This weekend is Ballard ArtWalk, coinciding with the Ballard SeafoodFest. The ArtWalk is Saturday, July 13 from 6 to 9 p.m.
From the organizers:
As one of the newer Art Walk venues, Ballard Consignment (5459 Leary Ave. NW) will feature artist Katya Minkina, who will be displaying some of her watercolor portraits. “When sketching real people who go about their business, a few seconds is all you get to capture a pose or a gesture. It takes a while to warm up and start seeing the essence beyond all the overwhelming details that cry for attention,” says Minkina. The artist will also be making sidewalk portraits throughout the weekend outside of Ballard Consignment as part of the Ballard Seafood Fest, an annual event that draws thousands of people. This convergence of fun events on Saturday offers visitors, and residents alike, the opportunity to explore this vibrant and diverse community.
