HAPPENING NOW: Cool art on a warm afternoon at Feather in the Wind pop-up
You could say it’s like a speakeasy for art. That door and staircase just north of the entrance to Alki Arts (6030 California SW) leads up to the gallery’s annex loft, where this afternoon is your last chance to visit the Feather in the Wind art pop-up show/sale.
Those are the feathers in the name, created by participating artist Kassie Hennessey. As for the wind, it’s an airy little space if you’re looking for somewhere to cool off. Or maybe some gift shopping? Alizah Olivas‘s jewelry awaits, a variety of stones set in silver:
Each of the five artists has a unique focus, particularly Peggy Nelsen‘s handcrafted papier-mache:
“Petey the Party Pumpkin” relates to the story Peggy told us about how she got started. In pandemic year 2020, she was sad that Halloween wouldn’t happen, so she made creations like this as gifts. That led to others, like these moons:
“Sometimes good things can come out of bad situations,” Peggy observed. … Other participating artists include Diane Bellisario, with “modern marquetry,” and Jormain Cady with pottery. They’re all in the upstairs annex until 6 tonight.
