April is a great month for art. If you do one thing this month, you might want to consider a visit to a local gallery or museum, Art Walk, tour or festival. It might be down the street or make a trip of it to a neighboring city.
The one exhibit that caught my eye is “Paintings About Trees”. It is showing at Jeffrey Moose Gallery on 5th Avenue in Seattle through May 3rd. www.jeffreymoosegallery.com A great review can be found at http://seattletimes.com/html/thearts/2023182544_treesjeffreymoosexml.html
Other options in the Puget Sound area that you may want to consider are the galleries of:
- Downtown Kirkland www.kirklandartwalk.com
- Gallery Walks in Pioneer Square and the Seattle Art Museum www.firstthursdayseattle.com
- Anacortes Galleries www.anacortesart.com
- Bainbridge Island Galleries www.bainbridgedowntown.org.
- Bellingham Downtown Art Walk www.downtownbellingham.com/artwork
- Gig Harbor Art Walk www.gigharborartwalk.com
- Edmonds Art Walk www.edmondsartwalk.com
- La Conner Galleries www.laconnerartwalk
- See http://www.artguidenw.com/artevents.htm for all the Art Walks and more…
- So many to list and yet, so many would make great day trips or a day out (like Poulsbo, Sequim, Langley on Whidbey Island, Camano Island)
And, this being April, a visit to some of the most beautiful natural art of all, the 31st Annual Skagit Valley Tulip Festival www.tulipfestival.org
Art Guide Northwest has all the details you might want to find that special something, whether it be the physical or the beauty of just viewing it. http://www.artguidenw.com/
I am hoping to get to the Tulip Festival next week, and I really want to see Miro before the exhibit leaves the Seattle Art Museum. Have you checked it out?
Have fun at the Tulip Festival and take some pics! We are members of SAM but haven’t been recently, and probably won’t get to Miro (looks interesting!). Make a great day of it!
