Anacortes' monthly First Friday Art Walk happens this Friday, from 6 - 8pm. We have the locations.

ONE Real Estate is showing Charlene Hall’s landscapes. They capture the quality of light and boldness that embodies watercolors. Her Skagit Valley scenes are frequently enigmatic and dreamy. Suzanne Powers’ landscapes are inspired by the Salish Seas and the North Cascade Mountains.

Come join us for the first showing of the season. Beverages & Snacks provided.
