Say goodbye to the final days of summer with the Queen Anne Artwalk, put on by the Upper Queen Anne Merchants Association, tomorrow night, Thursday, September 17. The event will host local artists exhibitions, refreshments, and special events and talks scheduled at participating Queen Anne businesses at the top of the hill, beginning at 3 p.m. until the stores close.

(Clue: It includes Queen Anne Frame, Skookum, Julia’s, Hilltop Yarn, Eat Local, Blue Highway Games, Chocolopolis, Lily’s Pampering Salon, Urban Kids Play, Fountainhead Gallery, Queen Anne Dispatch and Queen Anne Books itself). Or check out the event Facebook page.

Thanks to the Upper Queen Anne Merchants Association, Scott Ward and Heidi Kappes Belinsky for the graphic! Heidi, a local artist and scarfing extraordinaire, will be doing a demonstration for the art walk at 6:30 p.m. tomorrow at Hilltop Yarn. View some of her work here.

Other exhibits:

Queen Anne Frame will host Philip Amdal, Joan Webster, Sarah Brooking, Angela Salvadalena and Francesca Lohmann starting at 4 p.m. Patsy’s Pottery will be at Skookum at 4:30. Seattle portrait photographer Davis Freeman will be at Julia’s at 5. Artist Elara Tanguy will be at Queen Anne Books at 5:30. Paper-cut artist Nikki McClure will be at Eat Local at 7.

Update 7:13 p.m. – According to Tegan, from Queen Anne Books, participating merchants should have orange and turquoise balloons to help art-walkers locate them. Although store times vary, all are open until at least 6 p.m. You can pick up an art walk “passport” at any of the participating businesses. There’s a prize drawing for art walk attendees (prizes provided by the Upper Queen Anne Merchants Association). All you have to do is get the passport stamped/initialed at all the locations and drop it off at Chocolopolis when you’re done. Be sure to write your name and contact information on the passport so you can be reached if you win (and don’t worry, your personal info won’t be shared or get you put on a mailing list).
