SEASIDE — The Seaside First Saturday Art Walk, celebrating
12 years in 2016, is all about the arts. Visitors walk about, meet
artists, sip wine, enjoy light bites, view artist demonstrations,
listen to an artist talk or enjoy live performances in music. The
affairs are free and held in galleries, businesses and dining estab-
lishments located between Holladay Drive and Broadway in the
historic Gilbert District of downtown Seaside. The next art walk
is from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, April 2.
SunRose Gallery
606 Broadway
SunRose Gallery opens their art walk
season with “Expressions of Spring,” featur-
ing the whimsical mixed-media art of Sea-
side artist Patty Thurlby and the broken chi-
na mosaic art and jewelry of SunRose owner

Earthcore Apothecary & Wild
Commons
609 Broadway
Kirsten Webb has opened a wildcraft-
ed herbalism business with community
space and a performance venue aspect.
Webb grew up in the Seaside area, then
left for university and to travel the country
before returning. Drawing on backgrounds
in wildcrafting, art, performance, theater
management and production, design and
teaching, Wild Commons’ intention is to
empower locals and tourists alike to connect
more deeply to the land through local plant
remedies and workshops, and to connect to
imagination and creativity through curated
events, open movement studio time, and
other arts-related offerings.
Earthcore Apothecary has had an online
presence for a few years, but this is the first
time it’s been in a physical location. Read

Fairweather House and Gallery
612 Broadway
Fairweather will hold an opening re-
ception for the exhibit “Rain or Shine,” which
juxtaposes an array of art, images and voices
in a way that resonates with the spring
season, reshaping boundaries between the
reality and the creative process. Artists Gre-
tha Lindwood and Susan Curington offer a
fascinating approach in distinctive pictorial
language.
Lindwood, a lifelong resident of the
Pacific Northwest, cherishes the landscapes
and delights in capturing beauty in oil pas-
tels. By painting in the traditional plein air
style and by using an impressionistic touch,
Lindwood’s landscapes invite the viewer into
the scene. Curington, the third generation to
live on her rural wooded land, has known
particular trees since childhood. By living
in the thick of nature daily, her painting ex-
presses gratitude for the power and beauty
of nature.
These featured artists will offer a Sea-
side Painting LIVE episode, starting with
a blank canvas at the beginning of the art
event and completing a quick finish at the
end, offering patrons opportunities to watch
two masters create.
Seaside nature photographer Neal
Maine introduces his March/April natural
history journal and will speak at 6 p.m.
Patrons can enjoy wine tasting, light bites
and live music by Shirley 88 throughout the
evening.

of an internationally nomadic life. Zeberg
