The Seaside First Saturday Art Walk takes place 5-7 p.m. Oct. 6. The free event is all about seeing and selling art in sponsoring businesses between Holladay and Broadway in the historic area of downtown Seaside.
609 Broadway
Highlighting new merchandise from Tesoros for the El Dia de los Muertos celebration held on Nov. 2. It is also called All Souls Day, marked to honor the dearly departed, and a day of joyous remembrance, not sadness. In addition, showcasing exclusive handmade jewelry and art. As a member of the Fair Trade Federation, Moxie demonstrates a genial and equitable approach to conducting business.
600 Broadway
Featuring vintage original oils, designer goods, work created by artisans and collectibles gathered from all over the country. Peddler’s Row is an antique business curated by Avery Loschen and Will Perkins, property owners of the Gilbert Block Building.
606 Broadway
The gallery will be hosting an open house celebrating all of their artists. In attendance will be mixed-media upcycle artist Patty Thurlby and SunRose owner/pique assiette artist Cathy Tippin. Classical guitarist Dan Golden will provide live music — and possibly be joined by Ray Coffey on flute for a few songs. And as always, refreshments will be served.
608 Broadway
Featuring Steve Bloom, an artist who has the unique ability to combine his mastery of the most ancient printmaking techniques with contemporary processes to create internationally renowned imagery. Also featuring “Oregon-grown” antiques, art and collectibles presented by Kay Kenny.
612 Broadway
Opening reception is for Exploring New Surfaces, an exhibition curated by Agnes Field, an Astoria-based artist with a master’s in studio fine art from New York University. The works in this exhibit use either new materials or methods and techniques to amplify the meaning in the content of their art. Adding or embedding new materials to the surface creates surprise, and occasionally, deeper interpretation and understanding of the subject. The exhibit will include Leah Kohlenberg, Kathy Moberg and Carmela Newstead.
Art Walk visitors will be the first to see these works, as they have been made this year, with this venue in mind.
A habitat lecture by naturalist and wildlife photographer Neal Maine is at 6 p.m. Live music by Shirley 88. Light bites and beverages.
616 Broadway
