We spent a heavenly Saturday morning touring the studios of 6 working artists in the Puyallup area. You have time to get in on the fun if you make plans to participate tomorrow. This event, organized by Valley Arts United, is an opprtunity to see local artists at work in their studios, buy original art directly from the artists, and to celebrate the creativity that is alive and well right here in our neighborhoods. Studio maps can be found at any of the participating studios or at valleyartsunited.com. Studios are open from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm on Sunday and the whole event culminates in a reception with the artists at the Fred Oldfield Western Art Center (just inside the Red Gate on the Fairgrounds) at 5:00 on Sunday. We had our passports stamped from the studios we visited today. We'll enter the passport in a drawing at the reception tomorrow and hope to win a piece of art donated by the participating artists. My son has his eye on a black and white stipled elephant created by Becci Crowe. I can't tell you which one I am hoping to win. I hope we see you there!
