Today and tonight signify Friday, July 10.
PORT ANGELES — It’s “Bring Your Own Art” weekend again in downtown Port Angeles, with Studio Bob — one of several venues on the Second Weekend art walk — showcasing local artists of various ages and backgrounds.
“BYOA” is among the art displays awaiting those who stroll downtown tonight, Saturday and Sunday, and like its brethren, the show has a free opening reception that gives everybody a chance to chat with local artists.
Second Weekend also offers live music at a couple of venues, burgers and brews on one gallery’s deck — and local pickles.
Here’s a sampling of the events.
■ Watercolorist and photographer Marilyn Santiago is tonight’s featured artist at Karon’s Frame Center, 625 E. Front St., so the public is invited to stop by, meet her and enjoy refreshments from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Santiago is an award-winning artist whose photos have been shown in local galleries and in International Travel News magazine.
■ The Landing Artists’ Studio will show off its collection of steampunk jewelry, marine- and avian-themed art and other creations by local artists during this evening’s reception.
Refreshments will be laid out alongside the art from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the studio in The Landing mall, 115 E. Railroad Ave.
■ Second Friday Art Rock, aka 2FAR, pairs the band Crescent Blue with artist Regie Saxerud tonight at Bar N9NE, 229 W. First St.
While the quartet of Barney Munger, Mary Meyer, Ken Lambert and Dave Lenahan play Appalachian-flavored songs, Saxerud will create a painting on site.
The cover charge is $3 for the music- and art-making at 8 p.m.
■ Roma Peters, aka Hawaii Amor, will bring her ukulele to Elliott’s Antique Emporium, 135 E. First St., for some island-breezy songs from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.
There’s no charge to come listen.
■ Studio Bob, upstairs at 1181/2 E. Front St., is the venue for the 16th semiannual “Bring Your Own Art” show Saturday evening.
This showcase for artists of all ages opens with a free reception from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and from noon to 3 p.m. Sunday.
And it’s not too late to participate: bring a $5-per-piece entry fee and up to three works of art, tagged with your name and contact information, to Studio Bob between noon and
7 p.m. today, and you’re in.
For information, phone Bob Stokes at 415-990-0457.
■ Harbor Art, 110 E. Railroad Ave., features “flat tire to evening attire” functional art by Jodee Force this month.
Art lovers are invited to a free reception from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, where Force will be on hand with her purses, bags, belts, skirts and jewelry made of bicycle sprockets, valve stems, inner tubes and tires.
Also at Harbor Art, co-owner Bob Stokes will be serving up Bob’s burgers and brew on the deck from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday.
And for this Second Weekend event celebrating local art and food, Stokes will also have Betsy Wharton’s Clallam Canning Co. pickles, made from local ingredients.
