Fall windows to debut this week

For years, our location at 408 Main Street was Ann Turner's jewelry store. Her husband built the beautiful cabinetry along our interior wall and the window displays. The windows are a pleasure to keep filled with tempting artist accoutrements and art, and we get lots of comments from people who enjoy what we are doing with our displays. Tomorrow all the Halloween orange and black will be cleared out and a fall window display will be done featuring Barbara Wyatt's earthy ceramics work, and Mona Fairbanks monoprints. Ann comes by periodically and is pleased to see her space well taken care of. Her grandson, by the way, has now opened Alan turner Jewelers across the street.

ARTspot at Artists Connect

Today Mona, Scott, Angela and I presented an ARTspot overview to the networking group here in Edmonds called Artist Connect. Here is Angela demonstrating the new Dan Smith water-soluble oil paints. My rep from Jack Richeson brought goodie bags for everyone attending, and I gave away some fun stuff too. If you ever have a need to meet counterparts in the community, this networking group extends an open invitation. Check out the link, but mark your calendar for every 4th Saturday at the ArtWorks Building at 2nd & Dayton 10 am to Noon.

Halloween in Edmonds

This is what 5,000 pieces of bubble gum looks like.... ARTspot is ready for our first Halloween in Edmonds!  I brought my kids down for the annual Edmonds Trick or Treat night when they were little. It is a super fun activity for families. The streets are blocked off from traffic, and the kids get to go store to store collecting candy and treats. Come down and see us 5-8pm - we are the go-to place for Dubble Bubble on Main Street!

Ribbon Cutting Ceremony Fun

Here we are being welcomed into the business community by the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce yesterday. That giant pair of scissors actually works! [wonder if I can get some of those for the store?]. Thank you to all the Chamber members that turned out, and to my fabulous business partner, Denise Cole, for making this all possible. We all enjoyed pink punch and cookies afterwards. Small town charming!

Upcoming Hidden Hazards in the Arts Workshops

From Dave Waddell:

Just a heads up to you and any of your artist friends that there will be a free workshop this coming Monday from 6:30 to 8:30 pm in Fremont on chemical hazards in the arts (see enclosed flyer).  Artists can easily sign up for it via Brown Paper Ticketshttp://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/284528   It would be helpful to have anyone who registers mention the type of art techniques and media they’re working with so I can do my best to customize the presentation to touch on them.

Hiawatha Lofts (843 Hiawatha Place S., Seattle) will be hosting the next Hidden Hazards in the Arts Workshop on Monday, November 5^th from 7 to 9 pm. Artists can register for this free event by sending an email to dave.waddell@kingcounty.gov

thanks Dave for these terrific presentations!
