After months of nothing but cable television and knitting to keep you busy, the time has come for you to toss down those knitting needles and head outside for the first Wallingford Art Walk of the year. However, don’t stow away the needles quite yet; this year the Art Walk will be happening every other month in an effort to better plan and promote each walk.
The organizers have decided to make each walk a different theme. February’s walk, not surprisingly, is “Love.” They’ve asked Wallingfordians to create “Art Hearts” to “show their love for Wallingford,” and will display those hearts at the Wallingford QFC for the month of February.
Here is a full list of artists and venues:
CMA Gallery and Performance Space: Music by Creative Music Adventures Student Jazz Combos. Seattle jazz students of all ages from various schools will be performing at the gallery during Art walk.
Artwork by Carole D’Inverno.
KeyBank Wallingford’s February artist is Rob Vincent who focuses on painting, inspired by world travel and the little things at home. Being an avid gardener besides an artist, much of his work comes directly from images of his garden and others that he’s visited throughout the West Coast and Europe. As always, KeyBank will be serving refreshments.
