WALLINGFORD ART WALK!

For 2012, we’ll be doing the Art Walk every other month; you’ll find local artists & musicians showing and performing in Wallingford businesses on the first Wednesday of the following months this year:

• February
• April
• June
• August
• October

Each month, we’ll have a “theme” for the Art Walk.

February’s theme is “Love” (of course!) and we invite our Wallingford neighbors to create ART HEARTS with us to show your love for Wallingford, the Arts and any other person, place or activity you want to send love to this year!

Two ART WALK EVENTS this coming Sunday, January 29th:

Join us at the Wallingford QFC on Sunday from 4-6PM, January 29th to make your own ART HEART!

We’ll provide the supplies, you supply your creativity! Art Hearts are messages of love for the Art Walk and the Wallingford community. The Art Hearts will be displayed at the Wallingford QFC throughout the month of February.

Art Walk Social Sunday Evening 6-8PM:

Also on Sunday 1/29 we will have an Art Walk Social from 6-8pm at CMA Gallery and Performance Space (4501 Interlake Ave N #9) www.cmagallery.com . We will have Carole d’Inverno’s Art on display and music by Fascination Nation. Snacks and beverages will be available for guests. All ages welcome!

Julia’s In Wallingford:  Artist: Sultana A. Kaba
“An enchanted life has many moments when the heart is overwhelmed with beauty and the imagination is electrified by some haunting quality in the world or by a spirit or voice speaking from deep within a thing, a place, or a person. Enchantment may be”
– Henry Louis Mencken

Sultana A. Kaba graduated from Loyola University of Chicago with a degree in Fine Arts. She resides with her family in Bothell, Washington. Her passion is painting with her heart and she hopes that her paintings will evoke emotion in all who see it.

Wine World: Jeff Hengst.   Our display of Jeff’s work will include some of his lush landscape/abstract paintings inspired by the verdant colors and pearlescent skies of Autumn in the Northwest.  These works are lush and now grace many beautiful homes and businesses in the Seattle area including the Board Room for the Space Needle. We will also feature some of Jeff’s unique depictions of the fall harvest.  Ever since Van Gogh’s sunflowers became famous, it has become a challenge for artists to invent their own particular vision of how to paint flowers, fruits and vegetables.  Come see what Jeff has come up with.  And come see how much the atmosphere of art can enhance the quality and experience of enjoying good wine.
