Upper Queen Anne Summer Art Walk

It's time for the 2nd annual Upper Queen Anne Summer Art Walk! Last year's had a fabulous start for a first year art walk in Queen Anne, which was spearheaded by Kim of Bouncing Wall (that's me!) and Joan from Queen Anne Frame and Avenue Arts.

This is year will be bigger and better with help from Jaime Bagnariol, our new UQAMA President. UQAMA is launching the Summer Art Walk to coinside with the QA Farmer's Market from June to October. In addition, there will be a pre-launch Kick-off event with the local schools around Queen Anne on May 15th. What does this mean? 20 local merchants are "adopting" a class from John Hay, McClure, Country Day, St. Anne's and Coe and coordinating with the art teachers to display art in the locations.

This is a great outreach program that we hope will be welcomed by the community. The merchants are now getting the art work up in their locations so go out and check out the local student work. If you prefer to be part of the "event night"...come out on Thursday, May 19th starting at 6pm! Hope to see you all there!
