It’s PhinneyWood Phestivus!
In December, the PhinneyWood Art Walk partners with the Woodland Park Zoo’s WildLights and the neighborhood’s holiday monkeys to present PhinneyWood Phestivus.
This new neighborhood holiday party includes free trolley rides up and down Greenwoood and Phinney Avenues from the Woodland Park Zoo to 87th St from 6 – 10 pm, the monthly Art Up/Chow Down Art Walk from 6 – 9 pm, Santa Claus Lane in Greenwood from 5 – 9 pm and an Ugly Christmas Sweater “Monkey Crawl” with discounts at participating businesses for anyone wearing an Ugly Christmas Sweater.
A map of all art walk and Phestivus locations (including trolley stops) can be downloaded here: PhinneyWoodPhestivus_DecArtWalk
Phestivus activities are listed on the back of the map and details are also available online here: http://phinneycenter.org/phestivus/index.html
Participating art walk venues are listed below.
Abram’s Chiropractic: 7815 Greenwood Ave N
Art Up Site
Featured Artist: Caitlin Fennelly
Caitlin Fennelly is a visual artist living and working in Seattle. Originally from Philadelphia PA, she has shown in several galleries across the country. Her work incorporates an underdrawn linear system to describe the connectivity of space. She draws from a spiritual influence, in which subjects embody “divine icons” in sacred spaces. The images suggest a solitary empowerment in the quiet details around us. Living in a society wrought with distractions, fast interactions- our sense of patience is disrupted. She creates work that offers an opportunity for reflection and the viewer to be here now.

Featured Artist: Anthony Garzzona:
HEADS is a series of characters with strong, less than perfect personalities. I try to imagine each head with a specific voice or behavior that plays on repeat to give the static illustration more presence.
Drawing has been my favored way to stay creative since the early school years. And it’s almost always been heads: human heads, monster heads, animal heads, your dad’s head, heads with heads, all the heads. I kept this attachment to character creation and drawing through college (Industrial Design major through the Art Institute of Seattle), and have applied it to my current career as a Senior Designer creating beer tap handles for local, national, and international breweries.
When starting a new character illustration, I start by thinking about the character’s personality, what features I want them to have, and how to exaggerate those features in ways to make final persona a little (or a lot) gross. I choose pen and ink for its simplicity, speed, quick contrast, and ability to create large bold areas and thin detailed ones.

Featured Artist: Chris Blakely
Seattle photographer Chris Blakeley first turned to toy photography when scheduling photo shoots turned into social calculus. Looking for something more immediate and portable, he first turned to toy dinosaurs before moving on to the infinite story telling possibilities found in Lego. He aims to craft narratives either in single images or full comic books such as his photo novel series Adrift and can usually be found crouching over rock gardens and parks looking for the just the right angle. He also hates talking about himself in the third person.
