The Nov. 6 First Friday Art Walk Sequim color theme is brown! Brown is the color of fall harvest and abundance, the turning of the leaves and seasonal spicy treats. The solid color of brown represents steadfast friendships, family trees and bonds, deep roots and supportive branches and comforting homesteads.
Find works of art and folks supporting the option to dress in shades of bountiful brown or representations of hearth and harvest as they enjoy an evening on the town with friends and family.
First Friday Art Walk Sequim is a free, self-guided tour of local art venues in Sequim on the First Friday of every month from 5-8 p.m. Visit online at www.sequimartwalk.com as a resource to download and print your own map.
