July 7 First Friday Art Walk Sequim Pops with Purple Color Theme

First Friday Art Walk Sequim

July 7, 5 – 8 p.m.

Various Venues in Sequim WA

July 7 Art Walk Color Theme is PURPLE! Purple is the color of Sequim’s famous lavender blooms and represents magical camaraderie, cultivated dignity, supportive spiritual efforts, and royal thoughtfulness. Those sweet lavender flowers come in purple, violet, mauve, orchid, lilac, indigo, amethyst, plum, pink, and even white. You will find works of art and folks supporting the option to dress in tints and shades of purple as they enjoy a festive night on the town with friends and fellow Sequimmers preparing for Sequim Lavender Weekend later in the month. Come out and celebrate what makes Sequim so special!
