The Oasis Art Gallery (3644 Wallingford Ave. N) has a one day show this Sunday, November 7th, 3 - 6 pm, featuring the work of 5 talented youth from the area. Colleen Lambert explains: This year's event features works that show the girls' diversity, both in their own heritage and their ever-widening view of the world. The theme was selected because they have all been fortunate enough to travel more and learn more about other parts of the world. It was…

First Wednesday of the month is tomorrow, which means Art Walk time. Honestly, we were a bit surprised that the new co-chairs, Tara Shuttleworth and Katie McCallister, decided to make a go of it through the winter (in previous years, it's been summer-only). There were busy nights this past year, but also some pretty quiet ones. Add in the certainty of rain during the winter, and getting the crowds out will be a challenge. Re-Leaf Massage, Seattle Bank, Tangerine, Harold's Lamps…

Art Walk Additions and Corrections

Yesterday we said that today's Wallingford Art Walk would be the last of the season. It will not. Unlike the last few years, when Art Walk took a winter break, they're going to try to run it throughout the winter this year. Tara will be taking over in December. It's not 100% clear to us who chairing it next month (Colleen and Alex, the existing chairs, are stepping down after today's Art Walk and Tara isn't taking over until December), but…

Homebound? Can't make it up to the shops on 45th Street but want to window shop? Never fear, the Internetz are here! Our friend Rusty has been working on a project, Real Places, for some years now that allows people to take Google Street View-like tours of the inside of buildings and such, and he's featured Wallingford's 45th Street early in its development. Click that link and take a stroll through Sock Monster, Fainting Goat, Not a Number and more. As…

Don't be thrown! Wallingfor Art Walk is the first Wednesday of the month, and even though it seems strange that Labor Day is still six days off, tomorrow is the first Wednesday of the month. So what all is going down this month? Seattle Bank (1227 N. Allen Place, across from Tutta Bella) will be showing Tracy Wallschlaeger's oil paintings: "She was the recipient of both The Morris Merit Scholarship and The Little Art Gallery Scholarship for her artistic and academic…

Sea Turtle, in Progress

We reported on Friday that neighborhood was about to adopt a colorful turtle on an intersection close to Hamilton.  Well, here's an update, along with some photos of the nearly completed project: When I left my house at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday morning, I passed a small group of neighbors armed with brooms to prep the intersection of 41st and Interlake for its transformation. By Sunday afternoon, I was amazed by the group’s progress: a graceful sea turtle with yellow eyes,…
