Art Jam 2018

Art show and sale

When: 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Friday, July 20- Sunday, July 22

Where: In the barn at Rock Hollow Farm, 505 E. Silberhorn Road

Art Jam 2018 is hosting its annual art show and sale during Sequim Lavender Weekend and will reveal its theme for this year’s event — a 10-foot totem representing the “fifth” element.

From 10 a.m.-5 p.m. starting Friday, July 20 through Sunday, July 22, Art Jam will have a variety of art demonstrations, art for sale, craft activities, music and more at the barn at Rock Hollow Farm, 505 E. Silberhorn Road.

There are nine artists in Art Jam and two guest artists each year. The artists participating in this year’s Art Jam include: Lynne Armstrong, Barb Boerigter, Brian Buntain, Ed Crumley, Mary Franchini, Terry Grasteit, Tammy Hall, Stephen Portner, Susan Gansert Shaw and guest artists Linda Collins Chapman and Gray Lucier.

Each artist specializes in different art mediums, from acrylic and watercolor to sculpture to jewelry and more. The show each year offers artists an opportunity to display a large body of his or her work reflecting personal style, vision and technical proficiency.

Art Jam’s theme this year is the “fifth” element: a 10-foot rotating totem created by Art Jam artists called “The Great Totem” that will be on display for the weekend event. Each artist was given a 1-foot section of irrigation pipe to build their totem piece around and each piece could not be taller than 12 inches and no wider than 36 inches and could not exceed 10-12 pounds.

“Each piece (of the totem) is how each artist has interpreted the fifth element,” Susan Gansert Shaw said.

Every year the group works on a group project for the event and last year the group created a 6-foot raven woman called “Our Raven.”

Rock Hollow Farm is open for guests to bring food and drinks to have a picnic and there will be music and trails available for guests to walk along if they choose.
