Join us for The First Friday Artwalk on Friday, October 4 from 6pm – 8pm.
Locations:
419 Commercial Ave, The Majestic Inn and Spa
Dee's work of the Pacific Northwest is somewhere between representational and abstract. As a mixed media artist, she views her environment as intimate, yet expansive, making for looser, more intuitive pieces. Dee paints primarily with acrylics with limited palettes, bolder colors and marks, and strong compositions.
420 Commercial Ave, Scott Milo Gallery
We welcome back Patricia Clayton and her palette knife oils with images of streams and landscapes. Also showing are still life pastels by Megan Veldee; mixed media collage landscapes and florals by BJ Dollahite; oil landscapes and seascapes by Matt Dollahite, oils by Donna Nevitt Radtke and turned wood vessels by Ron Radtke.
1010 5th Street, The Studios Above Scott Milo Gallery
Visit the studios above Scott Milo Gallery and see paintings by Cathy Schoenberg and Michael Clough. Climb the stairs and see exciting paintings, prints and sculptures.

716 Commercial Ave., Wishing Rock
We are pleased to present the work of M’Lyn Avera, who is a talented ceramic and clay artist from Bellingham. M’Lyn attended art and ceramics courses at the university and community college levels. The three-dimensional aspect of the clay and the connection to the Earth nurtures her creativity and she views centering on the wheel as a meditative experience. She uses old methods of Raku and pit firing in her work. This is a show not to be missed.
717 Commercial Ave., Ink & Wool
Ink + Wool is honored to feature a wide variety of artists and makers from the Skagit Valley and beyond for the October First Friday Art Walk.
