PORT ANGELES — Bands called Moongrass and Trifecta, a painter new to Port Angeles and a singer-ukulelist: Such are the offerings of the Second Weekend art festivities, all starting tonight in downtown Port Angeles.
Here’s the lineup of activities, free of charge unless otherwise noted.
■ “Sunlit Shadows” is the new show of watercolors by Susan Liles at Karon’s Frame Center, 625 E. Front St., where refreshments and conversation with the artist await today from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Liles, who moved from Montana to Port Angeles a year ago, has studied watercolor painting with well-known artists Carol Carter, Ted Nuttall and Stan Miller.
