Art Free-for-All

Pendant, Timothy Keyzers

The McReavy House Museum of Hood Canal’s

————Art Free-for-All!

-

Sunday, August 15th

@Robin Hood Village in Union

11AM to 5PM

-

The Hood Canal region is full of folks who reveal and animate the spirit of this place, artists and artisans who cultivate a more sensuous connection for themselves and others through their work.

As ethnobotanist Wade Davis writes, “no description of a people can be complete without reference to the character of their homeland, the ecological and geographical matrix in which they have determined to live out their destiny. Just as landscape defines character, culture springs from a place of spirit.”

Come explore the processes behind various art, artisan, folk- and wild-crafted creations that are typical to the character of the Hood Canal region. Vendors will be demonstrating throughout the day. Have fun, ask questions, enjoy the local culture!

Join us at the McReavy House booth to learn more about our workshops. Sarah Vap will be available to sign books from 2-4 and answer questions about her Salish Sea Poetry Workshop.

The Skokomish Tribe’s People of the Water Healing Garden will have a display and tenders of the garden will be available to discuss the medicinal and healing arts of plant use–the nurturing, the making relationships, the harvesting and the preparing–as well as the more general role of the Garden in the Skokomish community.

This event is free and donations are welcomed.
