Greenwood Collective will be hosting two outdoor art walks this month!
We’re taking art walk outdoors this Friday night at our usual time! Join us in Piper’s Lane (just west of the Greenwood Art Collective between the collective and Fred Meyer) on Friday, 9/11 from 5-9 pm for some socially distanced perusal of original art, including painting, illustration, photography, crystals and gemstones, jewelry, and lots more.
We’ll be setting up again in the same spot from 12-5 pm on Sunday, 9/27, so be sure to stop by and see us in the daylight too.
At both events we’ll be keeping our community safe by wearing masks and socially distancing, and we ask you to do the same.

Artist Statement:
I am rather fond of our Cascadia environment. I spend part of every day outside in it. What I observe and further imagine leads to these meditative symbolic drawings.These are elemental contemplations rendered with India ink on paper. I draw these images of wind, stone, water, magnetism, fire, growth and decay all observed and ruminated on daily . Thank you for taking a look.
Example Artwork: “Mending” 30 inches by 40 inches
Come out for the PhinneyWood Art Sale & Stroll on Sunday, August 30, 12-4 pm.

Featured Artist: Amy Kennedy
https://www.instagram.com/amy.kennedy.photos/
Photographer, Amy Kennedy, likes to take photos of subjects that evoke a sense of nostalgia with the viewer. That combined with an abstract style of framing and bold contrasting colors is what drives her aesthetic. A Washington native, Amy grew up in Tacoma and set her roots in Seattle in the mid-90’s after attending the Art Institute of Seattle.
This weekend, May 8 and 9, would have been PhinneyWood’s 25th annual BIG Art Walk. To commemorate, we had planned an exhibit of all 25 posters, all of which have been designed by Robynne Raye of Modern Dog Design.
As previously announced, the BIG Art Walk has been postponed — new date still to be determined — but here, for your viewing pleasure, are the posters (minus this year’s). Thank you, Robynne!.
Like last month, several venues are attempting a virtual art walk. Be sure to check them out,
Flying Bike Co-op Brewery is trying another virtual event this Friday, mostly likely a Zoom event with details posted to their Facebook and Instagram https://www.facebook.com/flyingbikecoop

Featured Artist: Michael Blade https://www.michaelbadeart.com
Originally from the Midwest, Michael Bade has called the PNW home since 2006. He finds inspiration with our mountains, the landscape, with plants and animals, with hops, and with dinosaurs.
The Greenwood Collective will be hosting a virtual art walk Frday from 7 – 9 pm through their Instagram at @greenwoodartcollective
They’ll have some process demos, art talks, live artmaking, and perhaps some surprises.
Seattle Recycled Arts (which participated in The Big One two years ago) had planned a show for May 9 but have moved it online here
Because of Stay-at-Home restrictions, the BIG May Art Walk, originally scheduled for May 8 and 9, has been postponed. No new date has been set at this point.
A few venues may try a virtual art walk again in May. Details to come.
We’re living in very different times so this art walk post is also very different.
In normal times, PhinneyWood’s monthly Art Walk — Art Up/Chow Down – held the second Friday of each month, features 20-30 venues and is an opportunity to discover a wide variety of art and check out local pubs and restaurants along Greenwood/Phinney..
This month – and perhaps for the unforeseeable future – we are all sheltering at home. So — a few venues are trying something different and are hosting virtual art walks. Because the list is short, however, we’ve also added a variety of links to arts and culture activities you can find from home.
And in the spirit of Chow Down, consider ordering take out from a local restaurant to enjoy while you virtually “walk” through the art. The PNA has put together a list of restaurants and cafes that offer delivery or curbside pickup.
And now for the art, regular art walk venues first (venue names are linked to their event):
Or check out the art on the Instagram pages of some of the regular art walk venues. (Note: these venues have not created a virtual art walk):
Other virtual options:
Thanks to the Internet, we don’t need to leave home to find art and culture from around the world. Listed below are a variety of resources. (Lots more exist. Just go exploring)
Art Museums
Music
Performances
The world of theater is now online.
Find amazing performances from the British National Theatre, Cirque du Soleil, and Seattle’s On the Boards (use promo code ArtAtHome20 at checkout to stream free through April)

UPDATED – March 30, 2020

For April — a number of venues will be attempting a virtual art walk — details to come
May’s BIG Art Walk will probably be rescheduled. Details are still being worked out.

Art was always a class I would sign up for in school. However, it wasn’t until three years ago that I became familiar with a paint brush & different mediums of paint. I started out with ‘Tacoma Rocks’ after finding a cute little Ladybug rock. I remember my grandmother painting Ladybug rocks for her garden, so I decided to give it a try. Canvas is still fairly new to me, but I do enjoy painting on the larger flatter surfaces. My style is definitely whimsical and colorful.
I hope you enjoy my art.

Featured Artist: Karen Johanson
Karen Johanson is a Pacific Northwest photographer whose work utilizes the alternative process of cyanotypes to showcase imagery that is frequently focused on urban life – everything from graffiti to architectural elements. Because cyanotypes rely on a single hue – blue – to relay the specifics of an image, the viewer can focus on abstract elements in a way that moves the mind away from the representational and to the inner world of contemplation.

Featured Artist: Veronica Sauer
Veronica Sauer creates paintings rich with daring color. Working from photographs to echo real life, she paints primarily in fast-drying acrylic with larger brushes, prioritizing shape, shadow, scale, and light. Impressionistic brushstrokes formulate mood, depicting emotion and expression. In her current portrait series, this use of abstract realism offers a new perspective on iconic faces, illuminating the inner person and story behind each individual.
In university studies of art history and past travels to the art museums of Europe, Veronica was drawn to the vitality of Expressionism & Fauvism, which drench canvases with rich color contrasts. However, it was not until after a corporate career and the interruption of her active life by a sports-related accident that she followed her passion for creating her own art. Self-taught, she experimented with abstraction before her godmother suggested she try painting faces. Veronica began with a self-portrait and went on to paint people she admired, was motivated by, or for whom she was thankful. Exposure, via gallery representation, public art walks, social media, www.VeronicaSauer.com website, and multiple art shows, has fueled VSauerArt private commissions and glowing reviews.
American born and a dual citizen of the U.S. and Germany, Veronica Sauer lives in Seattle and has a studio near Mount Rainier. Whether portraits, wildlife, naturescapes, sports art, or abstracts, her artwork radiates energy and highlights her passion for painting.
