JUNE 30, 2016 // 9 July 2 “Steen’s Mountain Sunrise” by Dave Bartholet at The Gilbert Gallery. SEASIDE — The Seaside First Saturday Art Walk, cele- brating 12 years in 2016, is all about the arts. Visitors walk about, meet artists, sip wine or snag appetizers, view artist demonstrations, listen to an artist talk or enjoy live per- formances in music. The next art walk is from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, July 2 at galleries located in the historic Gilbert District of downtown Seaside. SunRose Gallery 606 Broadway Seattle-based fiber collage artist Robin Montero returns to SunRose for her second show, exploring needle felting and Bas-relief wool sculpture. Unlike a flat painting, Bas-relief has a dimensional appearance like a cameo, balancing depth through texture using a barbed needle to bond the fibers together with their surroundings. Ocean life is a favorite inspiration. In addition to her fiber art, Montero will intro- duce her art jewelry made of resin, known as “doming,” where two- part epoxy is applied to a photo. The image becomes magnified and preserved, then Montero molds it into bracelets and pendants. The Gilbert District Gallery 613 Broadway The gallery, a co-op shared by artists from Washington and Oregon, is celebrating12 years and features watercolors, bronze sculptures, giclee prints, Native American jewelry, oil paintings, greeting cards, nature designs and gifts. Artists include Mike Sage, photographer Steve Bash and more. Gallery co-owner Dave Bartholet will reveal the original watercolor “Steen’s Mountain.” Enjoy live music and refreshments. SeaSoles Boutique 608 Broadway Artist Angela Whitlock has lived on the North Coast for 16 years. A professionally trained jewelry maker and Astoria gold- smith, Whitlock enjoys playing with creative expression. She works in many mediums, including collage, painting, pen and ink, found object assemblage, and crochet. Lately drawn to producing wearable art made of sterling silver, brass, copper, fresh water pearl and sea glass, Whitlock’s greatest inspira- tion comes from long beach walks with her dog. The curve of a piece of driftwood, a barnacle-encrusted seashell, a clutch of squid eggs or the changing ocean is all inspira- tion for the artist. Fairweather House and Gallery 612 Broadway Attend the opening reception for “Power of Two,” an exhibition featuring regional artists whose body of work reads like an oasis of calm, a subtle backdrop during business of high summer. “Without giving too much away, the artists arriving are watercolorist Paul Brent, oil painter Victoria Brooks, wood turner Daniel Harris, textile artist Sherry Harris, jeweler Cindy Bricca, textile artist Linda Ballard, wood worker Mike Brown and toothpick artist Marga Stanley, each with a connection to the num- ber two,” says gallery owner and show curator Denise Fairweathe. “Meeting an artist in person and listening to an artist talk is half the fun of attending an art walk.” Seaside nature photographer Neal Maine introduces his latest natural history journal of images and will speak at 6 p.m. A Painting Seaside Live demonstration will be offered by Brent. Adult beverages, light refreshments and door prizes offered by the featured artists will be provided.
