WEEKEND: Port Townsend Gallery Walk soaks up sun Saturday

PORT TOWNSEND — A one-time show by twin sisters; art blossoming in a garden; jewelry made with blacksmithing methods.

These are a few highlights in the monthly Gallery Walk in downtown Port Townsend on Saturday.

Participating venues will host receptions Saturday from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., and include:

■   Soak on the Sound, 242 Monroe St. at the north end of Water Street, where twins Dianna Sarto and Deborah Harrison have a joint show, “A Dance of Water and Light,” Saturday evening only.

Art lovers are invited to a reception Saturday evening with Harrison’s glass, marble and granite sculptures and her sister Sarto’s photography, which focuses on water and sunlight.

■   Gallery Nine, 1012 Water St., which has a variation on that theme: “The Liquid Landscape,” a one-woman show by nature photographer Nancy Cherry Eifert.

The artist will be on hand to chat about her photos, taken on backcountry travels and winter day hikes in and around Olympic National Park.

■   The Port Townsend Gallery art garden is open for the season at 715 Water St. Flowering plants, sculptures, ceramics and other creations from local artists await.

At the same time, the indoor part of the Port Townsend Gallery is presenting its June jewelry show, “Artful Alchemy.”

Participating artists include Shirley “the Chainmaker” Moss, Stephanie Oliveira, Caroline Littlefield, Addy Thornton and Andrea Guarino.

■   The Northwind Arts Center, 701 Water St., presents “Alchemy of the Abstract VII,” today through June 29. This show, juried by Sequim artist Michael McCollum, celebrates abstract and non-representational art, including that made with unconventional materials.

In addition to Saturday’s 5:30 p.m. opening reception, McCollum will give a free talk on his judging process at Northwind at 1 p.m. Sunday.

■   The Jefferson Museum of Art & History, in the old City Hall at 540 Water St., will be open for Gallery Walk with its show, “Thomas T. Wilson: The Best Known Unknown Artist in the Northwest.”
