WEEKEND: Sequim First Friday Art Walk welcomes June

“Today” and “tonight” signify Friday, June 5.

SEQUIM — If you like free live music, fresh art and snacks, tonight’s your night in and around downtown Sequim.

The First Friday Art Walk is on from 5 p.m. till 8 p.m. with free receptions and art shows at various venues.

And, as ever, there’s a color theme: white, as in June weddings.

Art walk coordinator Renne Brock-Richmond comes up with a theme each month, and for her, white represents the whole color spectrum.

Art walkers are encouraged to wear white, or any form of it, tonight.

For a map and other details, see www.sequimartwalk.com, find the First Friday Art Walk on Facebook or contact Brock-Richmond at 360-460-3023. Here’s a sampling of the attractions.
