The October First Friday Artwalk is Friday, October 5, from 6 – 9 pm.

620 Commercial Ave., Burton Jewelers

Burton Jewelers will feature the continuing Rebecca Hyland show, a postumous collection of her watercolor and mixed media works.  This much loved local artist has a wide range of style and was very prolific, with inspirations drawn from nature to scenes of Europe and the Middle East.  Also, Burton Jewelers will present an impressive collection of Opals and pink Tourmaline, the October birthstones.  Opal traditional comes from Australia, but also has more recently been found in Ethiopia in brilliant quality.  Come see the opalized fossil clamshell. As an added attraction, October 5th is Holly Burton's birthday!  Cake and refreshments will be served and there will be live music!

604 Commercial Ave., The Good Stuff Arts

The Good Stuff Arts presents “Exhilarating Textures” which challenged our 40 NW artists to paint different subjects and use their medium in different ways.  Come see the colorful results of this new Show.  Our Featured Artist for October is Robert Gigliotti, Sculptor, whose bronze, metal, and stone sculpture present a literal and philosophical interpretation.  Robert enjoys hearing each person’s thoughts and feelings about his pieces.  “That’s one of the man fun things about art.”  Robert will be talking about his sculptures, technique and thoughts at 6:30 - 8:30 pm for First Friday Art Walk.  Regular hours:  M-F 10 - 5; Sat:  10 - 4; Sun Noon -3.

The Majestic Inn and Spa welcomes Maggi Mason. Mason works in collage and oils drawing her inspiration from books, music, poetry and nature and from experiences living and travelling in different countries such as Europe, Scandinavia and extensively in the Far East.
