Special Events on February 6:
New Venue for the Sequim Art Walk – Harmony and Vines at 120 W Spruce Street. They will be hosting Spellbound Care and Shayla Smith as their featured artist.

Blue Whole Gallery at 129 W Washington St. features “Art from the Heart”, an exhibition of artists Mary Franchini and Jennifer Rose. For most artists, the art they create is an expression of an emotion or a feeling they are experiencing. Mary and Jennifer share a passion for their art, and they both love the creative process.
Jennifer, a master bead artist, explains how beading puts her in her “happy place,” where she is grounded and at peace with the world. “After a busy day at work or when life moves in turbulent ways, I sit down with my tiny little beads and before long all of that is gone,” states Rose. “I love beading, and all of that love goes into every piece I create. A part of me is in each of my pieces.”
Mary, who works in acrylics, believes that “all art comes from our hearts.” She states, “When I am in the studio working, I’m happy and I feel complete. I love working with acrylics. They dry fast and I can make changes easily.” Lately Mary has begun working with oil pastels, a new challenge for this gallery member of 24 plus years. And longevity is a big part of Mary’s life. This month on February 13, she and her husband, George, will celebrate their 55th anniversary. “I love February!” states Franchini. Easy to see why!
From 6:00 to 8:00 PM, Wind Rose Cellars at 143 W Washington St. hosts Laurovia Jazz & Soul with powerful, sultry vocals by Laura Newman meets the lyrical beauty of Pianist, Sylvia Heins.

“OP Panto: It’s Not About the Hood” performs from 7:00 to 9:30 PM at the Olympic Theatre Arts at 414 N. Sequim Ave. The Panto returns to OTA for its second season bringing with it laughs, fractured fairy tales, audience interaction, and nonsensical fun. This year’s story focuses on a smashup of Little Red Riding Hood with Hansel and Gretel as Bernie Riding-Hood, enters the foreboding forest to find her lost hood and estranged grandmother, only to be encountered by overly aged siblings roaming the woods hungry for treats. Hilarity ensues as a gang of self-righteous squirrels, and an enterprising wolf, enter the picture wreaking havoc on all. None of it really makes sense, but the time had by all will be brilliant. “It’s Not About the Hood” is written and directed by Shannon Cosgrove with musical direction by Morgan Bartholick.
