Whidbey Art Gallery, Langley —
Whidbey Art Gallery invites the public to come celebrate its 30th anniversary in
Langley during the first Saturday Art Walk.
Many current and past artists will be there, and they will have refreshments, giveaways,
and live music! The first 30 people to arrive will receive a Whidbey Art Gallery
tote bag.
Artist Codie Carman and her band ‘Into the West’ will perform. Into the West delivers
a strong country, rock, and blues beat featuring familiar covers and original tunes. The band consists of Debbie Cantwell on keyboard, viola, mandolin and vocals, Richard Knight on drums, Ed Wertz on bass, Stephen Reitz on lead guitar and vocals and Codie Carman on rhythm guitar and lead vocalist.
The featured artist for June is Doug Hansen. Doug’s years of art studies, combined with his artisan skills, have given rise to an inventive style he calls “Natstracts” (abstracts of nature). He integrates oils and organic elements into unexpected three-dimensional studies.
You may see artists’ work with a small card next to it with a Ukrainian flag symbol. The
card indicates that the artist will donate profits from the sale of the piece to a
Ukraine humanitarian support organization such as World Central Kitchen or UNICEF/
Ukraine. There are also solidarity doves available in exchange for a donation to a
charity of your choice.
