WEEKEND: Sequim Art Walk to celebrate town’s famous sunshine today

SEQUIM –– Sequim is all yellow, as the Sun City celebrates its trademark rain shadow at today’s art walk.

“Yellow shines like the sun, fueling our world and inspiring creative communication,” said Renee Emiko Brock-Richmond, art walk coordinator.

From 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., the art venues of Sequim will be open today (Friday) so those who want to stroll in the evening sun can catch a helping of culture, as well.

This month’s art walk features exhibits that have exploded out of the galleries, as yarn-bombed work perpetrated by the Fiber Arts Bombardiers dots downtown.
