Stroll in the sun and soak in some art during August’s First Friday’s Art Walk. On the first Friday of every month, local galleries, wineries and bars welcome the art curious to enjoy free shows, usually during happy hour. Below are a few highlights.

Western Washington University associate art professor Seiko Purdue works primarily in fiber to create pieces exploring identity and environment.
