobbi Burkett as part of the First Friday Art Walk held tonight.
The free event will begin at 5 p.m. at the Sequim Civic Center, 152 W. Cedar Street.
The sculpture was donated by Steve Burkett, who retired as Sequim City Manager on June 30, 2015, as a memorial to his late wife Bobbi.
The piece of art consists of 10 colorful glass plates mounted on a metal armature. The sculpture will be permanently installed in the southeast corner of the Civic Center lobby.
Approximately $11,000 was raised by the community through a fund created by the Olympic View Community Foundation for the sculpture.
The piece was designed and constructed by Bob Rigg of Seattle Glassblowing Studio.
