SEQUIM — Pluck a lucky four leaf clover and stick it behind your ear before taking a stroll tonight through downtown Sequim during First Friday Art Walk.
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.
The theme of March’s art walk is creativity, with organizers encouraging participants to wear green.
Green represents youthful spirits, generous support, new ideas, wellness, nurturing natures and young-at-heart pursuits.
A cross section of events:
■ The Sequim Civic Center, 152 W. Cedar St., hosts several decorated doors crafted by local artists as part of Habitat for Humanity of Clallam County’s “Artistic Door” fundraiser.
Artists from all over Washington are submitting creations to be auctioned off at “A Taste of the Peninsula” in April.
The entire collection will be together for the first time April 15 for a preview and reception in SunLand.
■ 1st Security Bank, 114 S. Sequim Ave., will be open until 6 tonight to display “Art that makes you smile” by Jean Wyatt.
Wyatt’s acrylic paintings, colored pencil art and journals are colorful, fun, whimsical, unusual and often a little off-beat, organizers say.
■ Hart’s Fine Books, 161 W. Washington St., hosts Becoming Piper Pan author Lindy MacLaine who just released the second book in her trilogy set in Neverland.
Harpist Paula Lalish also will perform during the during Art Walk.
■ Blue Whole Gallery, 129 W. Washington St., presents guest artist Mike McCollum, nationally recognized artist and art educator.
“This exhibit involves recent wood and resin works consisting of large totems and a series of pyramids,” McCollum said.
A series of tables that have wood and colored resin designed tops will also be on display.
McCollum was born in Hoquiam, but developed many of his artistic sensibilities from the San Francisco Bay Area.
He was awarded an individual artist fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts in 1980.
■ Wind Rose Cellars, 143 W. Washington St., hosts Twisted Roots — a musical group performing a mixture of tunes from the 1960s and ’70s.
■ The Sequim Branch of the North Olympic Library System, 630 N. Sequim Ave., presents a storytelling program this evening by Richard Jesse Watson with music by Bread and Gravy.
Join Watson for an interactive experience with music while he picks ideas from the audience, turns them into quick drawings and creates a story from scratch.
Bread and Gravy is the husband and wife duo of Stephanie and Jess Doenges.
Based on the Olympic Peninsula, their music alternates between powerful rock and soulful blues to smooth bluegrass and good old-fashioned Americana.

■ The Museum and Arts Center, 175 W. Cedar St, tonight features “The Young Artists” exhibition displaying talent of all ages.
