Seattle City Councilmember Nick Licata has launched Seattle Art Walks, a neighborhood resource web page highlighting 13 art walks throughout Seattle.
The web site includes a map of Seattle surrounded with links to neighborhood-sponsored art walks. The Wallingford (first Wednesdays) is among the 13 art walks. The others are: Ballard (second Saturdays), Fremont (first Fridays), Belltown (third Thursdays), Pioneer Square (first Thursdays),West Seattle (second Thursdays), Upper Queen Anne Art Walk (third Thursdays), Greenwood-Phinney (second Fridays), Madison Valley (annual), Capitol Hill (second Thursdays), Central District (second Saturdays), Chinatown-International District (first Thursdays) and Georgetown (second Saturdays).
Licata, long time chair of the Seattle City Council committee overseeing arts, highlighted the Seattle Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs’ Creative Vitality Index. This 2007 data ranked Seattle’s overall creative vitality at roughly six times the national average.
For those of you who have missed the Wallingford Art Walk in the past, they run 6-9 throughout the neighborhood. This Wednesday, Sept. 1, is the next monthly art walk. Look for the yellow stars to see participating locations.
Happy art walking!
This is so cool! As the Chairwomen 🙂 of the Wallingford's first Art Walk in “08” and the co chair for the past two years it's been my pleasure to work with Alex Strazzanti of Oasis Art Gallery. We have worked hard to bring Art and business's together in Wallingford. We both have decided to step down as co chairs after 3 years. We are optimistic that Wallingford will continue to support this great event! Thanks Wallingford!
