First Friday Vancouver's Art Walk

Winter's chill was in the air, scarfs settled cozy around the neck, moving from one warm gallery to another; out of the cold and into the glow surrounded by beautiful eye catching local art.

Vancouver Washington's First Friday Art Walk on February 4th invited the community to step out of their heated homes and onto the main streets of downtown. Many people gathered to soak in the visual arts while sipping wine in a relaxed environment.

The art displayed at each gallery presented a plethora of different mediums and styles, there was really something there for everyone. Art is not just the element of wonderment imagining how the artist was able to create the finished product. It is also an element of communication as viewers gravitate to certain pieces that seem to have a magnetic pull speaking specifically to an individual. The beauty of these gatherings often leaves a viewer with an impressed image that speaks to their heart.

Vancouver's art galleries are strong advocates for local art and invite you to share your work with them. Gallery 360 explains, "We call our selves the 'come as you are gallery'." They want local artists to have an accessible opportunity to display their work. Each month they accept new art works that go along with the monthly theme.

 

Aurora Gallery also offers opportunities for local artist's that are wanting to take the next step in getting their work out into the public eye. They also provide a quality framing service and help many artists complete their work with the perfect frame. It is pro-active to open the doors to underground or emerging artist's bringing fresh art to the communities eye.
