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.
