Bring your knitting, stitching, quilting or other fiber arts projects to the game, get help from the experts, view the latest samples from area shops and meet other enthusiasts all while enjoying Mariners Baseball.

Don't forgot...the first Upper Queen Anne Art Walk is this Thursday, June 21 starting at 6pm. Here is the list of participating businesses showing art with the street dividers as your guide.

June Art Walk Participating Businesses

Eat Local 2400 Queen Anne Ave. N.. 206-328-3663 Rare private showing of art by Albert Fisher, 1960’s NW artist, as well as other artists from the Bonney Collection including: Lucian Freud, David Lance Goines and Tom Degroot. Albert Fisher studied under Leo Kenney and was a member of the Northwest School. He was one of the most prolific painters of the time but one of the least shown. Unfortunately, most of his work is privately owned so this is a rare opportunity to see his work!

Queen Anne Art Walk - Thursday June 21 @ 6pm

Come join the local artists showcasing their work at various businesses around upper Queen Anne for the first ever Upper Queen Anne Art Walk! Queen Anne Art Walk will occur every 3rd Thursday at 6pm. Look for balloons in front of the participating business locations and come meet the artists!

Save the Date! Neighborhood Nights and Queen Anne Art Walk To Begin In June!

The Upper Queen Anne Merchants Association begins hosting Neighborhood Nights this month; every Thursday businesses will be open late until 8:00pm, with a new Queen Anne Art Walk the third Thursday of every month starting June 21^st.

“My hope for Neighborhood Nights is to offer busy people a way to make it easy to shop and dine in their neighborhood. Our great local restaurants, cafes and other businesses are already open late. By having Neighborhood Nights the same night as the new Queen Anne Farmer’s Market, we hope to offer several reasons to enjoy shopping and dining in Queen Anne during the warmer weather,” says Joan Webster of Queen Anne Frame who is also the current president of the Upper Queen Anne Merchants Association.

In addition, Webster says businesses would benefit by pooling our resources to create increased foot traffic and exposure to new customers, brought to Queen Anne Avenue by all of our restaurants, unique shops and the new Queen Anne Art Walk. Thereby strengthening the business community and the identity of the business district.

The Queen Anne Art Walk will be on the third Thursday of every month to coincide with Neighborhood Nights and the Farmer’s Market. Kim Flanery-Rye of Bouncing Wall has been heading up this project.

Flanery-Rye, whose passion and background is in art, says that when she first moved into Queen Anne with her business, she thought it was interesting that a well-established neighborhood like Queen Anne would not have an art walk.

Her hope for the art walk is to create an environment of art appreciation, “For the neighborhood attendees, I hope it will give them an opportunity to meet many of the artists and be exposed to additional art they would not be exposed to otherwise. For the artists, I hope it will give them another venue to showcase their work. For the local businesses and participating merchants, I hope it will provide further exposure of their businesses.”
