WEEKEND: Sequim’s art stroll beckons tonight; participants encouraged to wear favorite shades of brown

NOTE: “Today” and “tonight” refer to Friday, Nov. 6.

SEQUIM — Brown, that shade of seasonal spicy treats, is the theme color for tonight’s First Friday Art Walk.

So as always with these hues chosen by organizer and artist Renne Brock-Richmond, you’re invited to dress or accessorize in russet, cinnamon, cocoa, burnt sienna — whichever is your favorite brown.

The Art Walk, open from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., features fresh shows, music and snacks at galleries and other venues in and around the downtown.

Admission is free unless otherwise noted to these attractions:

■ The “Fostered Fiber” show, a display of quilts, sculpture and many other fiber art forms from about 40 makers, is open at the Museum & Arts Center, 175 W. Cedar St.

■ Fine artist Erica McClain, book artist Jean Wyatt, and DJ Jason Dalziel — spinning jazz and classics on a vintage Victrola — will welcome art and music lovers at Hart’s Fine Books, 161 W. Washington St.

■ Joy in Mudville, the band specializing in blues, rock and other Americana, will play from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Wind Rose Cellars, 143 W. Washington St.

There’s no cover while patrons are asked to purchase something from the food and drink menu.

■ Singer-songwriter-guitar man Jake Reichner will give a free concert of his nature-inspired folk, country, rock and even rap originals at Olympic Theatre Arts (OTA), 414 N. Sequim Ave.

This OFF (OTA First Friday) Stage event will go from 5:30 p.m. to about 7:15 p.m.

At 7:30, OTA will raise the curtain on “The Man Who Came to Dinner,” its fall comedy, for which tickets are $16 for adults and $10 for youths ages 16 and younger.
